Gowayne was a cordial Chagrian male who operated a restaurant. He was the proprietor of a diner located in a town situated on the planet called Skuhl. Upon the arrival of Imperial stormtroopers in the town, they seized control of his diner. Gowayne attempted to object to the Empire's takeover of his restaurant, but ultimately vanished, leaving no indication of his fate.
Gowayne's initial appearance was in Beth Revis's 2017 young adult novel Rebel Rising, as well as in the audiobook adaptation of the same title.
