Pharl McQuarrie/Legends

Pharl McQuarrie was General Carlist Rieekan's handpicked second-in-command at Echo Base, and was instrumental in that base's establishment.

Biography
Pharl McQuarrie was a native of the planet Ralltiir, in the Core Worlds, where he served as a respected military advisor for many years prior to 0 BBY. Following the Imperial subjugation of the Ralltiir system several weeks prior to the Battle of Yavin, in which the Empire clamped down on the increasing numbers of Ralltiiri Rebel sympathizers, McQuarrie fled his homeworld to seek aid from the Alliance.

Prior to the Imperial occupation, Pharl had been a respected military advisor on his homeworld of Ralltiir, but he later fled to become a commander in the Rebel Alliance. Working with his close friend Jeroen Webb, McQuarrie took command of local resistance on Ralltiir, staging a diversion that allowed important data to be transmitted to Princess Leia Organa.

Behind the scenes
Pharl McQuarrie was portrayed by none other than famed concept artist Ralph McQuarrie. In fact, Pharl is an anagram of Ralph.
