Magaloof was a male Leffingite from the planet Almak who journeyed to Coruscant to pursue a career in the line of theft. Stealing an airspeeder to get his break, he soon joined the gang of crime lord Hat Lo. While in Lo's company, however, he sought to fall in with more significant syndicates, such as Black Sun, or the Baath brothers. In time, he entered into what he thought was a partnership with the con man Achk Med-Beq. Together, they participated in several successful heists. However, Med-Beq and his partner Dannl Faytonni set up Magaloof while the Leffingite robbed a CoCo Town jewelry store of its flame gems.
