Rako Hardeen, also known as the “Marksman of Concord Dawn,” was a human male bounty hunter and marksman from the Mandalorian planet Concord Dawn. In 20 BBY, he was hired to assassinate Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and seemingly succeeded in the Coruscant Underworld. Unbeknownst to Hardeen, he had in fact been hired by the Jedi Order, who faked Kenobi’s death as part of a plan to send him undercover disguised as his own killer to investigate a plot against Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. After the supposed assassination, Hardeen was celebrating at Trueping’s cantina when he was contacted by his mysterious employers, and was subsequently taken captive by Kenobi and Mace Windu. Kenobi, disguised as Hardeen via a facial transformation program and a vocal emulator, subsequently infiltrated a Separatist plot to abduct the Chancellor at the Festival of Light on Naboo.
