A slavemaster of Human male descent worked for Governor Koong in the Tawntoom Province of Roon, a planet, in 15 BBY. During that year, he was in charge of a galley packed with slaves, compelling them to row over the Roon Sea to Koong Island. However, under the cover of darkness, the astromech droid R2-D2 secretly boarded the vessel and set the prisoners free. The slavedriver was subdued amidst the large-scale breakout that followed.
