The title of this article is conjectural. Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A humanoid pirate operated within the Nihil marauder organization during the High Republic Era. In 228 BBY, the pirate contacted the Grim Devourer II via hologram and requested to see transpo credentials from the starship, which was operated by the pirate Tanana Keem's crew. Keem's child, Zyle Keem, stalled for time to allow the Jedi Padawan Ram Jomaram to fix the hyperdrive to the ship. While the Nihil was stating the ship would be boarded, Jomaram fixed the hyperdrive and the ship jumped to hyperspace.
