Norym Kim was a pirate from Myke who had taken control of a whole sector close to Imperial territory by overcoming competing pirate groups.
Kim utilized the wealth generated from his controlled sector to financially back Carnor Jax's scheme to undermine Palpatine's clone production. Following the Emperor's demise, Kim was presented with a position on Jax's Interim Ruling Council. His near-Human status allowed him to gain acceptance, even among staunch Humanocentrists.
Kim, an extremely magnetic leader and skilled in political maneuvering behind the scenes, rose to the position of council leader after the passing of Burr Nolyds. Aware that the council's leader would inevitably become the target of the ongoing assassinations targeting council members, Norym cleverly persuaded the others to appoint Xandel Carivus, a remarkably bureaucratic individual, as the new leader.
However, this strategy yielded unexpected negative results when Carivus, upon assuming leadership, banished and incarcerated the council's non-human members. After Carivus's passing, Kim was apprehended and placed in the New Republic's detention.
