Pax Bonkik Pax Bonkik was a male Rodian mechanic , and along with his brother , Trax Bonkik , served as a slave to the Podracer Mars Guo . Guo was a particularly overbearing owner , and worked the siblings to exhaustion . Pax eventually struck up a friendship with the racer Teemto Pagalies , who abhorred slavery , especially since the object of his affections , Ann Gella , was herself a slave . At the Boonta Eve Classic of 32 BBY , Guo sustained crippling damage from the former champion , Sebulba . While he was healing from his wounds , Sebulba , bitter that he had lost the race to young Anakin Skywalker , arranged to have Guo ' s possessions auctioned off . Pagalies , who had himself survived a crash during the race , was only able to free Pax , with Trax being sold off to Sebulba . Pax , however , was determined to save his brother , and worked for Pagalies until he had earned enough to repay the kindly Veknoid . When Pagalies won the Aleen Classic , he had enough credits to free Ann Gella , but at the last moment , he chose to free Trax , finally reuniting him with his brother . Biography . Early life . The Rodian male Pax Bonkik grew up on Rodia , alongside his brother , Trax . Their parents were spice addicts , and were constantly out of work , and so they made the decision to sell their children into slavery . Pax decided to look out for his brother during those trying times , and the two drifted from master to master , job to job , eventually acquiring a variety of skill sets . They developed into mechanics , and their skills garnered them the attention of the minor league Podracer , Mars Guo . Service under Guo . Guo forced the siblings to work to exhaustion on his Podracer , a Plug - 2 " Behemoth " , in the pursuit of what Guo deemed to be perfection . The pair were also subjected to Guo ' s bragging and boasting , which led Pax to seek solitude . He found it in Teemto Pagalies , another Podracer . Pagalies was totally abhorrent to the concept of slavery , and in turn , he struck up a friendship with Pax . Pagalies ' resentment of slavery , however , was likely due to the fact that the object of his affections , Ann Gella , was in fact a slave of the champion Podracer , Sebulba . Boonta Eve Classic . In 32 BBY , Guo intended to compete in the Boonta Eve Classic on Tatooine , one of the largest and most prestigious of all Podraces . Shortly before the race , Trax entered into an argument with Guo , and the latter mercilessly beat the hapless Rodian to a pulp . Guo claimed that after the race , he would sell Trax off , thereby separating the siblings for the first time . Pax , seeking to avert such an occurrence , contacted Pagalies , who was also participating in the race . He explained the situation , and also told Pagalies that Guo had his eyes on Gella , and likely intended to purchase her from Sebulba . Pagalies was skeptical , but he disliked the idea of having the Bonkiks separated , or worse , the thought of Gella in the clutches of Guo . During the race , Guo ' s Podracer was destroyed by Sebulba . While this could have proved advantageous for the Bonkiks , it turned out to be disastrous . Sebulba , bitter that he had lost the race to Anakin Skywalker , a local boy , arranged to have Guo ' s possessions auctioned while the Phuii lay in the infirmary . Pagalies had also sustained the loss of his Podracer during the tumultuous race , and was only able to afford to buy Pax at the auction , while Trax fell into the possession of Sebulba . Service under Pagalies . Despite the fact that he was free , Pax decided to stay on with Pagalies , and served as his mechanic . Together , they traveled the racing circuit , with their eyes on the lookout for Sebulba or Trax . Eventually , Pax was able to raise enough credits to pay Pagalies back for his kindness on Tatooine . The Veknoid , with Pax ' s help , won the Aleen Classic , and was finally able to purchase Ann Gella ' s freedom . At the last minute , however , Pagalies relented , and purchased Trax , reuniting the Rodians . The siblings would eventually stay in each other ' s company until death . Personality and traits . The one constant in Pax Bonkik ' s life was the companionship of his brother , Trax . They stayed together through their slavery , and had effectively looked out for each other as they matured . As such , the well - being of Trax was high in Pax ' s priorities . When the machinations of Sebulba threatened to tear them apart , Pax was willing to go into debt and test his friendship with Teemto Pagalies in order to secure the safety of his brother . When Pagalies was only able to pay for Pax , the Rodian stayed in the Podracer ' s company , and even though he did not have to , worked as a mechanic for Pagalies . His mechanical skills served him well enough to allow him to raise money to pay back Pagalies , when the opportunity arose . Behind the scenes .
