Day 1,319, Quasi-Quarantine: Epic Embo Joins Our Growing Group Of Mission-Based Bounty Hunters

 
Despite a relatively small amount of screen time, Embo was one of the more epic and memorable characters encountered in "Star Wars: Clone Wars."

A Kyuzo male bounty hunter, Embo was known for his quiet, stoic, but remorseless nature. An excellent close-quarters fighter, accomplished sniper, and peerless tracker, he worked a lot with Sugi, the Hutt clans, and even as a member of Boba Fett's Krayt's Claw bounty hunter collective.


Embo carried a bowcaster, had a pet anooba named Marrok, and used a starship called the Guillotine. However, his trademark was his metal, sombrero-like hat -- which could be used as a weapon, a shield, and a transport.

Embo's minifigure was only ever offered in the extremely rare (and incredible) Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship set (7930), so the ability to find an affordable version of the minifigure itself online was too good to pass up.
