Szingo, the Scholar, was affiliated with the Sanyassan Marauders and made his home in the Marauder's Stronghold located on Endor, a forest moon. He harbored intense animosity towards Charal, a Nightsister who was allied with King Terak.
During the era of the Galactic Civil War, Szingo compensated a certain person with 75 credits to eliminate three pirates along with their captain, all so he could acquire a disintegration weapon. Shortly thereafter, he learned that Charal had dispatched Marauders under her authority to plunder the pirates' wrecked vessel, thus preventing Szingo from recovering any additional items. This infuriated Szingo, who then instructed the aforementioned person to assassinate the Marauders responsible for this action. After the task was completed, he paid the person 150 credits as a reward. However, Charal managed to persuade King Terak of her innocence in the matter, leading Szingo to employ the person for a final assignment. This time, the task involved killing an Arachne that had been assaulting the Marauders' outposts, a gesture intended to seek forgiveness. Upon successful completion, Szingo gave the person 350 credits as payment.
