Bolpuhr served as Leia Organa Solo's Noghri protector at the start of the Yuuzhan Vong War. This role was granted as repayment for Leia and her brother, Luke Skywalker's, assistance in the restoration of the Noghri's home planet, Honoghr, following its subjugation by the Galactic Empire. Bolpuhr went with Leia on her assignment to parley with Nom Anor. During the Battle of Dantooine, he rescued Leia Organa Solo by fatally stabbing a Yuuzhan Vong warrior in the sternum with a knife. Despite this, the same warrior swiftly killed him, inflicting severe wounds to his chest and neck. Leia was deeply disturbed by his demise, as Noghri were known for their resilience. He was subsequently succeeded by Olmahk and Basbakhan.
