From the Expanded Universe

Willrow Hood never set out to be a hero, but fate begged to differ. Hood moved to Bespin to work for A'roFilter, a mining company specializing in operations on gas planets. The company was sympathetic to the Rebellion, and as a trusted employee Hood was put in charge of secretly supplying the Alliance with discounted Tibanna gas.

Data on the transactions -- including the codenames and locations of Rebel agents -- were tightly held in encrypted files inside A'roFilter's main computer. Hood knew the Empire had spies on Cloud City. He suspected Tian Chyler of having some sort of Imperial connections. She was a little too interested in other people's business for his liking, so he avoided her and any questions she had about A'roFilter's business deals. He ensured the Rebel shipments always had carbonite-solid cover stories in order to avoid undue suspicions.

The quiet Tibanna shipping scheme proved successful but Hood's life changed abruptly when the Empire seized control of the city. He realized he could not let the Imperials find the Rebel data in the main computer, so he removed its memory core and rushed to the nearest waste disposal station to get rid of the incriminating evidence.

Hood stayed behind for the sake of his fellow miners but the Imperial occupation was a trying time for him. He was arrested as a possible seditionist and held in the security tower. Even under scan-grid interrogation he did not reveal what he knew and was eventually released.

Before long, the Rebels got the upper hand in the war the disenfranchised ISB agent Tian Chyler defected. She always suspected that Hood had Rebel contacts and now enlisted his help in handing over vital information on the city's defenses. Hood was wary but he grew to trust her. Their plan worked and the city was eventually liberated by the Alliance.

After this exciting period of his life, Willrow Hood was glad to settle back down again to his old life. He'd had quite enough excitement for one lifetime.
