Charn Roondha, an Ithorian, functioned as a tax and protection money collector for Jabba Desilijic Tiure, operating across numerous Outer Rim worlds. The Gran named Ree-Yees plotted to usurp his position in 4 ABY. During his tenure as the palace's bookkeeper, the Twi'lek Silvan Kaan orchestrated a scheme where the translator droid Eightyem conveyed to Roondha that Jabba had lost confidence in him because the credits he was collecting had decreased. This news prompted Roondha to confront Yees, but Jabba intervened, ordering him to spare the Gran. Subsequently, Kaan used Eightyem again to spread a false rumor that Jabba intended to transfer Roondha's responsibilities on Mandalore to Yees. In response, Roondha proposed assassinating Jabba. Eightyem and Kaan then devised a plan for the droid to acquire a WESTAR-35 blaster pistol from the palace armory, since only Jabba's trusted individuals or guards were permitted to possess weapons within the palace, so that Roondha could eliminate Jabba without getting close.
Following Eightyem's delivery of the weapon to Kaan, who then passed it on to Roondha, the Ithorian attempted to assassinate Jabba. However, the attempt was foiled by the bounty hunter Bane Malar. Subsequently, Roondha was brought before Jabba, who promised a swift death in exchange for the identity of the person who provided the blaster. Roondha identified Kaan in Ithorese, but Eightyem intentionally mistranslated, claiming Roondha preferred a horrible death to betraying a confidence. The Ithorian then accused Eightyem, but the droid again misrepresented his words, informing Jabba that Roondha had insulted the Hutt's mother. Enraged, Jabba sentenced Roondha to be devoured by the sarlacc in the Great Pit of Carkoon.
