A human smuggler operated as the captain of the starship Windfall, along with the droid ZOE3. The smuggler was unknowingly Force-sensitive, and was a descendant of Lady Corvax, an ancient resident of the planet Mustafar. Seeking a descendant of Corvax in order to unlock the secrets of her sanctum on Mustafar, the Sith Lord Darth Vader had the Windfall pulled out of hyperspace above the planet and taken to his fortress. Vader discovered that the smuggler was indeed a descendant of Corvax, but the smuggler and ZOE3 escaped imprisonment with the help of the Mustafarian Vylip Foma, who directed them to the priestess of his clan.

Within Corvax's sanctum, the smuggler met the priestess, who revealed that Vader was in search of the Bright Star, a powerful artifact that was the cause of Mustafar's hostile environment. Instructed to help Vader until given the chance to steal the Bright Star, the smuggler assisted in opening Corvax's sanctum. Vader briefly trained the smuggler in using the Force,

Life as a smuggler
During the reign of the Galactic Empire, the human operated as a smuggler with the droid ZOE3. The two both stole the starship Windfall, which they continued to use in their smuggling jobs. The smuggler and ZOE3 visited a number of locations during their time together, and acquired a number of artifacts.

On Jedha, they stole the Hand of Saint Scorpus, only to find that nobody wished to buy the artifact from them due to local beliefs that it was cursed. The smugglers also acquired a supposed Unfyr artifact from a junk peddler.

The smuggler competed in the Vinta Harvest Classic podrace, surprising others due to being a human. However, the smuggler was not very successful, and lost credits as a result. The smuggler and ZOE3 had an incident on Nar Shaddaa, but managed to escape with their lives. They also encountered a jungle rancor on the planet Felucia.

Captured by Vader
As part of one of their jobs, the smuggler and ZOE3 stole a shipment of spice from the Hutt Clan, whose forces pursued them near the Ring of Kafrene. They managed to escape into hyperspace, intending to offload the cargo at Shadow Market. However, they were pulled out of hyperspace by an Imperial interdictor vessel, emerging in the Atravis sector, above the volcanic planet Mustafar.

Powers and abilities
As a descendant of Lady Corvax, the smuggler was unknowingly sensitive to the Force.

The smuggler had skills as a pilot, operating the Windfall alongside ZOE3. While humans were rarely seen operating a podracer, the smuggler managed to do so, though with limited success.

Behind the scenes
The smuggler serves as the player character of Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series, a three-part virtual reality series created by ILMxLAB, and was introduced in the series' first installment, released in 2019. The character was first revealed to be a smuggler at the Vader Immortal panel during Star Wars Celebration Chicago 2019.

Vader Immortal was designed to be an immersive experience, and is played in the first person. As such, the smuggler has no voice lines, and the character's gender is undetermined. The smuggler's name is not given, referred to only as "Captain" by ZOE3. The smuggler was depicted in concept art for Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series – Episode III. However, as the concept art is not accurate to the game itself, it cannot be considered to be a canon depiction of the character.
