Nagyan, a bounty hunter dispatched by Risso Nu to apprehend Boba Fett on Ma'ar Shaddam, had a history with his target. Their previous encounter left Nagyan scarred, fueling his desire for revenge. The chance to restore his reputation by eliminating Fett was the driving force behind his participation in Nu's scheme.
Despite wielding a formidable collection of knives, Nagyan's reliance on these weapons led to his demise. Fett turned one of Nagyan's own knives against him, resulting in Nagyan's death.
