Biography
In 0 ABY, shortly after the destruction of the first Death Star, He, Mala, and Beesix (who was left behind in a spaceport) arrived on Centares, where Darth Vader interrogated and tortured the captured Rebel pilot, Thurlow Harris, in the former Museum of the Old Republic, until he revealed that Luke Skywalker had destroyed the Death Star.
When the name reached Vader's ears, he flew into a rage, and ordered his stormtroopers to kill everyone (including Brazzo, Selle, and Ban Papeega) who have heard of the name, and Mala tried to escape, but soon killed Thurlow afterward. They were then chased through the nearby woods until they cornered on a point of land. They had to jump for their lives, and although they went down firing, He was crushed upon impact. Mala barely survived, and was rescued by Beesix.
Behind the scenes
Fordee was created by Star Wars artist Dave Gibbons for Vader's Quest 1 of the Vader's Quest series of comics, published in 1999 by Dark Horse Comics.
