Todr Fel Todr Fel was a Corellian , the younger brother of Imperial fighter ace Soontir Fel . He grew up on an Allied Grain and Roughage agro - combine , where he learned the values of loyalty , duty , and hard work from his family . He married Ajai Fel , and together they had a son , Fyric , around 3 ABY . Soontir ' s success allowed him to gain a barony and an estate , on which Fel and his family were allowed to live . Nearly five years after the Battle of Yavin , Soontir was captured by the New Republic , and his wife fled into hiding with their children to avoid Imperial retaliation . Hoping to pressure the Fels into divulging her location , Imperial Intelligence backed Ilir Post in kidnapping his son , Fyric . Determined not to betray his family or to let his son be used against him , Fel used three New Republic pilots sent by Wedge Antilles , Soontir ' s brother - in - law , to place a tracker on Post and draw him out . Fel killed Post with a sniper shot , risking Fyric ' s death when he fell from the balcony on which Post held him , because Fel felt it was the only case in which Fyric had any chance of living . One of the New Republic pilots caught Fyric , and the three pilots took Todr , Ajai , and Fyric Fel to safety in the New Republic . Biography . Life on Corellia . Todr Fel was born into the Fel family , nearly all the members of which worked for Allied Grain and Roughage . Fel ' s father worked as a pilot for AGR , and Fel ' s family was raised on an AGR agro - combine . Fel had at least two brothers and one sister , and grew up with the Fel family ' s strict sense of duty and loyalty to each other . Around 10 BBY , his father was accidentally poisoned , and Fel ' s older brother , Soontir , began flying his routes for him . In 10 ABY , Soontir broke up an attempted rape by Ilir Post , a son of a member of AGR ' s board . He was given an appointment to the Academy of Carida , which kept him from testifying on the matter . In exchange , AGR made sure that the Fels were provided for and did not punish their father for having let Soontir operate AGR equipment without official authorization . Fel carried on his life on Corellia , marrying a woman by the name of Ajai . Around late 2 ABY , Fel became a father , with Ajai giving birth to a son , Fyric . In 3 ABY , Fel moved into far more luxurious conditions when Soontir , who had achieved great fame as an Imperial pilot , was made a Baron of the Empire and given a massive estate on Corellia . All Soontir ' s relations were moved to the estate , where they lived in comfort . The Fels were joined there by Wynssa Starflare , Soontir ' s wife , and her two children , Chak and Davin . Fel was trusted with the dangerous knowledge that Starflare had been born Syal Antilles , and was the sister of Rebel Alliance hero Wedge Antilles . For that reason , Starflare had plans to flee if her identity was ever exposed to Ysanne Isard , the Director of Imperial Intelligence and a nemesis of Soontir Fel . Around nine months after the Battle of Endor , Soontir was captured by the New Republic in an engagement over Brentaal IV . Starflare , fearful of Imperial retaliation , took Chak and Davin and went into hiding . Kidnapping . Around ten months after the Battle of Endor , Fyric was kidnapped from the estate one morning , much to the Fel family ' s distress . Todr and his family quickly realized that it was an attempt to uncover the location of Starflare , and resolved to resist , even when the kidnappers gave them a meeting point . Corellian Security Force investigators Corran Horn and Iella Wessiri were assigned to the case and began investigating the grounds and interviewing the Fels . Later in the day , a group of three strangers came by the house , claiming to be friends ; Fel was called over by Horn , and the strangers ' use of " Wedge " convinced Fel that they were sent by Antilles to make contact . He suggested they come back later . As the strangers had given Fel their docking bay number , 385 , he sent Ajai to them , having her claim that she was angry that the Fels would not give up Starflare ' s location to save Fyric , and gave them a hologram of Fyric — one with a tracking device built in . Ajai claimed that she would give them Starflare if they could retrieve Fyric , and sent them to the rendezvous the kidnappers had arranged . During the meeting , Isplourrdacartha Estillo , one of the New Republic pilots Antilles had sent , gave the hologram to Ilir Post , the self - appointed nemesis of Soontir Fel and the leader of the kidnappers , backed by Imperial Intelligence . Fel used the tracker signal to travel to the remote estate Post was using as his hideout . He let the CorSec agents and Rogue Squadron pilots storm the estate , but Post appeared on a balcony , holding Fyric and threatening to kill the child if they did not leave . Fel , knowing that Fyric would eventually die if they did so , decided that while shooting Post would risk Fyric falling off the balcony , it was less risky than letting Post live . From the woods , he lined up a sniper shot that took Post directly in the forehead , killing him instantly . Fyric tumbled over the edge , but was saved by Estillo ' s diving catch . Fel was waiting when the group came back to the woods , and gladly accepted his son back , explaining how he had tracked Post . Wes Janson , one of the Rogue pilots , tried to persuade Fel that he and his family should take refuge in the New Republic , now that Soontir had defected to them and was flying for Rogue Squadron . Fel spoke with the rest of his family , and it was decided that he and Ajai should take Fyric to the New Republic and out of danger . The next day , they packed up and flew from Corellia with the Rogues . They came under attack by mercenaries working for Imperial Intelligence on their way out , but timely assistance by Horn allowed them to escape safely . Personality and traits . Todr Fel was devoted to his family , willing to take risks and suffer hardships for the members of his clan , with whom he was quite close . He was also willing to take incredible gambles when he felt they were the best option available to him , as when he shot Ilir Post . While his brother was a hero of the Galactic Empire , Fel himself was somewhat more dubious of the institution , regarding it as dishonest and simply using his brother under false pretenses . Behind the scenes . Todr Fel first appeared in " " anonymously , as Soontir Fel ' s younger brother . In the next two issues , comprising the " " arc , he appeared as an adult and was named . Both comics were written by Michael A . Stackpole , the creator of both Todr Fel and his more famous brother Soontir .
