A Force-sensitive, Boofer was inducted into the Jedi Order and received training in the ways of the Force at the Coruscant Jedi Temple. When the Clone Wars erupted between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Boofer remained at the Temple and participated in the 19 BBY Jedi Temple Apprentice Tournament. Administrated by Master Ilena Xan, Boofer faced off against fellow Initiate Horororibb in the tournament's first round.
Boofer first appeared in Yoda: Dark Rendezvous, a Star Wars Legends novel written by Sean Stewart and published on November 23, 2004.
