The Lobber, a moniker he himself chose, referred to a Devaronian male criminal existing during the time of the Republic Era. He, together with Ghor and Wungo, tried to hijack the Regal Voyager transport, specifically the Regal Zephyr, for one of the pirate factions within The Slice, despite their inability to decide which one. However, their scheme was thwarted by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi. As a result, the three would-be hijackers were compelled to leave at Randon, where they secretly boarded a freighter that was subsequently stolen by Zilastra, the leader of the Riftwalkers pirate group. Zilastra reluctantly incorporated them into the Riftwalkers, assigning them insignificant duties and intending for them to perish during her attack against the Jedi High Council members on the planet Kwenn. Jinn and Kenobi encountered The Lobber and his associates again on Zilastra's flagship, the Randomizer, where they ultimately aided the Jedi in seizing control of the vessel. Subsequently, Jinn and Kenobi presented the trio with an opportunity to work for Galactic City Recovery on Coruscant, where they could reclaim starships for a worthwhile purpose.
