Introduction
'Geezer' is the result of a mixture of an experiment gone wrong and a mish mash of Imperial bureaucratic mess-ups.
Background
'Geezer' was originally designated GZR-1138 and was the prototype in a cloning experiment performed on behalf of the Empire by the Kaminoan cloners in the early days of the Empire. What was supposed to be a new generation of super stormtroopers based on the DNA of Jango Fett went terribly wrong, however.
An experiment gone wrong
While excelling physically, GZR-1138 displayed an incredible lack of capacity for learning and an unusually low IQ for a Fett-based clone. He had problems concentrating and was very slow to learn acquire and process tactical information and did actually fall asleep from time to time during briefings. Having failed too many tests, the GZR project was canceled by the Empire. Rather than destroying GZR-1138, the Empire had his memory erased and relocated him to the spice mines Kessel as an inmate. The truth was that the Empire suspected that the Kaminoans had deliberately sabotaged the project, and was now hoping that Imperial scientists would eventually be able to find evidence for this plot by conducting experiences on GZR-1138 when they had he technology for it.
However, GZR - now known as 'Geezer' among his fellow inmates - was unexpectedly released shortly after the destruction of the Death Star for unknown reasons. However mysterious his release might have seemed, it was actually a mere coincidence being caused by a series of bureacratic mess-ups on behalf of the Empire.
Brother Fett
A man with no past and probably no future either, 'Geezer' - now an obese and obnoxious person - wandered the galaxy aimlessly, taking odd jobs at construction sites, quarries and starport docks, as well as working in bars as a bouncer. In one of these bars, he witnessed the legendary bounty hunter, Boba Fett, claim a mark. The kind of work Feet was doing somehow appealed to him. Impressed with the work of Fett, 'Geezer' approached him and asked if Fett could teach him to be a Bounty Hunter. Fett declined, but told his "brother" to look for his inner potential.
That day, 'Geezer' - who was and remains oblivious of his genetic relation to Fett - decided to become a bounty hunter... it just felt right.
Personality
Nothing like his clone "brothers" in the Grand Army of the Republic and subsequently in the legendary stormtrooper corps of the Empire, 'Geezer' has no sense of loyalty and is brash, rude and impolite. His years as an inmate have made him tough and rough-edged. He is not very well formulated and uses several slang expressions associated with the lowest riff raff of the galaxy.
He has a weakness for alcoholic beverages and rare bantha stakes. This, combined with his dislike of physical exercise has made him uncaracteristically obese and sluggish compared to his clone brothers. It is not uncommon to see 'Geezer' passed out, having consumed too many ruby bliels, bantha blasters, or pints of Corellian ale. Sporting a moustache and an eternally greasy mullet, 'Geezer' adheres to the macho-principles he acquired on Kessel, and is known to deliver derogatory rants about females "trying to do a man's job".
Equipment
While considering himself a bounty hunter, 'Geezer' is in reality nothing more than a star-hopper, and his personal belongings are very limited. He owns a few weapons, including a DL-44 which he was given by a Rebel agent as a reward for having helped him do a couple of rather menial jobs. However, most objects that he acquires are sold on to sustain his alcohol consumption. Currently, 'Geezer' is also in the possession of a battered old Scyck starfighter, which he has not even bothered to name. As a reward for another menial unglorious job, 'Geezer' was given a landspeeder and a swoop bike by a junkdealer. While 'Geezer' proudly tells the tales of how the junkdealer was in tears with graditude as he gave him the rewards, the junkdealer was in reality desperate to get rid of them, as the vehicles were so old and battered that nobody wanted to buy them.
Profession and allegiances
Being essentially a spacer dreaming of becoming a bounty hunter, 'Geezer' mainly carries on doing odd jobs, although slightly more interesting than before. He has claimed a couple of bounties, but nothing impressive. Indeed, he is considered somewhat useless by his colleagues and the term "geezer" is slowly gaining use as a term for incompetent bounty hunters.
Soldier for the Empire
Having no sense of loyalty, 'Geezer' does not really care who he works for. Neither do his employers, as long as he is not working for them. He did, however, let a bored Imperial medic persuade him into joining the cause of the Empire, joining their ranks as a loosely affiliated bounty hunter (as loosely affiliated as possible so the Empire will not lose its reputation).
His loose affiliation allows him to take jobs for other employers, much to the relief of the Empire and the despair of whoever is stupid enough to hire him.
Tales of the bounty hunter
He bagged his first bounty on Tansarii Point Station as he killed a member of the Genesis Red gang. It didn't pay much and wasn't all that sensational, but if one asks 'Geezer' himself, the story is bound to be one of glory and heroism.
He will also proudly recount of the time he battled an important crimelord on Tatooine (in reality a petty member of the swoopgang, the Laserflits, who almost succeeded in killing 'Geezer' first), when he heroically defeated a Weequay brawling champion (often forgetting to mention that the Weequay was unarmed while 'Geezer' himself used a rifle), the time when he bagged a bounty on an infamous super-gambler who refused to pay his debts (in reality he was just a small time gambler who owed another smalltime gambler 100 credits), or the time when he took on a famous Rodian bounty hunter to help out a friend of his (in reality a petty thug who had been unfortunate enough as to get in the way of Jabba the Hutt). A favorite story is the tale of when he single-handedly took out a ferocious desert creature who posed a threat to Jabba (that was really just a Jawa who had simply annoyed Jabba).
He also has an arsenal of war stories such as the story of the time when he took on two Rebels at the same time and emerged victorious (what really happened was that he snuck up on two Rebel recruits and shot them in the back) or the story of how he disposed of a high ranking Rebel officer (who was in reality just a lieutenant who was lost in the desert).

- His facial features, and name, are inspired by Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath.
- No timeline has been specified for this character to enable its participation in as many plots as possible.
- As with all Harssk's characters, the backstory of this character is as down-to-earth as possible in an attempt to keep it free of Mary Sue-esque elements.
