Jod Na Nawood was a Force-sensitive human male pirate during the New Republic Era, who operated under many aliases such as Crimson Jack, Dash Zentin, Professor Umiam Gorelox, Emissary, Jodwick Zank, or the "Mad" Captain Silvo. As captain of his own pirate crew, Nawood was deposed and imprisoned by his lieutenant Brutus around 9 ABY. Locked in the brig of Borgo Prime, he encountered a group of four children: Wim, KB, Neel, and Fern, and struck a deal with them; offering to help return them to their homeworld of At Attin in exchange for a reward. In truth, At Attin was reputed to be the location of an immense treasure horde, which Na Nawood sought for himself. The group worked alongside the droid SM-33 aboard the antique pirate ship, the Onyx Cinder.
