Blizz Pinnix was formerly a racer of both swoops and speeder bikes, having retired after a long career. With more than forty years spent racing, they were always seen with a helmet completely covering their face. Because of this, there was much speculation regarding their species and gender, though most people believed them to be a male Human. After their retirement from racing, Pinnix established "The Pits," a restaurant complex designed to serve swoop racers on Stend VI. Pinnix was often seen moving through The Pits with their expensive racing gear, and speeding around on their black swoop, the Black Raptor.
A mysterious legend due to never showing their face, Blizz was a popular racer. Even after retirement, they would occasionally enter and win races, remaining undefeated on the Black Raptor. One such race was witnessed by Cohden K'Reye, a Corellian gambler, who was watching from the stands. Blizz's speed and skill so impressed Cohden that he declared them unbeatable.
Using the trophies and awards accumulated over their four decades of racing, they founded and decorated a restaurant called "The Pits." The race track located outside their restaurant was named "Raptor Run," in honor of their bike. They also hired Chugg, a former speeder racer, to work as their bouncer. Kaylo NaKuda owned the adjacent building, Kuda's Compound. Unaware of Kaylo's support for corruption and slavery, Blizz would never have tolerated such activities in their restaurant had they known.
Blizz had become a master of swoop racing, and their expertise on the Black Raptor elevated their skills to legendary status. Their undefeated record was easily explained by their skill and the speed of their swoop. They also engaged in business and stayed informed about the latest swoop racer news by keeping their ear to the ground. Lastly, they possessed adequate skills with the blaster in general.
Paul Danner and Bill Smith created Blizz Pinnix for Wretched Hives of Scum & Villainy, a supplement for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game published by West End Games in 1997. Greg Smith provided the illustration.
