Parek, an alien of the male variety, belonged to the Gray Griffins. This scouting squad functioned as part of the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War.
Following an agreement between the Alliance and the Radell Mining Corporation, Parek and his Gray Griffins squad were deployed to the Elrood sector to assist RMC. Nevertheless, while investigating the recently discovered planet named Alluuvia, The Scourge captured the Griffins. This group of pirates was active in that area. Subsequently, The Scourge set Parek adrift in an escape pod within the Elrood system, tasking him with delivering a ransom request to RMC. The demand was for 250,000 credits in exchange for his team's freedom. To rescue the Gray Griffins, the Rebel Alliance sent a team of operatives. In the city of Elrooden on the planet Elrood, the RMC executive Jameth Todkal introduced Parek to this rescue team, and the alien recounted the circumstances of the Griffins' capture.
