Tomarian, a male of the human species, was the proprietor of a theater. He was also the organizer of the yearly Tomarian's Annual Festival of Light Gala. During one of these galas, a criminal crew infiltrated the event, employing gas to incapacitate all attendees. Tomarian was seized as a hostage due to his outstanding debt of credits to Telsla, the crew's ringleader, which he had failed to repay.
