Gorrt, a Gamorrean of significant strength, functioned as the personal protector for Akkik, a Jawa. Together, they were employed by Jabba the Hutt to gather payments for protection.
Born on the planet Gamorr, Gorrt ultimately found himself working for Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine. Initially, his value as an enforcer wasn't fully recognized within Jabba's Palace. However, after resolving a situation with a recalcitrant shopkeeper, he earned a permanent assignment in Mos Eisley.
Gorrt formed a bond with Akkik, another operative of Jabba's who was a Jawa, and effectively became his guardian. The two collaborated in Mos Eisley, collecting protection fees on Jabba's behalf. On the day that representatives from the Alliance to Restore the Republic were questioning Tar and Kal Lup about the location of Adar Tallon, they were present in Lup's Wares and Supplies.
