Querit was a Human male senator of the Galactic Republic during the Cold War. He had a daughter, Ona Querit, who was seduced by the Rattataki criminal Kaliyo Djannis; Ona ran away from Coruscant with Djannis, and Querit believed her to have been kidnapped, though he did not cut off her access to her accounts. Djannis eventually left the senator's daughter on Ylesia, breaking her heart and leading her to become a bounty hunter.
