A male human pilot was present on the planet Tamsye Prime working transport at the time of the Imperial attack on the planet. The man had already setup contacts to escape and thus had some semblance of a plan. Although he was unable to steal any Imperial ships, Jyn Erso, a member of the Partisans that the Empire was hoping to destroy, grabbed him to pilot Reece Tallent's starship. Erso was able to use forged Imperial codes to ensure that they escaped. Afterward, he expressed that they should have saved more during their escape. Although Erso said that there had not been enough time, the man sullenly sat alone for the flight, regretting his actions and also being devastated at the loss of everyone and everything he had known. Erso then told him they needed to abandon the ship, and the pilot told her he knew some junkers. Upon selling the ship, they parted ways.
The pilot appears in Beth Revis' 2017 novel Rebel Rising.
