Background: A masculine 8D-series smelter droid manufactured by Roche Hive, 8D8 was originally programmed to perform simple tasks in ore-extraction facilities. However, he was lobotomized and reprogrammed to serve in the droid torture chamber in Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure’s palace on the planet Tatooine. He became devoted to EV-9D9, a feminine EV-series supervisor droid that served as chief of Cyborg Operations, and assisted her in terrorizing the palace’s droid pool to ensure they knew their place.
In the year 0 BBY 8D8 was torturing a power droid while EV-9D9 spoke to the Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk regarding the whereabouts of 261, a rogue Imperial astromech droid that had briefly been part of the palace’s droid pool before escaping. After the Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker gifted Jabba R2-D2 and C-3PO in 4 ABY, shortly before the Battle of Endor, 8D8 was torturing a GNK-series power droid while EV-9D9 assigned the new acquisitions positions in the droid pool.
When the bounty hunter Boba Fett assassinated Bib Fortuna he made 8D8 his majordomo while he searched for a protocol droid to fill the position.
