Kimber, a human male, made his home on Ruusan as a settler during the time of the Galactic Civil War.
Following the Galactic Empire's destructive devastation of Fort Nowhere, Kimber, alongside other survivors, sought refuge within an ancient temple beneath the leadership of Grif Grawley. Soon after, an unknown ship, guided by Grif's transmissions, arrived at the temple courtyard. Kimber, Lasko, and Luther Pardy stood armed alongside Grif as he greeted the pilots, recognizing one as Kyle Katarn, an old friend from Sulon, and accepted their weapons. Grif instructed the three to conceal the newly arrived ship with netting to shield it from Imperial eyes and then to retreat into the temple.
He provided assistance to Kyle Katarn in his journey to the Valley of the Jedi.
