Rovo was a human who served as apprentice to the metalsmith Troha Sor in Olega City, capital of the planet Olega, during the High Republic Era. The pair melted down and reforged scrap and raw materials to craft both decorative and practical goods, which they sold as street vendors in the street markets of the city.[1] In 132 BBY,[2] Rovo and Sor were working on metal with blowtorches outside a building opposite the Olega Apothecary when the Sith assassin Mae-ho Aniseya entered the apothecary to meet her ally Qimir.[3]
Later that day, the pair were still working in the same spot when Qimir returned to the apothecary and was followed in by Mae-ho's twin Verosha Aniseya shortly after. That night, Rovo and Sor packed up their workstation after darkness fell.[3] Rovo had light skin and dirty blond hair. The apprentice wore a gray shirt, a brown apron, a brown belt, brown gloves, a brown hat, and black goggles.[1]
