Wutaak was born sickly and frail, too weak to scavenge with his brothers; he was consigned to a Jawa fortress, where he treated the ill and injured. He was content with his life, simple as it might have been, but was forced to flee his home when a group of Tusken Raiders attacked the fortress. Grabbing what little he had, he ran into the desert, where he eventually collapsed. He was found by Atlas, a Mos Eisley mechanic, who took him in and nursed him back to health.
He is thankful for Atlas, and happy to have survived, but the incident has left him rather jumpy. He is addicted to stims, and relies on them to ease his nerves.

Wutaak is bound to Atlas, having sworn to follow her wherever she goes. When she was hired for mechanic work aboard the Silver Sando, he begged Neeblo to hire him as well. He is glad to be at work once more, and works hard - perhaps a bit too hard.

Addicted to stims.
