Grendu, operating out of the Tarsunt system, worked as an antiquities dealer, and was a Bothan.
One instance of Grendu's illicit activity involved the sale of a rancor to an unidentified buyer, which involved the illegal importation of the beast. He contracted a notorious trader for transport from the Tarsunt system. The rancor, however, caused the death of Grizzid and his entire crew, preventing the delivery to its intended recipient. The vessel subsequently crashed on Tatooine, later falling into the hands of Jabba the Hutt.
The name "Grendu" is frequently used by Bothan males, and it translates to "hard-working" or "industrious."
