Everybody who lives in the Star Wars universe knows the Hutts have a firm grip on the criminal underworld across the galaxy. But when it comes to the supply of narcotics, the Pyke Syndicate reign supreme.

Despite the power they wield, little is known about this aquatic-like species. Their inner-workings are so mysterious, its leader's name is unknown. But one thing that is known about the Pyke boss is his ruthless and cruel methods to retain power.

When he learned Tusken Raiders had settled near one of his trade routes, he could've bribed them to move. Instead, he had them all killed, including the women and children.

When Boba Fett learned about the massacre on the raiders, whom he regarded as family, he confronted the Pyke boss. Instead of admitting to his crimes, he claimed the Kintan Striders were responsible for the culling, encouraging Boba to wipe them all out.

When Boba realised he had been deceived, the Pyke leader launched everything he had at the bounty hunter's territory, decimating the city, and killing countless civilians.

Because the Pyke boss has a calm demeanour, it's easy to mistake him as a reasonable person. But make no mistake, he is callous, tyrannical, and cold-blooded (and not just because he's a fish).
