Radd Hardwikk was a Clantaani male, a member of Longo Two-Guns' criminal gang operating out of Mos Espa. Security forces in Mos Eisley sought him for instigating a riot during a podrace by detonating chubas within the audience. He was also under suspicion for additional offenses, including the unlawful dissemination of illicit goods and communication devices. Jango Fett ultimately collected the bounty placed on his head.
