Biography
Dud Bolt was a member of the Vulptereen race of the planet Vulpter. He was also an accomplished podracer of some reknown and participated in many podrace tournaments, including the Boonta Eve Classic. Dud Bolt piloted the Vulptereen 327 podracer.

Although being a podracer was Dud Bolt's public persona, he was also a hired assassin, who had been working with a Dug named Sebulba. Sebulba had earned himself a nasty reputation on the racing circuit, so he hired Bolt to work as his bodyguard.
