Barada was born on the planet Klatooine. The Klatooinians are dull-eyed, canine_faced humanoids. Since Klatooinians name most of their children after historical figures, Barada shared his name with many others of his race. This has lead some sources to inaccurately identify Klatooinians as "Baradas".
Barada was disrespectful as a youth, and his parents sold him into indentured servitude to the highest bidder. Eventually Barada found himself in the employ of Jabba the Hutt.
Despite Barada's below-average intellect, he was adept with machinery and soon was in charge of maintaining Jabba's luxury vehicles, especially his prized sail barge. Barada made a respectable sum with his services, but was never able to purchase his freedom, because the crafty Hutt charged him exactly the same amount of money for room and board as his salary.
When Jabba set out to the Dune Sea to execute Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca, Barada was among the guards on the skiff with the prisoners. When the Rebels suddenly fought their way free, Barada was the first of many of Jabba's underlings to fall to his death into the gaping maw of the hungry Sarlacc.
Jabba kept Barada in constant slavery by charging him the same amount of money for room, board, and food, as he was paying him.
Barada was, for the most part, a loner, but he got along well with Ephant Mon.
The two confided in each other, and since Barada was a well informed member of Jabba's crew, and Ephant Mon was the behind the scenes spy for the palace, it was a good relationship.
