Formerly an entrepreneur, Tikkes left the business world in favor of the political arena, where he found he could make a much more comfortable living. His suckered hands dug deeply into pools of corruption and graft. He turned on his fellow businessbeings, siphoning profits into his own political campaign. When his partners found this out, they attempted to kill him by hiring bounty hunter Aurra Sing. The Jedi were able to save Tikkes' life.
