Gadfrey Oseon was a would-be explorer who was trapped in the life of a circus ringleader. His "break" came during a performance on Nal Hutta, when he somehow upset the Hutts and was forced to flee for his life. He entered the Centrality and discovered the asteroid belt that would later be named for him, the Oseon. Before he could leave, however, he was trapped there for several weeks by the phenomenon that would later be called the Flamewind.
