Gordo Zek, a male being, resided on Corellia during the era of the Galactic Civil War. Following the Battle of Yavin, Zek was apprehended by Corellian slavers and subsequently enslaved within the Corellian Slaver Bunker situated near Tyrena. In the year 1 ABY, a spacer infiltrated the bunker with the purpose of uncovering evidence of the slaver's activities for the Corellian Security Force. Gordo Zek offered his assistance to the spacer in the mission to locate Neeka Z'all, a young girl who had become separated from her parents, Zorgom and Norith Z'all, during their escape from the bunker. Thanks to Gordo Zek's aid, the spacer successfully rescued Neeka Z'all, and the child was eventually reunited with her parents. Furthermore, the spacer transmitted the slavers' records on the CorSec emergency channels, prompting a swift response from numerous CorSec agents who raided the slaver bunker and liberated all the enslaved individuals.
In the 2003 Star Wars Galaxies video game, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts, Gordo Zek was a non-player character prior to the game's shutdown on December 15, 2011. The character of Gordo Zek was introduced to the game through an update called "Chapter 1: The Corellian Captives," which was released on June 8, 2006.
Given that Gordo Zek utilized the generic "commoner" template for his creation, his visual appearance was randomly selected from a pool of 120 potential looks. This included various species such as Humans, Twi'leks, Zabrak, Bothans, Mon Calamari, Aqualish, Bith, Rodians, and Trandoshans of both genders, as well as male Devaronians, Ishi Tib, Nikto, and Sullustans. However, the dialogue within the quests identified the character as male.
