Ratch, a Twi'lek of the Rutian variety and identified as male, held the position of captain aboard the salvage freighter known as the Raider. As a scavenger, he was the one who rescued Asajj Ventress from the wreckage of her Ginivex-class fanblade starfighter following her abandonment at the Battle of Sullust. His refusal to transport her to Dathomir resulted in her killing both him and all the members of his crew.
