Boba Fett

Boba Fett is garbed in traditional Mandalorian armor with a cape, and several braids made of Wookiee pelts at his shoulder. His gauntlets also feature a wrist-mounted flame thrower, sonic beam weapons, dart shooter, several blades, and a fibercord whip with a grappling hook. Other weapons include a jetpack with a miniature concussion rocket launcher, rocket dart launchers, grenades, gas pellets, and a pulse cannon. Tools include a lock breaker, battle computer, HUD system, macrobinocular viewplate, gauntlet control panel, and a motion sensor. The antenna on his helmet serves as a radio receiver/transmitter, and is also a targeting computer/rangefinder. His main weapons are an EE-3 carbine blaster rifle and Westar-34 pistols. Boba Fett owns a variety of specially-modified and well-armed starcraft bearing the names Slave I through Slave IV. Despite his weapon-laden suit of armor, Fett is a subtle hunter and relies as much on his cunning and intelligence as on pure muscle and combat skill. Fett is also known to have an R2 astromech droid.

Fett is usually in peak condition (he is strong enough to hold off against massively strong foes such as Bossk), as seen in the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy. In every appearance in the Star Wars universe save Attack of the Clones, his face remains hidden.

Hero or Villain
While he is usually at odds with the other characters in the story (most notably Han Solo), in most stories centered around him, Fett is portrayed as honest and morally driven, as well as ruthless and violent. Boba Fett's real name is Quentin, but Jango gave him the nickname Boba. Throughout many stories (most notably in the story "No Disintegrations, Please", the Galaxy of Fear series, and Tales From the New Republic) that Fett has a soft spot for children. In the aforementioned story, Fett lets a bounty go after facing an entire Imperial garrison to get him when he discovered the man now took care of orphans. He even donated a large sum of money to help him support them. In further examples of this, Fett risked his life to save a group of children in a burning school on Ryloth after being paid to kill a band of slavers (The New Star Wars Sourcebook, Lyn Me's character description), and he spared a Jedi trainee when he learned he was the single parent of a young child. It has been stated that Fett actually donates to various charities and orphanages (most notably in the story Twin Engines of Destruction in which he kills Jodo Kast). In the Mandalorian Wars trilogy, however, Fett denies that anything he does is affected by sentiment; all that matters is the job. He will even occasionally refuse to go after a bounty if he felt it might in some way interfere with his image.

Boba Fett has also performed some more heroic acts in the Expanded Universe, including taking a job to stop a group of pirates from wiping out an entire race for 100 credits (which was all they could afford) and it was hinted at that Fett actually returns their money.
