A Marilacan, Suegar had once lived in a mining camp digging up fire gems. In later years, he served as a Lieutenant fighting for his planet against the Cetagandan Invasion, taking part in house-to-house fighting at Port Lisma, when he was captured and taken to the same Dagoola prison camp as where Colonel Guy Tremont was interred. Suegar became Miles' most faithful assistant in restoring order to the camp.
