Ak-Buz was a Weequay of the male persuasion, serving as the captain of Jabba Desilijic Tiure's sail barge, known as the Khetanna. Dannik Jerriko committed an act of murder against him, and his deceased form was discovered by Porcellus, the palace's culinary expert. Gartogg, a Gamorrean, observed Porcellus positioned above the corpse of Ak-Buz, and was informed that the Weequay had merely dozed off. Subsequently, Porcellus concealed the cadaver within a refuse pile. Barada later came across the body.
