A male merchant named Horvins conducted business on the world of Jakku, running his operations from Bay Three within Niima Outpost. This was not long after the First Order's assault on the settlement of Tuanul, an event that occurred in 34 ABY. The scavenger Rey, upon bringing the Resistance droid BB-8 to Niima Outpost the day after meeting the droid in Jakku's wastes, proposed that Horvins might be amenable to providing transport off-planet for BB-8. Rey thought of Horvins as a good person, especially when compared to the other criminals on Jakku, but she did caution BB-8 to not be alarmed by Horvin's appearance. BB-8, nevertheless, chose to remain with Rey until they had to escape the First Order alongside the runaway Stormtrooper Finn.
Horvins is referenced in the adaptations of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, which came out in 2015. A comparable exchange, though without specifying the trader's name, appears in the junior novelization.
