Casitine Loscar was a scout for the resistance fighter Saw Gerrera's partisans while they were based in the Catacombs of Cadera on the moon Jedha. Using a variety of face-concealing disguises, Loscar listened for valuable intel in the marketplaces of Jedha City and was present there in 1 BBY when rebel agents Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor were there, ultimately helping to capture them with a group of other partisans following a partisan ambush of an Imperial convoy in Tythoni Square.
==Biography==
===Market eavesdropper===
Casitine Loscar was a member of the resistance fighter Saw Gerrera's partisans during the group's campaigns against the Galactic Empire. While Gerrera was based out of the Catacombs of Cadera on the moon Jedha, Loscar served as a scout there and eavesdropped for valuable intel while navigating the crowded marketplaces of Jedha City on the moon.
In 1 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story to 1 BBY. he was moving through a crowded street near one of the city's marketplaces when he walked past the criminals Doctor Cornelius Evazan and Ponda BabaStar Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary, New Edition as Baba shouted at the rebel agent Jyn Erso for bumping into Evazan. After Erso and her ally Cassian Andor moved away from the criminals, Loscar walked behind them into another busy market area and was stood looking at a stall next to the Guardian of the Whills Chirrut Îmwe when Îmwe called out to Erso. As Erso and Îmwe conversed, Loscar's fellow partisan Dafir Toogan stood beside the scout.
===Ambush and prisoner capture===
Loscar interacted with a container on the edge of Tythoni Square and then stood among crowds of onlookers in the square as an Imperial convoy carrying kyber crystals passed through. The partisans had an ambush set up in the square, and many emerged from the surrounding buildings and crowds to overwhelm the Imperials and steal the crystals before more Imperial forces arrived and caused the surviving partisans to flee. Soon after the ambush, Loscar stood with an elderly human in a separate square in the city as a group of Imperial stormtroopers questioned Erso, Andor, and their droid companion K-2SO nearby.
Îmwe then entered the square from behind Loscar and proceeded to attack the Imperials, causing Loscar and the other onlookers present to scatter. Loscar soon returned however with a large group of partisans led by the Tognath Benthic, who took Erso, Andor, Îmwe, and Îmwe's partner, Baze Malbus, captive, with some of the group escorting the prisoners back to Gerrera at the catacombs. The Empire then evacuated its forces from Jedha before the Death Star superweapon fired upon the moon, destroying both Jedha City and the catacombs. Many partisans perished in the blast, although Benthic and some others did survive.Star Wars (2015) 39
