Sconto was a human male merchant who owned a junk shop in Pau City on the planet Utapau. According to Sconto's mother, whom he did not doubt, his father was a clone trooper who fought in the Clone Wars. Karr Nuq Sin, Maize Raynshi, and RZ-7 visited Sconto's junk shop during Nuq Sin's quest to search for artifacts relating to the Jedi. Sconto showed them a staff that had belonged to Tion Medon, and Nuq Sin touched the staff, having a Force vision of Medon meeting the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.
