Gyran was a former royal bodyguard to one of the spice lords of Sevarcos II until Prince Xizor "purchased" his services while on a business trip. After visiting several new worlds while working for Black Sun, he developed a mild form of agoraphobia, fear of wide open places. He owned a ship, the Arc Razor, which served as his personal means of transportation.
He and his team were responsible for tracking down the Barani List to the planet Sedri.
