Biography
- "Move along."
"They're free." - ―The guard and Mungo Baobab, the latter of whom offering free pies
A Human male security guard worked for Governor Bisad Koong of the planet Roon.[1] In 15 BBY,[2] the guard was tasked with guarding Koong's Fortress of Tawntoom on Roon when the Human Mungo Baobab and his droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, tried to sneak in in order to free friends of theirs. With the infiltrators disguised as merchants, the guard inquired of Baobab and C-3PO's business; Baobab tried to distract them with mupple pies that he had stolen and was able to do so once he offered the pies at no cost. The guard, along with another Human guard, ate and enjoyed the pies, allowing C-3PO to smuggle in R2-D2.[1]
The distraction did not hold for long, however, for once the pair of guards were finished with their mupple pie, they immediately clamored for more. It was then that R2-D2 was able to evacuate his targets, Auren and Nilz Yomm, so C-3PO pointed to the escaped prisoners for the guards to chase after; Baobab then intervened and knocked the guards down.[1]
