Biran Redben was a human male criminal[1] who worked in a gang as a thief[2] during the New Republic Era. At some point, he was arrested on charges of medical malpractice and was sentenced to serve fifty years on Tamazall for his crimes.[1] Around 9 ABY,[3] he and a group of compatriots ambushed the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin on Tatooine. Their goal was to capture Djarin's infant companion Grogu, a powerful Force-sensitive child. Although Redben's crew were successfully able to surprise the Mandalorian, they were ultimately defeated in combat.[4]
Sometime later, Redben's profile in the New Republic prison registry was one of several that Marshal Carasynthia Dune looked at from her office on the planet Nevarro while searching for the profile of prisoner Migs Mayfeld.[1]

SWCC 2019: 9 Things We Learned from The Mandalorian Panel on StarWars.com (backup link) establishes that The Mandalorian is set about five years after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 4 ABY. Therefore, the events of "Chapter 14: The Tragedy," including the appearance of Biran Redben, must have taken place around 9 ABY.
