Zaret was a human male who served as a spy for the Nihil pirates on the planet Banchii. Undercover as a farmer, Zaret aided the settler Kooba in bringing a container of Drengir seeds to Banchii, which resulted in Kooba's death and an attack on the local Jedi temple. The Jedi stationed at the temple deduced after the attack that Kooba had had help, but were unaware of Zaret's true allegiance. After realizing the Jedi were investigating the matter, Zaret contacted the other Nihil and suggested they needed to escalate their efforts on Banchii.[1]
