The Storyteller, a male Tusken Raider Storyteller, as defined by gender within the Star Wars universe, resided in the Sand People's enclave near Anchorhead on the planet Tatooine during the era known as the Jedi Civil War. Distinctively, his attire was predominantly white, an uncommon sight among the Sand People. He encountered Revan and shared with him the historical narrative of his people.
During the year 3956 BBY, Revan, accompanied by the crew of the Ebon Hawk, infiltrated the Sand People's enclave and successfully negotiated an agreement with their Chieftain. In the course of their discussion, Revan requested that the Chieftain recount the history of their tribe. However, the Chieftain declined, explaining that only the Storyteller possessed the authority to narrate their history, and that only warriors were deemed worthy to hear it. After the Jedi successfully vanquished a Krayt dragon and presented its pearl to the Chieftain as evidence of their feat, Revan was deemed worthy to hear the tribe's history, but was warned that any misrepresentation of it would be considered a blasphemous act punishable by death.
Subsequently, Revan met with the Storyteller, who commenced the telling of his people's history, with HK-47 providing translation. The Storyteller revealed that Tatooine had once been a vibrant, verdant world, but with the arrival of the Rakata and their Infinite Empire, his people were subjugated, and many were abducted. However, following a plague that afflicted the Rakata, the Sand People revolted against their oppressors. In retaliation, the Rakata subjected Tatooine to bombardment, forcing the Sand People to seek refuge in caves. Once the bombardment ceased, the Sand People emerged to discover that the Rakata had departed, and Tatooine had been transformed into a desert.
Subsequently, the Sand People adopted a nomadic lifestyle, and new outsiders arrived to extract ores from Tatooine's soil. The Tusken Raiders, mindful of the atrocities committed by the Infinite Empire, initiated attacks on these new "invaders".
In Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, if the player has already completed the quest involving the moisture vaporators, they have the option to present a dragon pearl from a krayt dragon to the chieftain, which will then cause The Storyteller to appear. However, the player can only engage in conversation with the Storyteller if HK-47 is present as a companion. During their conversation, if the player disregards HK-47's warnings and attempts to dispute the Storyteller's narrative, they will be perceived as committing blasphemy, resulting in the entire tribe becoming hostile.
