Berl (Alliance)

Berl was the name of a pilot for the Rebel Alliance who flew an X-wing starfighter in Rogue Squadron under the command of Luke Skywalker.

Biography
Some time after the Battle of Hoth, Berl and Cinda Tarheel attended Luke Skywalker as wing-men on a mission to the planet, Serphidi. Rebel Intelligence had learned that the Serphidian monarch, King S'Shah, had been engaging in talks with the Galactic Empire. The Rebels’ mission was to oust King S'Shah before the Imperials could establish a permanent foothold on Serphidi.

Moments after landing their fighters, the pilots came upon several Serp warriors armed with lances, riding atop lizard-mounts. One of the Serp soldiers blasted Berl in the stomach, killing him. As the Serps under King S'Shah considered human flesh a delicacy, it can presumed that Berl's remains were consumed by the royal household.

Physical appearance
Berl was a young, male human with a thin, black mustache and light brown hair styled in a cropped, military fashion. He wore the standard-issue X-wing flight suit and carried a BlasTech E-11 blaster rifle.

Behind the scenes
The character of Berl was created by Marvel Comics writers, Michael Fleisher and David Michelinie.
