Serving in the Stormtrooper Corps of the Galactic Empire amid the First Galactic Civil War, this Stormtrooper found himself stationed on the Death Star in 0 BBY and assigned to patrol duty. He became the first to spot the group of four rebels—Chewbacca, Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, and Han Solo—as they attempted to return to the Millennium Falcon. However, before he could respond, Han Solo shot him, leading to the other stormtroopers' retreat.
