Horvins was a male trader who on the planet Jakku operated out of Bay Three in Niima Outpost shortly after the military regime First Order's attack on the village Tuanul in 34 ABY. When the scavenger Rey brought the Resistance droid BB-8 to Niima Outpost the following day after encountering the latter in the Jakku desert, she suggested that Horvins may be willing to give the droid a lift offworld. Rey considered Horvins to be a decent person, in contrast to the other thugs on Jakku, though she also warned the droid not to be put off by Horvin's countenance. BB-8, however, decided to stay with Rey until they were forced to flee the First Order with the defected Stormtrooper Finn.
Horvins is mentioned in the adaptations of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, released in 2015. Similar dialogue, without naming the trader, is present in the junior novelization.
