Lotho Pelhane was a male Human living on the planet of Tatooine. His life spanned the decline of the Galactic Republic and the emergence of the Galactic Empire.
For a period of twenty years, Pelhane was employed as a farmhand on Orrin Gault's moisture farm. After this, he established his own farm. He was the father of Tyla, who eventually married Tellico Bezzard, another moisture farmer in the area. Due to the constant threat of Tusken Raiders, Gault established the Settlers' Call, a mutual defense fund where members contributed and received weapons and vehicles for protection. Pelhane opted not to participate in this fund. By 19 BBY, Gault faced financial difficulties and began using the Settlers' Call Fund to settle his personal debts. To attract more members, Gault and his offspring disguised themselves as Tuskens and attacked those who had not joined. One such assault resulted in Pelhane being severely injured, forcing him to live with his daughter and son-in-law during his recovery. Consequently, the Bezzards joined the Settlers' Call because of the attack inflicted on Pelhane. However, several weeks later, their farm was attacked. Despite alerting the other settlers, Pelhane met his end at the hands of the Tusken A'Yark before assistance arrived.
