Biography
Hobin Carsamba was an alien scavenger who made a living on the desert planet of Jakku. Around thirty years after the Battle of Endor, Carsamba was in Niima Outpost, a trade outpost run by the Crolute junk dealer Unkar Plutt on Jakku. The scavenger had salvaged junk to trade with Plutt and took the position of another humanoid scavenger in the line to deal with the Crolute behind the pet seller and storyteller Bobbajo while the scavenger Rey dealt with Plutt.

Carsamba was in Niima again the next day, and while heading away from Plutt's central shop, passed Rey as she arrived with the astromech droid BB-8 on her speeder. Carsamba was still present later that day when Niima was attacked by the forces of the First Order, who were searching for BB-8. Rey, BB-8 and the First Order deserter Finn fled past Carsamba through a number of Niima's marquees while trying to escape from stormtroopers that were chasing them.

Equipment
While in Niima, Carsamba wore brown clothing and a helmet and carried a large back-mounted yellow cylinder.
