The female parent of Garr was an Excargan who made a living as a dealer of ore during the era of the Clone Wars. When the Separatists launched an assault on Excarga, this woman and Garr's male parent concealed their offspring as they themselves were taken captive. Following the Republic's retaliatory strike, both of Garr's progenitors were considered deceased, and the orphaned child was transported aboard the Candaserri to an institution for orphans located on Bespin. Garr held the conviction that they lived on and would one day arrive to retrieve their child.
