Baldwin, a Human male smuggler, made his living during the Galactic Civil War by working from Nym's Stronghold.
Before its shutdown on December 15, 2011, Baldwin existed as a non-player character within the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies. This game was a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game created by Sony Online Entertainment and brought to the public by LucasArts. Baldwin's inclusion in the game occurred with the "Chapter 3" update, which launched on September 27, 2006, and brought smuggling missions to the game.
