A quiet Human male hailing from the planet Glova, Jek Pugilio fought for the Rebel Alliance throughout the Galactic Civil War. When stationed at Echo Base located on the snowy world of Hoth, General Carlist Rieekan requested that Pugilio join Rogue Group as the gunner for Tenk Lenso, because Lenso's post-traumatic stress made it impossible for him to serve as his own gunner. As Rogue Eleven, the pair participated in the Battle of Hoth, but their snowspeeder was brought down by the Empire's Blizzard Force of AT-AT walkers. Tragically, both were among the initial pilot casualties of the battle, being killed in action.
During the Battle of Hoth, the twelve airspeeders of Rogue Group, with Pugilio as a gunner, launch an attack.
Pugilio's helmet is a standard white one with blue rebel logos, yet it features a black visor, unlike the orange visors seen on other pilots with similar helmets during the Battle of Yavin.
