Avril Gresh was a farmer of the Human species (of male gender) who transitioned into the role of acquisitions specialist employed by the Karazak Slavers Cooperative.
Due to a lack of formal education, Gresh started his career laboring on a large agricultural collective situated in the Mid Rim. The agricultural workers in that location experienced severe mistreatment at the hands of the Company's enforcers. Gresh was summoned for disciplinary action by the farm supervisor after he was unable to meet his annual production target. A dispute arose, leading Gresh to murder the supervisor, after which he fled to the Outer Rim to evade legal repercussions. A Karazak slaver discovered Gresh and noticed his inherent leadership capabilities. The slaver presented Gresh with an employment opportunity within the Karazak Cooperative, while simultaneously threatening to expose him if he declined. Gresh consented and took on the role of acquisition specialist.
In the year 6 ABY, Gresh was attempting to accumulate sufficient funds for retirement, with the intention of disappearing from the galaxy's collective memory. He resolved that he was unconcerned about the potential suffering of others stemming from his actions.
