Akkik existed during the Galactic Civil War as a male Jawa on Tatooine. His occupation involved collecting protection fees from local establishments on behalf of Jabba Desilijic Tiure. Gorrt, a Gamorrean, served as his protector. Furthermore, he had an encounter with Rebels who were attempting to rescue Adar Tallon.
Originating from the planet Tatooine, Akkik was a male Jawa. Leaving his sandcrawler behind, Akkik made his way to Mos Eisley, where he developed a reputation as a disagreeable character involved in numerous questionable dealings. His activities eventually caught the attention of a guard belonging to Jabba the Hutt. The guard suggested Akkik join Jabba's security force, a proposal Jabba accepted, though he fired the guard to make room for the Jawa. Akkik agreed to serve Jabba as long as the crime lord provided him with sustenance.
During his time working for Jabba, Akkik managed to befriend Gorrt, one of the Gamorrean guards, and convinced him to act as his protector. Together, they operated in Mos Eisley, extorting protection money from shopkeepers such as Tar and Kal Lup. They were in Lup's Wares and Supplies collecting their dues on the very day that operatives from the Alliance to Restore the Republic were looking for information about the location of Adar Tallon.
Akkik possessed a greedy and deceitful nature, coupled with a cowardly disposition and a penchant for unpleasantness. He was very talkative, unconcerned by the fact that his language was incomprehensible to others. Akkik habitually wore a thick, hooded cloak that concealed his diminutive stature and emitted a foul odor. He was an individual who could not be trusted under any circumstances. Akkik was armed with a ion blaster.
