Bolpuhr was the Noghri bodyguard of Leia Organa Solo at the beginning the Yuuzhan Vong War as recompense for her and her brother Luke Skywalker helping rebuild the Noghri homeworld of Honoghr after its oppression under the Galactic Empire. Bolpuhr accompanied Leia on her mission to negotiate with Nom Anor. During the Battle of Dantooine, he killed a Yuuzhan Vong warrior by beating a knife in it's sternum, saving the life of Leia Organa Solo. However, the same warrior killed him easily, cutting his chest and neck open. His death, however, horrified Leia to her very core—no one could kill a Noghri easily. He was replaced by Olmahk and Basbakhan.
