Firka was a big, bulky Jacksonian who formed a smuggling team/family with Gras-Grace, Hewlet, and Russo Gupta. He took on the duties of fixing up manifests and documentation to pass inspection when necessary. Gupta impersonated him for a time after his team/family was attacked by a crazed Cetagandan ba; Firka was killed along with Hewlet and Gras-Grace.
