Aurra Sing
Also known as 'Nashtah', Sing was a well respected and feared Bounty Hunter, but once had a very different life, for she was a Jedi Padowan to the Dark Woman who was no stranger to waifs and strays, however even she had trouble with Aurra and the latter never progressed past Padowan, mainly down to her inability to take orders. Then, she was kidnapped and turned against the Jedi before being taken slave by the Hutt clan. From then, she became a hunter, with a hatred particularly for the Jedi she now believed to be her enemy and of which she killed many.
Later, Dooku hired Sing to find the young Boba Fett, who it was believed had vital Separatist knowledge, but she tried to betray him instead, hoping to take Fett's own money for herself, though at this, she failed.
During the Clone wars however, she instead teamed up with Fett, in an attempt to kill Mace Windu, but again she failed and fled the scene in Boba Fett's ship, (Slave 1), whilst leaving Fett alone and wounded. She wasn't out of the woods though, as Padowan Tano had damaged Slave 1 and it crashed soon after. The Jedi from then presumed her dead, they were wrong, as her old flame Hondo Onaka found her and saved her life.
At another point in the 'Clone Wars', Sing was hire by Ziro the Hutt to kill Senator Amidala for trying to imprison him, also teaming up with Cad Bane and on this occasion she succeeded, and with other Bounty Hunters, she released Ziro and got paid well.
Years later, she went on the hunt for Jedi again and fought Aayla Secura among others, but she was beaten and arrested. Vader though released her, in return for aid in his purge of Jedi and again she went on the war path and faced many more, each time either completing her mission or fleeing mostly unscathed, whilst her opponents believed her to be dead. The true time of her death is still shrouded in mystery though, as she lived very old, but barely looked a day over 30, due to her families lineage of youth.

Zam Wessell
Zam, also known as 'Zam the assassin', was a Clawdite natural killer and hunter and had been from an early age. As a youngster, she trained in the ancient religious 'Mabari warrior' combat, and over time, grew into a skilled, dangerous warrior, who was seen as aggressive. Zam naturally disagreed, but when she took her hand to bounty hunting, she was seen in even a worse light, but her worst crime in the Mabari group, was that as a Clawdite, she could morph into another shape or being, often posing as a female, rather than her reptilial natural form and to the Mabari, not showing her true face was even more of a sin and she was branded as a heretic and outcasted, where she was forced to flee offworld, to a nearby planet called Denon, where she posed as a business woman.
Here on Denon, she worked up the ranks in her new job, making new contacts, but really she was more interested in bounty hunting and she used this new found power to do just that. Soon, she had a child with another Clawdite, but feeling trapped, she wanted to spread her wings and fled again, leaving her partner and child on Denon and starting a wider spread on her bounty hunting job.
Not long after this, she met Jango Fett, whilst on a contract to search for Komari Vosa and after more meetings with him, the two became almost a team occasionally and close friends.
One day, Jango was asked to assassinate Padme Amidala, so he asked Zam to do it, as they frequently subcontracted each other. Zam accepted and attempted the attack, but it failed and Padme went into the Jedi's protection. Fleeing the scene Zam attempted to escape in an airspeeder, but Anakin gave chase and after a crash, he caught her up. He insisted on asking her who hire her, but just before she could say anything, Jango shot a sabre dart into her, silencing her before retreating himself. Morphing back into her true form, Zam died almost instantly. Initially Obi Wan and Anakin were unable to identify the darts owner, but with a help from his old friend; Dexter Jettster, he tracked it back to Kamino; the home of Fett.

Dengar
Dengar, who's nickname for a while was 'Payback', was a Human Bounty Hunter from Corellia, and piloted the ship; 'Punishing One'. In his time, he worked with Bossk, Boba Feet and Asajj Ventress, and also often alone.
One of his earlier missions, he set out with Ventress, Bossk and others, on what should have been a simple escort job, but when the locals got nasty, he ended up being detached from the group and having to make his own way back to the Bounty Hunter's base on Tatooine.
On another occasion, Dengar had been trying to capture Han Solo and got entangled in a mess between both the Empire and the Rebels. This led to him ending up being on Vader's ship as a chance encounter and Vader subsequently offering him a chance to do what he'd wanted for a while; capture Han Solo and the other Rebels with him. Dengar hadn't got much of a big Bounty to speak of in all his career, so he jumped at the chance, despite having to compete for the bounty against former friends Boba and Bossk, (amongst others).
Again Dengar was beaten to the post, as Boba Fett sneakily led Vader to Han's old friend Lando's home of Bespin, but Dengar was left with a damaged ship, by Boba Fett attempting to capture Han within an asteroid field. Dengar did reach Bespin, but it was a few days later and he was too late, for Han was already captured.
Later in time, he married his life long friend of Manaroo and gradually slowed down on his Bounty Hunter's work. and eventually retired all together, though there was some occasions where he came out of retirement, if the allure of a descent enough job came along. One such job, led him to face Jaina and Jacen Solo; the children of Han who'd evaded him in the past so many times.

Cad Bane
This was a well known Bounty Hunter of the Clone wars era. He worked for whoever payed the most and often did jobs he'd rather not just to get payed. In his time he frequently had run-ins with Jabba the Hutt, Obi Wan Kenobi, Quinlan Vos and many others and also broke out of jail on more than one occasion.
In one elaborate plan, Cad Bane teamed up with Moralo Eval and other fellow Bounty Hunters in a plot to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine, but Obi-Wan managed to infiltrate their group, in a disguise of another Hunter called Rako Hardeen. Obi Wan's cover was blown, but as it turned out, it was all an ruse set up by Palaptine himself to draw Anakin out to fight Dooku, where if Anakin won, he would have fallen to the dark side and if not, he would still have his original apprentice: Dooku.
The plan failed from many's perspective, the Chancellor was fine and Bane was recaptured, but Palpatine had what he wanted, he had started the turning of Anakin.
As for Bane, he was furious, he'd fought many enemies and even endured a 'rediculous' contest in a box and still he went unpaid and worse still, he was put back in jail. After that he did escape again, but with the impending Empire era starting, Bane's hunting days were coming to an end and although he subsequently worked for the Empire, with Jango and later Boba Fett gaining more renown and money, his fame slowly wained until he died less wealthy and famed than his clone wars years.

IG88
An IG88 assassin droid was a lethal machine and it's no wonder that one of them (named Model B) became a bounty hunter and one of the 5 that Darth Vader hired to bring back the Rebels to him.
During the Clone wars, IG86 droids were commissioned by the Separatists and the assassin IG88 versions were an off-shoot of these.
He was very skilled and feared, but had a grievance with Boba Fett, so instead of looking for the Rebels himself, he put a tracker on Fett's ship; Slave 1, following him to Bespin. However, Fett was even more intelligent and skilled and found the tracker, before turning the droid into scrap.

Bossk
A male Trandoshan, whos' name means devours his prey, Bossk was a highly skilled and predatory Bounty Hunter, his name being quite apt, particularly towards Wookiees, which he loved to skin after defeat.
He was the son of Cradossk, who not only was a bounty hunter himself, he was actually head of the Bounty Hunters guild, so it was no surprise his son went into the same line of work from an early age.
He frequently teamed up with other bounty hunters, such as Boba Fett and Aurra Sing, though in truth, he preferred taking the bounty for himself. One of these occasions where he and other hunters would take on the same job, was in service to Vader, who enlisted Bossk, Dengar, IG88, Boba Fett, Zuckass and 4Lom to bring Luke, Han and Chewbacca to him. Boba was 1st to accomplish the task, so he was given the money.
Also around that time, Bossk had been planning to overthrow his father as leader of the Bounty Hunters guild, a highly respected position, for some years and put his plan into action, but Zuckass, (who he teamed up with), was secretly working for Cradossk and attempted assassination of Bossk. This was a failed attempt and Bossk boldly went back to Trandosha and murdered his father with his own weapon though. However the guild was never the same again, as it split into 2 factions, between veterans and youngsters.
Bossk would team up and fight against other bounty hunters on many occasions and even had more run-ins with Luke and Han, but long after the Battle of Yavin, when Chewbacca died, Bossk rubbed it in Hans face. This was not wise, and it left Bossk with a broken snout. Both were taken to detention cells. Han was released, but Bossk was not. Soon the facility where Bossk was prisoner was attacked and blew up, but as a small escape pod flew out just as it exploded, that may not have been the end of Bossk after all.

Greedo
This was a green scaly skinned Rodian, who whilst still young was shown the bounty hunter life style and such it was no surprise he took this occupational route. One day he took a well paid job from Jabba the Hutt to get Han Solo to pay up. He thought he had it all planned as he drew his blaster at Han whilst in the Mos Eisley cantina, but Han was one step ahead and just before Greedo could take his shot, Han shot 1st with his gun secretly hidden underneath the table. Greedo failed and Jabba just hired more bounty hunters in his place. As for Greedo it is said, after death he was ground down to a pulp for a 'specialised' drink to be served in the cantina.

Boba Fett
This was the son of Jango Fett, although technically he was a clone (:see 'Jango Fett'), but during the battle of Geonosis, Mace Windu slayed Jango, making Boba an orphan. He had to grow up quick and went round many worlds as he grew, often making freinds with unfriendly beings like 'Cad Bane' and 'Aurra Sing', of whom he frequently done bounty hunts with. But once he became an adult, he started to work more alone and became one of the most famed bounty hunters in the galaxy.
One day, Vader and Jabba the Hutt enlisted Boba's service to bring the rebels to them. Boba was foiled on the 1st occasion, but he did indeed succeed in capturing the rebels, including Han Solo who ofter eluded capture.
Later, with the help of other rebels, the heroes escaped again and so Boba's help was needed once more and he went with Jabba on his sail barge, accompanying them to the pit of carkoon. Once again though the heroes had a trick up their sleeves and Boba was again forced into a fight. This time though, Boba was defeated and ended up being tossed into the mouth of a Sarlacc who dwelled in the pit. Many say this death is the most horrific of all deaths and there is no way out once you're swallowed, but there are a few, who claim Boba did indeed survive and eventually managed to shoot his way out.

Jango Fett
As part of his devious plan, Palpatine sent Count Dooku to Kamino, pretending to be the Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, and asked the locals to make him a clone army. They agreed and secretly the clones began their birthing, with an added bonus of accelerated growth, Palpatine knowing he would give all the clones a secret order called 'order 66', that would change the tide of the war he pretended to fight against the Separatists in. This only proves his schemings.
Jango Fett was a bounty hunter and with his Mandalorian armour, he was perfect as the base model for the clones. He also asked for one clone to grow at normal rate and with no standard training from the Kaminoans, instead Jango would train him and he would look on him as his son. He named him Boba.
As part of another plot, Dooku had Jango attempt to assassinate Padme, so Jango entrusted an assassin (named Zam Wessel), to do this task he felt too menial, but Zam failed and so Jango silenced her with a sniped dart. Jango's dart led Obi Wan eventually back to Kamino and when he got there he heard of this plot. He became immediately sceptical when he heard, as he knew the real Sifo Dyas died years before and as Jango attempted to leave, Obi Wan rushed outside to Jango's ship platform and the two duelled. With help for Boba at the piloting seat, The Fett's escaped, but not for long, as Obi Wan placed a tracker on Jango's ship, Slave 1.
Tracing the tracker, he eventually was led to Geonosis, where a secret meeting was taking place, but once again, the Separatists got the upper hand and he, along with Anakin and Padme, who had come to 'rescue' him, were captured and placed in the arena to fight 3 beasts, as Dooku and Jango watched.
It seemed like the Jedi's end, until reinforcements came, including many clones and dozens of Jedi. Thus, a battle commenced, which near it's conclusion, Mace Windu; head of the Jedi council, sliced Jango's head clean off. At that moment, Boba got a new hate for the Jedi and was only too keen to become a bounty hunter like his father.
