From the Expanded Universe

Naboo culture reveres familial bonds, and Theomet Danlé was born to a family that had been proudly mining the riches that Naboo and its moons had to offer for over eight generations. Theomet's aptitude scores and exceptional physical achievements moved him out of the mines, earning him a position in the Theed Palace Guard. Despite some initial misgivings over turning his back on tradition, he fully embraced the assignment in Theed and took care to tithe his income to his family in Kwilaan.

The escalating Separatist crisis that immediately preceded the outbreak of the Clone Wars was very trying for the Danlé family. Naboo's generous acceptance of refugees displaced by the Separatist movement strained the outlying ports, deeply cutting into the mining business. Disgruntled spice miners from Naboo's moons protested loudly against Queen Jamillia's policies, while others took their concerns to the Senate. Padmé Amidala tried to remain removed from what was essentially a planetary issue, but her office was soon embroiled in the tension.

Unable to make a living with their trade, the Danlé family relied on Theomet's income, but it was not enough. Borderline poverty contributed to the death of Theomet's grandfather, which devastated the Danlés, and shook Theomet's loyalty and resolve. He questioned the policies of his monarch, and of the Senator who backed the Queen. One particularly bitter evening, Theomet turned to drink, and his venomous alcohol-fueled complaints in a crowded bar attracted the attention of Zam Wesell.

Disguised as a local journalist, Zam explained to Theomet that she planned to expose Padmé Amidala's hypocrisy to the public, but she needed access to the Royal Naboo Cruiser in order to plant a listening device. In a fit of bad judgment -- and perhaps beguiled by Zam's adopted form -- Theomet agreed. Little did he know he would be facilitating the planting an explosive charge that would destroy the cruiser and kill him in a fiery blast.
