A merchant existed on the world of Tatooine during the year 0 BBY. This individual met the youthful Tusken Raider named Reirin within the urban center of Mos Eisley and subsequently enlisted her's services to procure a crystal from a Jawa clan. The merchant informed Reirin that the crystal could be various hues, such as blue, green, or purple, and assured her that the Jawas would recognize it. They utilized a cloak and hood to mask who they were. In return for the crystal's acquisition, they proposed to Reirin transportation away from Tatooine. Following the crystal's theft, Reirin sensed a bond with the object and resolved to withhold it from the trader, pledging to discover an alternative means of leaving the planet.
