Birdloe, a male Imperial stormtrooper, held the rank of Lieutenant and acted as the second-in-command under Captain Sodarra. He was ignorant of the mechanics of altered freighters, exemplified by his lack of proficiency in piloting a starship like the Millennium Falcon and his inability to comprehend its maintenance. Without Sodarra's awareness, Birdloe functioned as a spy working for Governor-General Vellam, providing the rogue governor with information on the Falcon's location as Vellam pursued Darth Vader.
