Kel

Kel was a human male, the older brother of Eila. In 34 ABY, he and his sister were forced to flee their homeworld of Tehar as stowaways after the army of the First Order, led by Kylo Ren, wiped out their villages planet's people, including their parents. The siblings were the only survivors. When the First Order discovered there were survivors, they sought to hunt down and kill Kel and Eila, posting a 20,000 credit bounty on their heads.

Eventually, the siblings came to the Colossus platform on Castilon, where Kel stole some food for them from an Ugnaught vendor, and as a result they were forced to flee the marketplace, bowling over Kazuda Xiono, Neeku Vozo and BB-8 on their way out. Xiono, secretly a Resistance spy, had heard of the bounty on the siblings' heads and, not knowing who placed it, was trying to find the children as he needed the money. Kel angrily refused Xiono's help, and he and his sister ran off. He lost a wooden charm attached to his wristband in the process, which Xiono picked up and later gave to Captain Imanuel Doza.

While they were hiding in the service ducts, Kel and Eila were tracked down by the Chelidae who worked as the platform's engineers, who had been asked to do so by Vozo. When he met Xiono again in the engineering room, Kel explained that, contrary to the bounty report, he and his sister were runaways, not missing, because they didn't have a home to go back to. When Xiono realized they were running from the First Order, he promised to help them get away safely. Kel was accompanied by Xiono, Vozo and BB-8 when they went back to the marketplace to pick up some herbs to help with Eila's broken leg. However, some First Order troops led by Commander Pyre had come to search for them, and they were seen, resulting in a chase back to engineering. There, Xiono came up with a plan to help the siblings fake their deaths. Kel and Eila, cornered by Pyre and his troopers, made it look like they jumped into the ocean rather than allow themselves to be captured, with two Chelidae jumping in their place, and then slowing down their vital signs. Afterwards, the two siblings stayed with the Chelidae, who offered them a safe place to live for the time being.
