'''Doune''' was a [[Herglic/Legends|Herglic]] gambler who was involved in a dispute with [[Nyo]] and [[Kinnin Vo-Shay]] over credits. He had the [[Lightsaber/Legends|lightsaber]] that a young [[Human/Legends|Human]], Nyo, wanted for his own. Having lost a game of [[Sabacc/Legends|sabacc]] with Vo-Shay over ownership of the lightsaber, he departed, leaving the lightsaber. Doune, however, parted with Kinnin's [[Obsidian/Legends|obsidian]] lucky charm, thinking that it contained the magical powers that contributed to Vo-Shay's success.

==Biography==
===Early life===
Little is known of Doune's early life, but at some point he learned how to play [[Sabacc/Legends|sabacc]] and acquired the [[Droid/Legends|droid]] [[Vee-Six]].

===Altercation with Vo-Shay===
Somehow Doune found himself on the planet [[Morado]], where he played sabacc, including with a farmboy by the name of Nyo, whom he left with one [[Galactic Credit Standard|credit]] to his name. However, he was challenged by the master gambler [[Kinnin Vo-Shay]] at a hand of sabacc, who took pity on Nyo. Vo-Shay ultimately won nearly a quarter million credits from Doune; Doune suspected him of cheating. Doune hired the [[Barabel/Legends|Barabel]] [[Yarrku]] to hunt down Vo-Shay's ship, the [[Ashanda Ray]], and retrieve his lost money. Yarrku failed, so Doune bought the lightsaber that Nyo was seeking on [[Nar Shaddaa/Legends|Nar Shaddaa]]. Doune then challenged Vo-Shay to a round of sabacc: if Doune won, he would keep Vo-Shay's lucky charm. If Vo-Shay won, Doune would relinquish the lightsaber. At the [[Nygann Cantina]] on Nar Shaddaa, Vo-Shay lost and Doune won the charm. Doune, only wanting the pendant, left the lightsaber. Now that he had the [[Obsidian/Legends|obsidian]] charm, Doune felt confident on his future [[Gambling/Legends|gambling]] career.

==Personality and traits==
Doune was an obsessive gambler, and apparently liked to pick on weak targets. He gambled often, and was also very superstitious. When he was agitated, his skin, like all Herglics, would mottle. He liked to think of himself as a victim when he lost, and took his anger out on his personal [[Droid/Legends|droid]], [[Vee-Six]].
