- Lin speaking about Bellis to the Sergeant Bellis was a Human male who lived on the planet Ord Mantell with his wife, Lin, during the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. At the time of a war started by a group of separatists attempting to overthrow the planet's government, Bellis and Lin lived in a house in Talloran village, a small settlement on the island of Avilatan. After the village was captured by the separatists, Bellis spied on the separatists for the Republic. In the year 3,643 BBY, the separatists stole a powerful ZR-57 orbital strike bomb from the Republic&mdash;prompting the Republic forces on the planet to request that Bellis uncover the bomb's location. He was able to determine that the bomb was located in a supply outpost on the small island of Mannett Point. After placing the information in his field box, Bellis contacted the Republic forces to set up a meeting in a small alley in Talloran village. In response, the Republic Special Forces unit known as Havoc Squad sent a newly-recruited sergeant to obtain the information. However, Bellis was killed by the separatists before the Sergeant arrived, although the soldier was still able to obtain the field box from Bellis's wife.

Biography
"Bellis reported making an important discovery, but he's in too deep to exfiltrate for a full report. Instead, you'll rendezvous with Bellis in a nearby village called Talloran."

- Commander Harron Tavus assigning the Sergeant to meet with Bellis

A Human male, Bellis was alive during the time of the Cold War fought bewteen the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. At some point during his live, Bellis married a Human female named Lin who he lived with in a two-story house in Talloran village, a small settlement located on Avilatan, an island on a planet named Ord Mantell. While Bellis and Lin lived on the planet, a group of separatists rebelled against the Republic and Ord Mantell's government and attempted to take control of the world. Bellis's home village of Talloran was the first village that the separatists took over on Avilatan, and they ultimately barricaded it to defend against Republic counterattacks. During that time, Bellis worked as a spy for the Republic and reported on separatist activities to Republic forces at Fort Garnik, a Republic base located near Talloran village. While working as a spy for the Republic, Bellis and his wife stayed in their home, where Bellis stored his field box, a type of container used by Republic agents to store important information that they uncovered. During the war, Bellis risked his life for the Republic many times in order to provide intelligence on separatist activities. He always met with Republic forces in person, due to the fact that the separatists could monitor nearby communcations with signal tappers.

In the year 3,643 BBY, the separatists were able to steal a ZR-57 orbital strike bomb from the Republic, which prompted the Republic to locate where the separatists had hidden the powerful weapon. Bellis was one of several individuals that the Republic called on for aid, and he was able to determine that the bomb had been taken to a separatist-controlled supply outpost on Mannett Point, a small island of Avilatan's coast. After he found out the information, he incoded it and placed in his field box before informing the Republic that he had learned of the weapon's location. Commander Harron Tavus, the leader of the Republic Special Forces unit known as Havoc Squad, arranged for his squad's newly-recruited Sergeant to meet with Bellis in a small alley in Talloran village, since Bellis could not leave the village due to the separatist activity around it. Before the Sergeant was able to arrive, Bellis was killed by separatists&mdash;forcing the soldier to go to Bellis's house to retrieve his field box. Upon learning of Bellis's death, Lin was greatly upset and did not want to give the field box to the Sergeant, but she eventually relented&mdash;allowing the Sergeant to take Bellis's information back to Fort Garnik. There, Republic forces reviewed Bellis's findings and prepared a mission to infiltrate the supply outpost on Mannett Point in order to recapture the bomb.
