Legend

this young Balawai boy was one of five children rescued by Mace Windu from a lava flow in the jungle of Haruun Kal, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, when he traveled to the planet to locate Depa Billaba. Terrel was the oldest - at thirteen- of the group, and acted as their leader during their attempt to travel back to their camp in a steamcrawler after their original camp was overrun by the ULF. The steamcrawler had been caught in the lava, and Terrel stubbornly refused to allow Master Windu to rescue him, until Windu explained that three others were already safely under his control. Later, Terrel and his companions began tot hink that Windu was actually a bounty hunter, despite his obvious Korun appearance. Windu did nothing to change their opinion, since it maintained his true identity. When Pek Rankin and the rest of his group arrived to recover the children, one of the other parents revealed that Terrel's father had died in earlier fighting. Terrel, already distraught because of this, flew into a rage when Master Windu revealed that he was a Jedi, in an effort to defend the children from ULF attackers. In response to what he perceived to be deception and lies, Terrel used a blunt knife to maim Besh and Chalk, who had been in a state of thanatizine suspension. Unfortunately, this act of mindless aggression was discovered by Kar Vastor, who used his vibroshields to cut Terrel in two in retribution for his actions.
