The Steward served as the chief custodian of the treasure repositories belonging to Xim the Despot. These vaults were situated on the planet Dellalt, during the year 1 BBY.
A man of considerable height and imposing build, the Steward possessed a thick mane of white hair, complemented by an equally white, forked beard. His manner of speech was characterized by a jovial and pleasant tone. He held the esteemed position of one of the Survivors, an elite group tasked with safeguarding Xim's treasure at any expense. Upon the treasure's location being exposed, he commanded the Mission Commander to activate the Guardian Corps, with the intention of wiping out J'uoch's mining camp, under the assumption that the crew and passengers of the Millennium Falcon had already perished. As the recovery mission neared its conclusion and the vault entrances were compromised, Gallandro fatally shot the Steward as he desperately tried to defend the treasure until his last breath. Similar to all Survivors, he underwent hypno-imprinting in his youth.
