Kin Laron was a Human woman, operating as an assassin during the era of the New Republic.
As an assassin, Laron piloted the Hell's Axe. Laron created a double life as "Shiaer Hifron," a trader who secretly fed her information, which allowed her to disguise her species and gender. She would meet with clients while pretending to be Hifron, who she claimed brokered deals on her behalf.
Laron, only accepting contracts to assassinate men, would use charm and trickery to get close to her targets. She would then murder them in their sleep aboard their starships using RX-8 poison gas capsules.
During the New Republic period, Laron accepted four bounties from the crime lord Gornt Seron to assassinate several men, including one named Den Hardon. By 7 ABY, the New Republic had placed a bounty of 25,000 credits on Laron's head, despite not knowing what she looked like or who she really was.
The sourcebook Wanted by Cracken initially mentioned Laron. Later, The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia mentioned her in the entries for Shiaer Hifron and Hell's Axe, but her name was incorrectly spelled as Kyr Laron.
