From the Movies
Known confidant of Lt. Dannl Faytonni, Achk Med-Beq wore the uniform of a Republic official while visiting a popular gambling club in the Coruscant's glittering entertainment district. He was seen conversing with Twi'leks Lunae Minx and Ayy Vida when a pair of Jedi showed up in pursuit of a changeling assassin.
From the Expanded Universe
Achk Med-Beq and Lt. Dannl Faytonni are partners in crime, though Med-Beq is probably the more inventive and ambitious of the two. Faytonni and Med-Beq took the plunge into the underworld when a botched spice mine front nearly landed Faytonni in jail. With Med-Beq's help, Dannl fled Corellia, and eventually ended up on Coruscant. They did a very brief stint at the Moderate Security Ward of the Coco District Penitentiary, before escaping in a laundry speeder. Dannl's gambling skills won them a pair of Republic official uniforms, which they wore to the Outlander Club that night.
Behind the Scenes
Achk Med-Beq was played by Ahmed Best, the actor who plays Jar Jar Binks. Since only Best's voice and energy of performance remain after Industrial Light & Magic has created Jar Jar, his cameo in the nightclub marked the first time his face could clearly be seen on-screen.
