Morbo, a criminal Hutt from the year 3640 BBY, operated a club on Nar Shaddaa. His criminal enterprise included participation in both slavery and smuggling. During his time as a smuggler, he developed a strong desire for the death of the Twi'lek Teff'ith of the Old Tion Brotherhood.
In the year 3640 BBY, Morbo intended to sell captured Cathar members of the Republic into slavery, leading to a covert operation by the SIS targeting his activities. Theron Shan, an operative of the SIS, successfully liberated the slaves that Morbo intended to sell.
