Gorman Vandrayk

Perero was an aging Arkanian mechanic who lived in the Lower City of Taris. Most of his associates knew him simply as The Camper because he lived in a dump there, where he scavenged parts and supplies. Though his mind was slowly slipping away, he was still a master mechanic. Because of the state of his mind, he made an excellent no-questions-asked contact for people seeking help with "less than legal" needs.

Around 3,964 BBY, he and his friend Jarael were caught up in the attempted arrest of Zayne Carrick and Marn "Gryph" Hierogryph. Perero and Gryph were previously acquainted through their work together to smuggle the fugitive Zovius Mendu to Corellia a few months before Gryph was captured by Zayne. Perero successfuly converted an an old escape pod into a shipping conatiner, in which Mendu was hidden. Therefore, Gryph decided to call on Perero for help in his plan to get off Taris. Initially, Perero was angry at Gryph for his nonpayment for the Mendu job and refused to help him. However, when an arrest squad led by Constable Sowrs and Jedi Master Lucien Draay arrived, Perero was forced to make a decision. He ultimately decided to take them inside his modified starship, the Last Resort, and attempted to leave the planet.

Behind the scenes
Though both Perero and his companion Jarael are Arkanians, this causes some problems as Arkanians are described in canon sources as having "solid white eyes and clawed, four-fingered hands" whereas both Perero and Jarael are clearly seen to have both pupils as well as five, regular fingers.
