Wanuri was a male Falleen who worked as an employment officer for the Blackwater Systems corporation on the planet Falleen. In 24 BBY, Wanuri assisted Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker in obtaining employment at Blackwater Systems as janitors so that they could investigate the facility for signs of the Zone of Self-Containment drug and the criminal Granta Omega. Wanuri provided critical information to the Jedi on how to avoid security so that they would not be caught during their investigation.
