Waz-alem Amir was a Cerean male, as defined by gender, and he was an employee of Culpharm on the planet of Cularin. His employment took place near the end of the Galactic Republic.
On the planet Cularin, Amir held the position of biochemist at Culpharm, a company focused on pharmaceuticals. From his home laboratory, situated on the outskirts of Hedrett, he conducted research for the company. Furthermore, he engaged the services of Ta'Mara, a Tarasin, as a cleaning person.
Around 32 BBY, Amir initiated a study on a plant rumored to possess medicinal qualities. Following an examination within his private lab, he desired to analyze the specimen utilizing specialized tools located within the Culpharm Central Laboratory. Consequently, he contacted Culpharm Security to arrange its transportation. A Human and a Wookiee, both clad in Culpharm Security attire, arrived at his residence and took possession of the sample. However, these individuals were actually operatives from Biotherapy, Culpharm's competitor, seeking to uncover Amir's research. Shortly after, Blut and Mien, two authentic Culpharm Security officers, arrived, at which point Amir conveyed that the samples were already taken.
To probe the vanishing of the samples, Culpharm enlisted the Heroes of Cularin. They made their way to Amir's residence, where they proceeded to inquire about the details surrounding the sample's disappearance.
