Tomith Garbis was a male gangster and the son of Lord Donith Garbis, the patriarch of the Garbis crime family. In the few years that led to the Battle of Yavin, he and his family operated on the planet of Thune. In 3 BBY, he had a run-in with Sabine Wren and Garazeb Orrelios, who had been sent to Thune to recover crates of weapons and starship pieces of behalf of the anti-Empire rebellion. Even with the help of four goons and a Gruthic Winged Beast, Garbis proved unable to defeat the two rebels, and came back to his incensed father empty-handed.
