Wat Tambor was a Skakoan male who was the Foreman of the Techno Union and Executive of Baktoid Armor Workshop. Beginning his career as the Techno Union Representative in the Galactic Senate, Tambor shot up through the ranks of the Union, eventually getting the top job. He agreed to help fund and supply Count Dooku's separatist government, the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and when war broke out between the Separatists and the Galactic Republic, Tambor began devising new ways to gain a technological advantage.

In spite of multiple plots, including sabotage and C-B3 cortosis battle droids, Tambor was never able to make a concerted contribution to the war effort. In the waning stages of the war, Tambor was forced to set up shop on Xagobah, where was assailed by both Republic forces and bounty hunters. Fortunately, he was rescued by General Grievous, and united with the Separatist Council. In 19 BBY, he was called back to his homeworld of Skako, where he was sent on a spiritual journey by the Elders of the Power Mounds. During his journey, he saw his future, and eventually went to Mustafar to meet it. There, he was slain by Darth Vader, along with the other members of the Council, concurrent with the declaration of the New Order.
