Dahal, a petty criminal, eked out a living on Nar Shaddaa in the era of the Yuuzhan Vong War. In the year 25 ABY, he attempted to guide a party of inexperienced Jedi students through the underbelly of the city, during which he pilfered Jacen Solo's purse containing his credits. Subsequently, Solo and Lowbacca cornered him, while Finn Galfridian trailed them as they sought intelligence pertaining to Yuuzhan Vong operatives.
Subsequently, Dahal was observed in the company of Spraug and Dray. Dray, detecting Finn Galfridian's imminent return to Nar Shaddaa, instructed Dahal and Spraug to procure fresh attire for him.
