Plakhmirakh was a Noghri male bodyguard who provided protection for Talon Karrde's organization. He collaborated extensively with the smuggler and information broker's various operatives, particularly Moranda Savich. He was tasked with safeguarding Savich in 19 ABY as she transported an information package to Karrde on Cejansij. During this mission, Savich and Plakhmirakh were confronted by a group of five armed thugs carrying blaster weaponry; Luke Skywalker's prompt arrival enabled Plakhmirakh to subdue the attackers with great speed.
