Kirk Windjammer
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Kirk Windjammer was a very tall Human (possibly Epicanthix) male from the planet R-duba. His profession was the shipping of goods in his anti-grav loader, the Seaskimmer. Upon losing a droid at sea, he purchased R2-D2 as a replacement from droid salesman Van P. Quist, separating the droid from his counterpart, C-3PO.
After helping Prince Jagoda prevent an invasion of R-duba from Dorande, he was made the prince's royal advisor.
