(MCP#76/3 (fb) - BTS) - For two years Thaddeus Soul tried again and again to kill Death's Head. After he hunted several animals and people on the planet Yel-Jek he heard that the governor of Yel-Jek hired a bounty hunter to bring him Soul's head. Soul already waited for the poor oaf who was hired and was happy when it was his old foe Death's Head.

(MCP#76/3) - Soul hunted Death's Head through the woods of Yel-Jek and mocked him as often as possible. He really liked the hunt and let Death's Head run to make the hunt more exciting. Soul followed DH's tracks and saw that he carried something heavy. He soon found DH hiding in Stakk water pit and told him to come out. Soul knocked DH to the ground and finally wanted to kill him, but DH's new partner pitched the right sound to kill a Stakk and the dying animal fell on Thaddeus Soul and squashed him.

"Greeny"

He tried to protect the animals of Yel-Jek from Thaddeus Soul and became just another target. Left for dead he hid from Soul and was found by Death's Head and became his partner when "Greeny" told DH as payment how to kill Soul. Death's Head took him with him and they lured Soul to a Stakk water pit. There "Greeny" pitched the right sound to kill a Stakk and the Stakk next to Soul fell on him and Thaddeus Soul was dead.

Stakks

Stakk's were an animal race on Yel-Jek. They were hunted by Thaddeus Soul and protected by people like "Greeny". They lived in herds and possessed very sensitive ear drums. With the right sound a Stakk could be killed. A Stakk stampede nearly trampled Death's Head to death. Later Stakk's were seen at a water pit and one of them squashed Thaddeus Soul when it was killed by a sound "Greeny" made.
