Rorq was a male Mawan, and a native of Mawan. In the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Rorq worked on fuel transport tunnels for his homeworld's capital city of Naatan. Following the planet's disastrous civil war, he worked as a "subrat" tunnel worker in Naatan's underground infrastructure. In 25 BBY, he acted as a guide, alongside his friend Swanny Mull, for Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Yaddle during their mission to Mawan. Rorq had long, gleaming dark hair and a short but muscular build.
