Rorvek, a male Wookiee, resided within the Cularin system as the Galactic Republic neared its end, during its final years. He was employed by the Oblee crime lord [Nirama]'s](/article/nirama) organization. Later, Rorvek departed Nirama's service and, by the time the Clone Wars erupted, he had joined the Believers, a Sith cult operating within the Cularin system. As part of a Believers team, Rorvek was sent to the Cularin asteroid belt by Len Markus with orders to stop the Heroes of Cularin from obliterating three crystal shards. These shards were channeling energy to the Darkstaff, a Sith artifact in Markus's possession.
