Var Narek was a male Human originating from the Outer Rim planet known as Ord Radama. He inherited his father's resentment towards Ellor Orgraal, the planet's governor, which subsequently broadened to encompass the entire Galactic Empire.
Eventually, Narek enlisted in the Rebel Alliance and was stationed at the Arda I Rebel base, functioning as a field assistant under Setenna Hase, a key figure in establishing the Arda cell. He rose to the position of Lieutenant. However, the death of his brother, Aleos, along with Aleos's family during a clash between Rebel and Imperial troops, prompted Narek to believe that ending the Galactic Civil War was paramount, regardless of whether the Galactic Empire prevailed.
Narek reached out to an operative of the Imperial Intelligence agency, specifically a member, and divulged the whereabouts of the Arda base. Following the Imperial forces' successful expulsion of the rebels from Arda I, Narek accompanied the surviving rebels to Jagomir, where his betrayal was uncovered. Despite this, Narek managed to evade capture and taking Hase prisoner. He then absconded to his homeworld.
