Eyvind was a human male who worked as a moisture farmer on the desert planet Tatooine during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin during the Galactic Civil War between the Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic, Eyvind shared a drink with the spice-addicted Snivvian Takeel in Chalmun's Cantina in the spaceport of Mos Eisley on Tatooine. While they drank together another local moisture farmer named Luke Skywalker and the Jedi in hiding Obi-Wan Kenobi got into an altercation at the cantina's bar with two local thugs named Doctor Cornelius Evazan and Ponda Baba.
