This hawker was a brown Aki-Aki who spoke an alien language and who worked aboard an Imperial-operated hovertrain on the planet Golak[1] at some point between 18 BBY and 3 BBY.[2] They sold colorful Le'bi sweets to passengers of the train, often creating queues between the seats and beds. The young human Charuk attempted to purchase a le'bi from this hawker, however, his younger sister Rani was cornered and reported to a nearby Imperial stormtrooper for publicly using the Force while he was waiting in line.[1]
To distract the Imperials and other aliens attempting to confront and apprehend Rani, Charuk stole a handful of le'bi that the hawker was about to give to an Ithorian patron, causing the Aki-Aki to jump and call for the stormtrooper to apprehend the thief, though ultimately they would not recover the merchandise that Charuk took.[1]
