You may not remember Kardue’sai’Malloc’s name (or even be able to say it), but if you’ve seen A New Hope, you’ll know his face. Malloc shows up in the background of the famous cantina scene.

The camera briefly pans to a character who resembles the devil with a fiendish smile on his face. That's Malloc! And, if you always thought that Malloc was up to no good, you’re right.

While Disney has watered down this character's backstory, in Legends he’s quite a devil.

In Legends, Malloc is known to the galaxy, as "The Butcher of Montellian Serat." He earned this nickname as an army captain on his home planet of Daveron.

Malloc’s unit was deployed to quell a rebellion. He captured the city of Montellian Serat imprisoning 700 men, women, and children. When his commanding officer ordered him to move on without the prisoners he interpreted this as an order of execution. He shelled the entire city and killed all 700 inhabitants.

Afterward, Malloc fled to Mos Eisley as a wanted war criminal.

Eventually, he was captured and returned to Daveron by the infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett. On Daveron, Malloc was thrown into a pit of starving animals and eaten alive, to the delight of a cheering crowd.
