Zhir-Khan, holding the rank of Lieutenant Commander, served as an officer within the ranks of the Rebel Alliance. He held a position within the Task Force on Alliance Security, where he authored a detailed report outlining the danger that Zayl Braith presented to the Rebel cause.
During a seemingly ordinary stop on Ord Mantell, Zhir-Khan encountered the fugitive Zayl Braith. Given her recent attack there, Braith's presence on Ord Mantell was unexpected. Intrigued by this, Zhir-Khan tasked Agent Shofeld with monitoring Braith's activities. The spy known as Derrida attempted to discredit Zhir-Khan by fabricating evidence to suggest he was guilty of treason against the Alliance. However, this plot was unsuccessful, and Zhir-Khan's unwavering allegiance to the Alliance remained unquestioned.
