Bounty Hunter Code

The Code of the Bounty Hunter, widely attributed to Boba Fett, perhaps the most famous of that profession in an age, is more of an ideal than a set of precepts closely adhered to by its proponents. Doubtless this is due in large part to the fact that, unlike organized groups such as The Jedi Order and The Order of the Sith, bounty hunters are not a singular group, but a collection of individuals, distrustful of their peers, and having no interest in any sort of collective goal. Nevertheless, this set of maxims has entered popular usage in the profession, and the best in the field are said to keep them in mind at all times.
Trust no one, but use everyone. A bounty hunter must always be ready to go anywhere and face any danger. No friends, no enemies. Only allies and adversaries. Always be polite to a client. A bounty hunter never complains. The bounty hunter is free of attachments. Life feeds on death. Vary your routine. Patterns are traps. Never call attention to yourself. Say no more than necessary. Always be polite. Especially to your enemies. He who hires my hand, hires my whole self. Do that which you fear most, and you will find the courage you seek. Imagination is a warrior’s most important weapon. Never get distracted by the big picture—it’s the little things that count. Never tell the whole truth in a trade. A favor is an investment. Money is power. Watch out for things that go too well. If you must die, do so with valor.
