Nik Deleru was a Nautolan Male living on Coruscant during the time of the Cold War. While on Coruscant his mate, Ria, left him. Nik believed her departure to be due to a kidnapping by the Migrant Merchants' Guild but instead his mate chose to work in the employ of the guild, dancing in their headquarters. Her departure led Nik to seek the help of the Coruscant Security Force. While arguing with Police Officer Mal, Deleru enlisted the help of an individual to locate Ria.
