―Kyle Katarn and the bouncer

The bouncer welcomed both Kyle Katarn and 8t88 to the Rimmer's Rest.

A male individual worked as a bouncer at the Rimmer's Rest cantina on the moon Nar Shaddaa. In addition to passing on beverage orders to the server Timmy, the bouncer also welcomed guests to the establishment with an oft-repeated pitch promoting the cantina as the best one the moon had to offer. The bouncer also took table reservations.

During the year 5 ABY, the bouncer took a table reservation for a booth for a man named Kyle Katarn. However, he later allowed the booth to be given to a different patron. Around the same time, the cantina was patronized by the droid infochant 8t88, who the bouncer assured that the Rimmer's Rest was droid friendly as long as 8t88 had the cash to pay. However, when 8t88 attempted to learn if someone he was meeting at the bar had arrived yet, the bartender refused to hear 8t88 out, as it involved getting into the business of strangers. Although 8t88 agreed with the sentiment, he nonetheless continued to ask until his contact found him instead.

Roughly an hour later, Katarn entered the establishment, only to learn that the bouncer had allowed his reserved booth to go to someone else. Instead of the booth, the bouncer directed Katarn to a different seating arrangement and shouted Katarn's drink order, Novanian grog, across the noisy cantina to Timmy. Shortly thereafter Katarn met with 8t88, the latter of who had called the meeting, and engaged in business that quickly turned violent.

Personality and traits

"I am looking for—"
"Ah, da da duh, you gotta find him yourself. I make it my business to mind my own, you take my meaning?"
"Naturally."

―8t88 learns the bouncer's motto on privacy.

The bartender had a friendly disposition to guests entering his bar and repeated a "welcome pitch" that promoted the Rimmer's Rest, although his tone when giving the pitch indicated a tiresome opinion of the phrase. Given the clandestine interactions of the patrons, the bartender made it a point to stay out of other people's affairs, and refused to hear out 8t88's reason for being at the cantina. Despite reserving a booth for Katarn in advance of his arrival, the bouncer nonetheless let the table pass on to another patron, to Katarn's annoyance. When given Katarn's drink order, the bouncer simply shouted it to the bartender.
