Description
Mkkt Bkkt is both literally and metaphorically the slimiest character in the galaxy. No outrage is below him if the right amount of credits is involved. Pimp, dealer, smuggler, assassin, and illegal race operator, he has played many roles in his slippery career. Rumors abound that Bkkt has sold his own bodily secretions as either aphrodisiacs or stimulants to unsuspecting customers.
It is perhaps his opportunistic sense or mutual empathy which has led to Bkkt's affinity for Keith T. Maxwell. The two tend to cross paths in the most unusual of circumstances with Bkkt's shady dealings.
Another rumor which persists about Multipods in general is that they are capable of subdividing or replicating themselves. Although this has never been witnessed or proven, it could offer a plausible explanation and make the occurrence of Mkkt Bkkt in so many different eras and quadrants less than coincidental - He could have self duplicated.
Involvement
Mkkt Bkkt once brought neuro-algae aboard Yrdal Gedal station which made everyone high and in turn caused some panic within the Mido Confederation, until it was checked on by Maxwell.
Mkkt Bkkt was also the former owner of the Kaamo Space Station until it was attacked by Pirates. After Maxwell defeats them, Mkkt Bkkt offers Maxwell Kaamo in exchange for for 30 million credits and 50t of Buskat.
Sometime before the Supernova incident, Mkkt Bkkt had bribed Maissa's security so he could set up shop in their Space Lounge. Keith encounters him there while looking for Moonsprocket and Lampeter at Maissa. Mkkt Bkkt reveals he supplied them with Flabbergasters, and they wouldn't be sober for quite some time. When Maxwell insists he needs them, Mkkt Bkkt directs him to purchase some K'mirkk Toad Mutagen and warns him on its dangerous properties. He remains at the station even after Maxwell's return.
After the Supernova was contained, Maxwell, Moonsprocket and Lampeter returned to Maissa, where Mkkt Bkkt offered them more Flabbergasters.
In the Neox sector, he is founding his new station, the "Mkkt Bkkt Club".
Trivia
- In GoF2 Mkkt has five eyes compared to GoF1, in which he had six.
- Apparently there is a graphical glitch in GoF2 HD on iPads with Retina display, which shows Mkkt Bkkt and his race with no eyes at all. Instead it appears as if the space where their eyes should be had been cut out. Running in 1024x768 mode repairs the issue.
- Mkkt Bkkt had an older brother, Jkkt Bkkt. He was only ever mentioned once, in a blog post on the FISHLABS website.
- He also has another brother, Rkkt Bkkt, who is a second Helper Boss under Ica'Brn
- In Galaxy on Fire 2, Maxwell pronounces his name as Mukit Bukit.
