The Colonial Council of Novus has placed a bounty on your wizard. You are a fugitive wanted for creating blackholes and general mischief. Phett and Cadd are two Bounty Huntsman Spiders looking to collect.
While helping Judge Hopner destroy the Emu Cannon you hear a Voice In Distress, “Help! Help! I’m in distress! There are monsters and shadows and squeaky things with teeth! HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPPP! Help! Help!”
Too late, your wizard discovers it is in fact Phett’s diabolical Wizard call and it worked.

Immensely popular in certain circles, but he just can’t seem to break into the Huntsman mainstream.
Cad Bane is a character in the Star Wars franchise. Created by George Lucas, Dave Filoni and Henry Gilroy, he first appeared in the 2008 animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars (voiced by Corey Burton). Burton would return to voice Bane in the 2021 animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch and live-action series The Book of Boba Fett (in which stuntman Dorian Kingi physically portrayed the character) on Disney+.
Cad Bane is depicted as a ruthless bounty hunter and mercenary from the planet Duro who is known for his trademark wide-brimmed hat. His fast draw, cunning wits and unscrupulous willingness to take any job for the right price earn him a reputation as one of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy. Often employed by other antagonists, Bane comes into conflict with the Jedi of the Galactic Republic numerous times during the Clone Wars. Through the reign of the Galactic Empire to the era of the New Republic, Bane retains his notoriety and continues to provide his services to the highest bidder, causing him to clash with Clone Force 99, Fennec Shand, Cobb Vanth, and even his former apprentice, Boba Fett.
Cad Bane was created to serve as a recurring antagonist in The Clone Wars. Writers Dave Filoni and Henry Gilroy originally planned to adapt the bounty hunter Durge, who was introduced in the 2003 Clone Wars micro-series, as a human character but Star Wars creator George Lucas instead suggested the creation of an entirely new bounty hunter with a Western design. The result was inspired by Western film actors such as Lee Van Cleef’s portrayals of Angel Eyes in The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly and Colonel Mortimer in For a Few Dollars More, while retaining the features of the Duros species in the Star Wars universe. Corey Burton’s vocal performance, inspired by the voices of actors Lance Henriksen (who was originally envisioned to voice Bane) and Peter Lorre, was then digitally modified by the series’ sound production team. While Filoni researched the character, he happened across unused concept art from the original trilogy of a gun-toting bounty hunter with a wide-brimmed hat that helped determine the character’s final look. Filoni speculated on George Lucas’ original idea for the character that became Cad Bane: “Something you notice about George Lucas after a while is that he’ll mention a name like ‘Mace Windu’ in a [1973] version of Star Wars, and then it pops up in 1999. So, this, I guess might have been an idea George had for the character Cad Bane way back when, and now finally he’s getting around to bringing him to the screen in The Clone Wars.”
