Palleus Chuff was a male actor during the reign of the Galactic Republic. Since childhood, his passion was pretending; specifically, pretending to be a hero. His small height, which was below one meter, forced him to portray dubious characters in his early acting career. However, he eventually made his breakthrough with his portrayal of Jedi Master Yoda in his self-written play Jedi!. Later, in 20 BBY, Chuff impersonated Yoda at the Jedi Master's behest on a personal mission to the planet Ithor in the Ottega system. The goal of this mission was to keep Yoda's mission to Vjun secret.
