Jenkes was a lieutenant with the Imperial Security Bureau on Lothal. A former owner of a gladiator arena on Nyriaan, Jenkes managed to kill his superior, Lieutenant Herdringer, as if by accident, so he could lead the ISB forces on Lothal and run an illegal "Gladiator Night." His schemes, however, were exposed by the bounty hunter Bossk and the street urchin Ezra Bridger. As punishment for his crimes, Jenkes was executed by the Imperial authorities on Lothal who subsequently handed his remains to Bossk.

Biography
Around the fifth year of Emperor Palpatine's reign, Jenkes managed a gladiator arena on the planet of Nyriaan. By way of gladiator fights, he was acquainted with a Dug bookmaker Gronson "Shifty" Takkaro. Shortly thereafter, however, Jenkes joined the Galactic Empire and became an agent of the Imperial Security Bureau, or ISB for short. Some nine years later, Jenkes was transferred to the Outer Rim planet of Lothal, where he served under the order of ISB Lieutenant Herdringer. Jenkes managed to have his superior killed by pushing him in front of a speeder bus and making it look like an accident.

Despite the law enforcement duties of the ISB, Jenkes teamed up with "Shifty" Takkaro to arrange an illegal event known as "Gladiator Night", going under the title "the Commissioner." However, the sudden arrival of the Trandoshan bounty hunter named Bossk threatened his lucrative plans. Indeed, the Imperial senator Hack Fenlon had placed a bounty on Takkaro's head, which Bossk sought to collect.

In order to prevent his criminal dealings from coming out, Jenkes hired the Duros assassin Angrigo and the Kratchell twins to kill Bossk. His activities were ultimately exposed by Bossk, to whom he had pretended to be Lieutenant Herdringer, aided by the young Lothal resident Ezra Bridger. After Bossk revealed to Commandant Cumberlayne Aresko and Taskmaster Myles Grint of the local Imperial Academy, the two Imperial officers guaranteed him that he would "never hear of [Jenkes] again." Later, Bossk received a long plastoid box containing the remains of Jenkes, who had presumably been executed for his crimes against the Empire.
