From the Expanded Universe

Niai Fieso grew up in Veterned, the capital of Troiken. His family was poor and could not afford education for Niai, and he spent most of his youth roaming the streets. After a string of odd-jobs, he ended up working for con-artist Freon Drevan, who ran a bootleg racket selling knock off merchandise connected to the famous Podracer Gasgano. Drevan was impressed by how Niai managed to swindle beings with his warm and friendly demeanor, and before long Freon promoted Niai from lowly factory drudge to his right-hands Xexto. Together, they made a name for themselves, expanding their business from simple bootlegging to smuggling of various illegal wares.

Niai was growing tired of being in Freon's shadow and hatched a plan to be rid of him. The crafty Niai began skimming profits from spice smuggling, while dropping hints to the authorities that led to a raid that got Freon jailed.

On his own, Niai became a successful con-artist, swindling provincial beings and businesses of sizable sums. One of his most successful scams was to pretend that he was the agent of galaxy-famous Gasgano. Niai managed to hoodwink businesses in the Corporate Sector for "exclusive sponsorship deals." The money involved would ensure his retirement, but his bluff was called by an Authority Attorney General, and he had to escape the Espos and the sector with his few belongings.

Lying low on Tatooine, with very little money to his name, he took a food vendor job at the Mos Espa Grand Arena during the Boonta Eve Classic. The Podracing environment struck him as a perfect place to find foolish marks ready to be parted from their money. While scoping out potential victims, he suddenly received a trio of punches in his face: Freon was in the audience and a fight between them broke out.

They ended up both in the local jail, with Niai being transferred to the Corporate Sector authorities.
