Jodo Kast is considered one of the most interesting Bounty Hunters, not because of any individual style, but for the sheer lack of it. Kast's career and appearance were not only modelled after, but directly imitating, that of the Boba Fett..

He wears Mandlorian Shocktrooper Armor, similar to that worn by Boba Fett, although it is unknown where Jodo Kast got the armor. Kast's armor is not nearly as modified as Fett's.

 

Jodo Kast's equipment list is as follows:

Weapons - Modified Blastech EE-3 'sawed-off blaster rifle, powerful wrist laser, extremely hot-blue flamed wrist flamethrower, various types of rocket darts each coated with a different poison - some paralyze or stun, others kill.

Armor - adjustable jetpack topped with a special magnetic grappler, chest, knee and wrist plates to provide protection against long-distance laser blasts.

Helmet - IR sensors, syntherope.

His uniform's jumpsuit is a light grey, the chest plates are green, the face mask and armlets are orange, and the knee pads are dark yellow.

 

Fett's armor is blue in color and his helmet has a crimson red stripe running along the black visor while Jodo Kast has a bright orange stripe around his visor.

 

Often, Jodo Kast would use his appearance to trick employers into believing that he was the real Fett in order to drive the Bounty up. Or he would get jobs for his resemblance to Fett, when the party posting the Bounty wanted Fett's reputation but couldn't afford it.

 

Most people who saw Jodo Kast mistook him 'at first' for Boba Fett, which usually gave him an edge when negotiating and when hunting.

 

Kast was infamous enough to be known by most people he came across, once they realized that he was not Boba Fett. In fact, Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn knew enough about Jodo Kast to pose as him for a fairly lengthy period in a secret Imperial strike at the Black Sun.

 

In the book Star Wars: Tales From The Empire: Grand Admiral Thrawn disguised himself as Jodo Kast to uncover a Rebel smuggling agency.

It was Kast who pursued Ponda Baba through Truuzdann. Not Fett.

 

Jodo Kast teamed up with Puggles Trodd and Zardra when he was approached by Captain Parlan to hunt down Adar Tallon. Kast often worked with other Bounty Hunters such as Puggles Trodd and Zardra in order to complete the job. Many believe that Jodo Kast acceptance of partners was due to the fact that he wouldn't have been able to capture many of the acquisitions on his own.

 

AFTER THE BATTLE OF ENDOR

When Kast took a New Republic Bounty to hunt down Jerresk's pirates, he came under the notice of Dengar. Dengar relayed Jodo Kast's impersonation of Boba Fett to Fett himself. Boba Fett made a plan to kill the imposter. Fett visited one of the newly formed Bounty Hunter Guilds, using the alias Sava Brec Madak, but left his armor behind so no one would recognize him. Fett was believed to be dead in the Sarlacc on Tatoonie, plus he was also now travelling in Slave II, which no one knew Fett owned.

Fett demanded to hire Jodo Kast for a job. The job was to hunt down a ficticious Satnik Hiicrop. But Hiicrop was none other than Boba Fett himself.

Jodo Kast eagerly took the job. Kast 'caught-up' with Satnik Hiicrop on Nal Hutta. But when Hiicrop/Fett stepped out of the Slave II, in front of Kast, Fett was now in his full Mandlorian Armor with Dengar serving as backup.

 

Jodo Kast was said to call Boba Fett a 'fossil' at one time.

 

When Jodo Kast saw it was Fett he was shocked, but he immediately knew who his employer had been all along. The fighting between them was intense, and just when Jodo Kast thought he would survive, Fett knocked Kast down to the ground. Fett injected Kast with a nerve toxic arrow to disable him and removed all of Kast's armor, revealing his true identity. Fett was not impressed, Kast was no one.

Boba Fett, with Dengar who just stood and watched the battle of Fett and Kast, left the complex in the Slave II. Fett immediately blew up the whole complex, killing Jodo Kast inside.

 Jodo Kast's armor, weaponry, and presumably his ship, The Wolf, were all taken by Boba Fett.

 

Information on Jodo Kast's ship THE WOLF is available.
