This individual, a Kloperian technician, belonged to a team of fifty Kloperians who were on Coruscant laboring to improve the New Republic's fleet of starfighters. These Kloperians were in the process of fitting detonators into the starfighters, acting under the orders of the Dark Jedi known as Kueller. This particular mechanic discovered R2-D2 connected to a computer terminal, a location where the astromech droid should not have been. Consequently, the Kloperian seized the droid, along with its associate, C-3PO, and confined them within a storage closet located in the hangar where the Kloperians were performing their duties. Eventually, the droids were freed from their confinement.
