Bio
Furlow's morals are as dirty as her clothing. Crichton and Aeryn first encountered the money grubbing Furlow on the desert planet of Dam-Ba-Da when the Farscape-1 Module was damaged by solar flares. While very willing to help Crichton repair his module and help Aeryn after she is blinded by solar flares, Furlow is not what she seems.
Unable to pay Furlow for the repairs, Crichton is forced to hand over all his data on wormholes as payment.
Two cycles later the crew of Talyn is informed by Jack the Ancient that Furlow has copied the Farscape-1 Module and fitted it with a Phase Stabilizer to allow for wormhole travel. Crichton, Aeryn and Jack return goes back to Dam-Ba-Da to find Furlow's bunker heavily guarded by Charrids. With a little help from Talyn, Crichton and Aeryn were able to overtake the Charrids and get into the bunker where they found Furlow hanging in chains, claiming the Charrids she hired for security had double-crossed her.
After torturing the last surviving Charrid, Rygel finds out the Scarrans are on their way with a Dreadnought to obtain Furlow's information. Dropping the act Furlow tried to convince Crichton, with the aide of a gun that they can sell the technology to the Scarrans, Nebari, and Peacekeepers, keep the balance of power in the universe and get rich. Crichton refuses and with time running out Jack offers to unlock the wormhole information in Crichton's the Ancients planted in his mind. Seeing an even better opportunity arising Furlow backs off.
Waiting for the opportune moment to dispatch Jack and blame the Charrids, Furlow tried again to convince Crichton to sell the knowledge he has of wormholes and the Displacement Engine they plan to use to destroy the Scarran Dreadnought. When Crichton refused again she stole the Displacement Engine, revealing she killed Jack and that she had been working with the Scarrans all along. Attempting to escape in her Sand-Terrain Vehicle under the cover a solar flare, Crichton catches up with her. Having no other choice she abandoned the Displacement Engine and escapes.
Furlow is still at large in the Uncharted Territories.

Trivia
Although Furlow never again made a single appearance in Farscape after Season 3, it's possible that she would have returned at some point in Season 5 (or 6, if there was one), mostly likely still helping the Scarrans. It was hinted at when the other John got the dead John's message aboard Moya ("Furlow is still out there.").
