Gaeriel "Gaeri" Captison was a member of an influential political family on Bakura. Her father, Dol Captison, and his brother, Yeorg Captison, were both senators in the Bakuran Senate. As a result, she was raised in the presence of notable political figures, and with a desire to follow in her family members' footsteps.

Gaeriel was influential in the Battle of Bakura, siding with the resistance. She went on to become the Prime Minister of Bakura and lead as a staunch ally of the New Republic. She married Pter Thanas, with whom she had a daughter named Malinza. Gaeriel later accompanied the Bakuran fleet during the First Corellian Insurrection as a diplomat, sacrificing herself and the Intruder to destroy a large portion of the insurgent fleet.
