N'zaet Nir was a human male who is from Mayro and a member of the Direx Board, the executive committee of the Corporate Sector Authority. During the Clone Wars, he was one of six civilians taken hostage in the Galactic City spaceport hostage siege by Korunnai terrorists. They had rigged the other hostages with dummy explosives and forced Nir to swap clothes with one of the terrorists. When Galactic Republic forces stormed the room he was nearly misidentified and shot by a commando, but was saved by the actions of Kal Skirata, who had infiltrated the room earlier in the siege.
It became apparent afterward that the terrorists had intended that Nir be killed, thereby creating tension between the Republic and CSA, who were neutral in the conflict with the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
