Kvettch was an Ewok who had been unwilling participant to one of the Empire's nastier experiments in which he was given the necessary intelligence to understand and converse in Basic, as well as given knowledge and ability to pilot ships (and a couple of other useful skills).

He managed to escape from the medical facility, using the newfound skills they had given him, and - after returning to Endor and realising that he could no longer be happy amongst his peers (and getting involved in a fight against the Empire) - had the good fortune of being passenger on a ship during the untimely demise of its pilot (who was so drunk he choked to death on his own bile). Kvettch took over the ship, and began his unlikely career as a pirate, specialising in stealing ships.

His life as an active pilot was cut rather short, as Kvettch fell victim to a fire which nearly burnt him to a crisp when during his 5th theft his opponent got the better of him and laid out traps for the feisty Ewok. Fortunately for him his co-pilot, the Gamorrean Ugmush, managed to pull him out and Kvettch was rushed to the nearest medical facility (which was a bit away, so maybe the term "rushed" would be applied rather hastily in this situation, understand it to say: they slapped some bacta patches on him on the 6-day trip back to civilisation, and hoped for the best).

Kvettch survived and was lucky enough to have lost nothing more than all his body hair which refused to grow back. As a sign of his bravery he took to staying naked henceforth. The fire also seemed to have damaged something in his bone structure as he has not been able to walk on his legs since then, but is using hoverchairs and the back of Ugmush to go where he wants to. There is, however, no documentation to back up any of his claims to this disability, and he seems to be quite able to control his legs when he needs to, so there is room for speculation that this is just a fabrication of his.

Currently, he and his merry gang of pirates - the Black Bloods are the scourge of the Outer Rim, having worked out a unique system to rid wealthy victims of their ships and belongings.
