Dorn, a youthful Bothan residing in Mos Espa, shared a friendship with the youthful Anakin Skywalker. He found himself enslaved by Jabba the Hutt, who was preparing him for a role as a secret agent.
Upon discovering that Ghostling children had been kidnapped by his adversary Gardulla, Jabba tasked Dorn with penetrating Gardulla's residence to find their location. Despite almost being apprehended while attempting to sabotage both Hutts and facilitate the escape of the other children, he ultimately reached Bantha Rock without harm. Together with the other enslaved individuals, he embarked on Rakir Banai's vessel and departed from the star system.
