Bok Askol was a Pacithhip female born on Shimia around 56 BBY. Askol worked as a podracer engineer and had followed the dream of becoming an expert mechanic in the hopes of joining a podracing crew. Askol was in the spaceport of Mos Espa on the planet Tatooine to attend the Boonta Eve Classic podrace in the year 32 BBY.
Prior to the race, the Pacithhip spent time in the podracer hangar of the Mos Espa Grand Arena, where Askol spoke with a Quarren next to the podracer of the Nosaurian Clegg Holdfast. Askol then viewed the race itself from the private box of the Toydarian junk dealer Watto in the arena.
During the First Order occupation of the planet Batuu in 34 ABY, Askol was 90 years old. At this time, the pirate Hondo Ohnaka sent several stolen identity profiles, including a profile of Askol, to the datapads of several individuals in Black Spire Outpost on Batuu. The individuals were preparing to carry out a heist for Ohnaka Transport Solutions, and Ohnaka wished to test if they could remember information concerning a potential cover identity, quizzing them on details from each of the profiles.
The Pacithhip wore a set of green overalls during their time on Tatooine.
Bok Askol first appeared, albeit unnamed, in the 1999 prequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. The character was first named in the new Star Wars canon in the 2017 reference book Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia. The name originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was first used on a card in the 2001 Theed Palace Limited expansion set of the Star Wars Customizable Card Game.
