Beilert Valance, also known as Valance the Hunter, was a former Stormtrooper who was rebuilt as a cyborg and went into business for himself as a bounty hunter.

In previous classic Marvel comics stories, his hatred of droids saw him go up against Luke Skywalker, who he regarded as a droid lover. However, he switched sides as a result of their conflict and sacrificed himself to prevent Vader from learning Skywalker's identity.
