Dexter Jettster was a male member of the Besalisk race. He was born on the planet Ojom and came to work as a prospector on Subterrel. During this period, Dexter became keenly aware of various underhanded enterprises such as the cloning facilities on Kamino.
Dexter eventually retired from mining and relocated to Coruscant where he opened up a restaurant in CoCo Town called Dex's Diner. His staff included the human Hermione Bagwa and the service droid WA-7.
In 22 BBY, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had a history with Dex, came to the diner to ask him for information relating to a poisoned dart that had been used to assassinate a bounty hunter named Zam Wesell. Dex recognized the weapon and identified it as a Kaminoan sabredart.
