During the First Order occupation of the planet Batuu[1] in 34 ABY,[2] Askol was 90 years old. At this time, the pirate Hondo Ohnaka sent several stolen identity profiles, including a profile of Askol, to the datapads of several individuals in Black Spire Outpost on Batuu. The individuals were preparing to carry out a heist for Ohnaka Transport Solutions, and Ohnaka wished to test if they could remember information concerning a potential cover identity, quizzing them on details from each of the profiles.[1]
