Biography[]
Yade M'rak was a Human from the planet Corellia.[1] By 32 BBY,[2] he[1] moved to the desert world of Tatooine and settled in the city of Mos Espa. Largely ignored and derided by the city's gangsters and spacers, M'rak made considerable efforts to stay out of their disputes and lightfights.[3]
On Tatooine, M'rak was addicted to gambling on the outcome of Podraces. After losing most of his belongings to the crime lord Gardulla the Hutt, he remained in Mos Espa and worked as a smuggler of black market weaponry.[1] In 32 BBY,[2] the Corellian attended the annual Boonta Eve Classic Podrace in the Mos Espa Grand Arena, where he watched the proceedings from the private viewing box of the Toydarian merchant Watto.[4]
Personality and traits[]
Yade M'rak was a gambler who was addicted to betting on Podracing, but bad luck saw him part with the majority of his possessions.[1] He kept a low profile in Mos Espa and attempted not to become involved in local disputes.[3] Like many other down-on-their-luck denizens of the city, M'rak scraped by while dreaming of one day being able to leave Tatooine.[5] A smuggler of black market contraband, he was possessed of fair skin, as well as gray hair that he wore in at least two dreadlocks and sometimes kept under a hood.[1]
