Biography
At some point before 0 ABY this Troukree arrived to Poln Major together with other refugees from his homeworld. While they were fleeing from Warlord Nuso Esva their leader, Vaantaar, also acted as an agent of Senior Captain Thrawn. On Poln Major this Troukree accompanied his leader to help the Hand of Judgment to protect Governor Bidor Ferrouz against assassination attempts organized by Esvas troops. In the basement of the Whistling Wind tapcafe, Joak Quiller taught basic stormtrooper battle tactics to their Troukree allies, among who this Troukree was. During the second attack against their sanctuary this Troukree sacrificed his life to shield Daric LaRone from the fire of an E-Web heavy repeating blaster with his own body. His sacrifice deeply touched the stormtroopers, as they had not expected an alien to risk his life to protect a human, and later contributed to their decision to accept Thrawn's offer to join his shadow Empire to train a new strain of 501st legionaries.
