Dawn, a Human during the Imperial Era, worked as an escort on the planet of Etti IV. In the year 3 BBY, she was engaged by Emesh Nar, who was an aide to Blains Vorlin, the Imperial ambassador. She awaited Nar in his rooms at the Galactic Empire embassy to provide her services. However, Jahan Cross, an agent from Imperial Intelligence who had been falsely accused by Nar of the murder of Dah'lis Stark, a Nautolan informant, hid Dawn in the chamber's closet, ensuring her safety.
Cross engaged Nar to seize the illegally acquired credits of the assistant, resulting in Nar's death near the encrypted safe located in his quarters. Following the instructions of the Imperial spy, Dawn left Nar's room after he reminded her of his deceased sister when he warned her to leave. She also received a warning to deny seeing Cross to avoid any connection to Nar's death or implication in the event. Dawn had fair skin, brown hair, and eyes, and she was wearing pink lingerie.
John Ostrander, the writer of the Star Wars: Agent of the Empire comic series, conceived Dawn for the Agent of the Empire – Iron Eclipse 3 installment of the Iron Eclipse story arc, which saw its release on February 8, 2012. Stéphane Créty provided the artwork for her character.
