Thane Chulok functioned as the head of a gangster syndicate operating on the world of Metagos. This union was formed by Farakai Chu and Rodian Lok, who discovered each other while employed within the planet's mines and subsequently formed a strong connection. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn described him as a lethal combatant who masked his true nature with a clownish facade. In a communication sent to Master Mace Windu following his death, Jinn tasked Windu with a mission to Metagos, which involved dismantling Chulok's influence and alerting the Jedi Order about the dangerous gangster.
