Yearo Seville was a Human male and a member of the Seville pirate clan during the time of the Galactic Civil War. He had nine parallel scars on his cheek. During Seville's youth, the droid MdZ-BLK tried to kill its owner, the Seville matriarch Darion Seville—who was also Yearo's mother, but Yearo saved her and disposed of the droid, sending it to kill Gorbu Dalo, a rival Hutt pirate. Seville was also involved in the abduction of Crying Dawn Singer, a Shashay cultural hero. The operation was only one of the many moves in an important conspiracy of Braig Farool, governor of the planet Narg, to depose and replace Moff Nile Owen of the Rayter sector. The pirate then allied himself with agents of the Galactic Empire to annihilate the fleet of the rival Vallaido pirate clan.
