== Biography ==
=== Selling Stolen Items ===
==== Dealing with the Ravagers ====
: "It's my policy never to discuss my clients, or their needs.""Yeah, well, I almost died getting it for you.""An occupational hazard, I'm sure, in your line of work."
: ―Broker and Star-Lord[src]
The Broker was contacted by Yondu Udonta of the Ravagers, who wished to obtain the Orb and sell it through him. When Star-Lord learned of Yondu's agreement, he left the Ravagers and stole the Orb. He brought it to the Broker's Shop on Xandar and attempted to sell the Orb to him. The Broker questioned Star-Lord and in the process learned that the Orb was also sought by Ronan the Accuser. Fearing for his life if he acquired the Orb, the Broker refused to take the Orb and evicted Star-Lord from his shop.
Later, he was visited by Udonta and Kraglin Obfonteri, who threatened to kill him if he did not tell them who had planned to buy the Orb from him. He revealed his client to be Taneleer Tivan, which led the Ravagers to Knowhere.
He was present during the Battle of Xandar and witnessed Ronan's death at the hands of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
=== Living on Knowhere ===
Years later, following Thanos' attack on Xandar, the Broker started living on Knowhere, recently bought by the Guardians of the Galaxy. While playing cards with Kraglin Obfonteri, Howard the Duck, and Bzermikitokolok, among others, the Broker had to listen to Cosmo complaining about Obfonteri calling her a bad dog. All of them were visibly annoyed by Cosmo's ramblings and the Broker practically begged Obfonteri to take his words back, but he refused, reiterating that Cosmo was a bad dog.
