Many knew him as "Long Snoot," one of his more accurate aliases. The joke goes that Garindan "sniffs out targets" better than anyone else. Of course, no one laughs if Garindan is within earshot. No one arrives in Mos Eisley without Garindan, and therefore the Imperial Prefect, knowing about it. Although his abode remains secret, rumors abound that Long Snoot lives a life of luxury. His purchases and the substantial prices he pays for information about the spaceport show that he has more than a little money tucked away somewhere. Spying, it seems, can be a lucrative business when done right. The sly snoop has also been known to drop a few credits in the gambling dens, but has never won a reputation as a sucker. Garindan is a Kubaz, natives of the distant planet Kubindi. However, this fact isn't well known amongst the inhabitants of Mos EisleyÑ most people assume that Garindan is a member of yet another miscellaneous alien species. Some even speculate that his long black snoot and his thick dark glasses are merely part of a disguise. Others around town claim to have seen him with his hood drawn back, revealing the snoot as part of his alien physiology. Even the powerful Jabba the Hutt, Mos Eisley's most notorious crimelord, was wary of Garindan. He cautiously provided distractions for the spy whenever he had business he wanted to conduct unnoticed. Garindan cheerfully followed these distractions. While persuasive and sneaky, Garindan is not brave. He has learned through years of dealing with the Jawas (wonderful sources of information if one can decipher their chatterings or stomach their smell) that the choice of fight or flee is academic. One can always exact revenge later, and few have crossed Garindan without paying a hefty penalty. The spy carries a blaster pistol under his robes (which he has reportedly never used) as well as a hand comlink on a channel known only to him and the local Imperial Prefect. He nearly cost the Alliance everything. Sources about Mos Eisley claim that it was Long Snoot who followed Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi around the spaceport. From a dark alcove near Docking Bay 94, Garindan placed a comlink call that alerted the Desert Sands stormtroopers to the fugitives' location. It was only skill, and a lot of luck, that allowed the Millennium Falcon to beat a hasty retreat before the troopers could bring their heavy weapons to bear.
