Biography
In 42 BBY, Patroni met Pax Eem and MI5 agent Shasta Moonreaper while traveling aboard the Starport 15 passenger transport.

Pax was transporting priceless works of art in the lower cargo levels of the ship that a thief named Jace Riker planned on stealing. So Shasta enlisted Patroni's help in apprehending Riker.

Patroni led her down to the cargo hold to check on Pax's possessions where they found Riker and his buddies. Shasta then ordered Patroni to head up to the control deck and tell Captain Harris to land on the nearest planet so they could turn Riker over to the authorities.

Patroni did just that. He explained the situation to Harris and convinced him to drop out of hyperspace and land on. After Riker and his friends were taken into custody and the priceless artwork was secure, Patroni told Shasta that MI5 could call on him whenever they needed help with anything. He was proud of the fact that he assisted MI5 in taking down a known criminal.
