Doleth worked as a mercenary for a few years, but gave it up because the pay didn't match the risk. However, he saw Imperial crimes and abuses across the galaxy. He settled down in Dawnlight, and joined a local news stack in hopes of pushing the Rebel-sympathetic populace into action. Doleth successfully protected Rebel agents from arrest when an informant tipped him off that the Imperials were closing in on their safe house. His actions cost him his anonymity as a Rebel sympathizer, and he fled from Imperial Security Bureau agents to Glare Peak, where he was recruited by Lt. Brand.
