Ziro Desilijic Tiure, better known as Ziro the Hutt, was a flamboyant Hutt crime lord who held the title Master of the Hutt Clan and controlled seven star systems during the decline of the Galactic Republic. A native of Sleheyron, he settled on Coruscant and ran his criminal organization from a nightclub there.
During the Clone Wars, Ziro conspired with the Separatist leader Count Dooku to have his great-nephew Rotta abducted, a plot exposed by Senator Padme Amidala. Imprisoned and later broken out by the bounty hunter Cad Bane, Ziro was ultimately murdered by his one-time lover, the singer Sy Snootles, who was hired by Jabba to recover the Hutt Council's records.
