Background
Anton Heiskanen used to be part of a Smuggling a group, but things went south during a heist. A Rodian, named Uuklo, betrayed the group to get himself pardoned.
Of the 5 other members of the group, 2 were killed in the initial engagement with law enforcement, 1 was captured, and the fates of the other 2 are unknown.
As soon as Uuklo was aware Anton had escaped, a bounty was put on his head for 40,000 credits.
Motivation
Credits: The Smuggler just wants to get paid. Smuggling is a career after all, and no one works for free. They may be a very successful Smuggler, but are always greedy for more credits. Or maybe they're just scraping by and reliant on payment for each job before they can repair their ship, feed their crew, and move on to the next contract. Perhaps they want what they're owed, fair and square, or maybe dreams of winning big in a sabacc game. In any case, they are in it for the money. Smuggling can be very lucrative if they go about it the right way and have luck on their side. There is always the chance, particularly in illegal dealings, that the employer won’t want to pay out. In such cases, the Smuggler with the Credits Motivation does everything they can to claim their due.
