Paddy Accu was an elderly male human who lived on the planet Naboo shortly before the outbreak of the Clone Wars. He worked as the caretaker of Varykino, an island retreat owned by the Naberrie family in the Lake Country area of Naboo.[5] When Padmé Amidala—senator for Naboo and a member of the Naberrie family—went into hiding after a series of attempts on her life, Accu transported her and the Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker to Varykino in a gondola speeder.[1] Accu had worked there since Amidala's childhood.[6] Upon reaching the villa he helped unpack the pairs' bags from the boat. Accu had fair skin and gray hair.[1]
