Todak is not from Torque, he spent most of his life towards the core. He has travelled, but mostly for work and is not particularly knowledgeable about the galaxy at large. Instead he was more focused on work. He trained at the University of Bar'leth studying Mechanical Engineering, but his career has meandered. His most recent job before his arrest was for Merr-Sonn Industrial Equipment. His only link to Torque before ending up interred there is the coincidence that a fellow graduate of the University of Bar'leth, with whom he shared several classes, is now working in the Torque Transport Ministry. They weren’t particularly close friends outside of University but they got on well in class and enjoyed working together.
