Janus, a human male, resided on the desert planet of Tatooine during the era of the Galactic Civil War. It was in the year 1 ABY that he held the position of warehouse manager at Tosche Station. At one juncture, he engaged in trade, purchasing items from the Jawa traders aboard Sand Crawler 345. While on a mission to acquire power converters, his speeder bike suffered a breakdown within the harsh desert landscape. Cuan Talon, his supervisor, enlisted the aid of a spacer to execute a rescue operation, but Janus met his death at the hands of a band of Desert Demons.
The character of Janus appeared as a non-player character within the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies.
