Prior to 9 BBY, Gido was one of the first prospectors on Koboh looking for priorite, though soon gave up after a lack of success owing to his absence of knowledge in the field and getting sunburn on his gastro-dermis. Gido and Gulu met while both making fun at their fellow prospectors, specifically Rumsy Forlo whom Gulu nicknamed 'Clumsy Rumsy' much to the delight of Gido. The pair started dating because they both disliked each other less than the rest of the prospectors.
Gido was a Trodatome male
Gido thought about his early days on Koboh frequently, referring to them as the good old days. When he and Gulu first settled in Rambler's Reach Outpost, he believed life was better then as the Outpost was mainly empty and there was nobody around to bother them. He also attributed the changes to the opening of Pyloon's Saloon, though he preferred the previous owner Abel Drongite to eventual proprietor Greez Dritus. He recalled that Drongite would let customers go hundreds of cycles without settling their tabs and allow patrons to sleep on the floor if necessary. Gido begrudgingly accepted that change was the way of the galaxy, and that the only constant was time.
He would regularly reminisce on what he had seen in the Outpost since he arrived. He remembered the first prospectors that arrived as well as the heatwave that melted his membrane and the aphren swarm that are the town's food supply. He believed he and Gido were the last of an old breed following Drongite's death at the hands of the Bedlam Raiders prior to 9 BBY.
When Gido retorted that he lacked courage, the Trodatome reminded him of the time he threw a shiverpede out of their home to prove his worth. Gido then reminded him that it was already dead, and of the fact that he did not have hands as he simply kicked the creature out the door.
In 9 BBY they met the Jedi Knight Cal Kestis and the droid BD-1 outside Pyloon's. During the Jedi's time in the Outpost, they regaled him with their tales of derision regarding their fellow townsfolk. The pair were worried about the locals remaining cowardly, as they worried this attitude would lead to their demise and leave no one left for the pair to mock.
Being one of the original settlers in the Outpost, Gido hated what the Bedlam Raiders had done to the area, but believed the Raiders raider wouldn't dare bother him or Gulu. He was against the presence of the Empire on the planet, bemoaning that the occupation was getting his mucus in a knot . He agreed with Gulu's suggestion that someone should start a town collective against the Empire following their increased presence on the planet and the appearance of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer above the planet. He believed the collective would need a catchy name and suggested the 'Good Guy Gang' but he quickly rescinded the idea after saying it out loud. He backed down from the idea of a collective after realizing it would require more effort than he was prepared to offer.
Despite the changes and Imperial occupation of Koboh, he admitted that he was too old and stuck in his ways to leave the planet.
Gido was often grumpy, and disliked most other beings. Together with Gulu, he spent much of his time complaining and gossiping about other people. He mocked Tulakt's fortune telling abilities, and stated that Wini Eres was living proof that credit couldn't buy everything as he said she had no friends. He once asked a protocol droid to calculate the chances of Moran getting out of bankruptcy, but said the droid exploded whilst calculating. He also dismissed Pili Walde as a weirdo for talking to her plants, saying the only thing she had in common with her plants is that they both belong in the dirt.
Whilst Gido was averse to forming friendships with most, he did attempt to make some friends during his time in the Outpost, but without any real luck. He recalled how Vork died as a result of a runaway landspeeder, Drillo died trying to ride a gorocco and Twakuhka was incinerated juggling thermal detonators, though Pi'tar left because he got a job off-world, however, he died soon after when his shuttle crashed.
Gido appeared in the 2023 video game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
