Background: Penn Pershing was a human male doctor and clone engineer affiliated with a remnant of the Galactic Empire during the New Republic Era. By 9 ABY, Pershing and “the Client” placed a bounty on Grogu in hopes of acquiring it. One of the bounty hunters who accepted the commission was Din Djarin who met with the Client and Pershing while they were under the protection of Remnant Stormtroopers.
Djarin retrieved Grogu for the Imperials, and delivered him directly to the Client and Pershing, who verified he was healthy. The doctor and the Client then argued about extracting material from the child, with Pershing ensuring that it remained alive. After having a change of heart, Djarin returned and fought his way through the facility where Pershing was working on Grogu. The bounty hunter confronted Pershing who begged for his and the child’s life, causing Djarin to spare the scientist and leave with the infant.
After the kidnapping, Pershing continued his work for Gideon, injecting Grogu’s blood into the bodies of volunteers, ultimately resulting in their deaths after initial promising results. In need of more of Grogu’s blood, the doctor sent a hologram to Gideon revealing that he was unable to continue his work. Gideon eventually recaptured Grogu on the planet Tython, but as Pershing was being transported aboard a shuttle, the vessel was attacked by the bounty hunter Boba Fett, who used the ion cannons on his ship, the Slave I, the disable the shuttle. Djarin boarded the vessel along with his ally Cara Dune, but Pershing was held hostage by one of the shuttle pilots. Dune shot and killed the pilot, grazing Pershing’s ear. Pershing then betrayed Gideon and offered his master’s enemies valuable intel that allowed them to successfully infiltrate Gideon’s light cruiser and rescue Grogu.
He later joined the Amnesty Program and had the designation Amnesty Scientist L52.
