Legend

this man was born into an enster family on the planet Corellia, many decades before the Clone Wars. However, his marriage to Feleema - an ekster woman - led to his exile from his own family, an exile he gladly accepted to be with the woman he loved. Some sixty years before the Clone Wars, Erel and Feleema were married. The couple traveled to Coruscant when Erel began his military career. Unfortunately, they only had about six years of marriage before she was killed in an accident, leaving Kersos without any family whatsoever. He threw himself into a military career, and eventually rose to the rank of Admiral in the Old Republic's command structure when the Clone Wars broke out. He was dispatched to the planet Drongar to replace Tarnese Bleyd, and was surprised to find his own great-nephew, Jos Vondar, serving at Rimsoo Seven. Kersos was Vondar's mother's uncle, so their relationship was not close, but Jos was nonetheless aware of Kersos' exile. When Kersos discovered Jos' love for Tolk le Trene, he set out to make sure Jos knew about the implications of their relationship. Despite his own life story, Erel was unable to convince Jos of the great loss he would experience when he was exiled. Ultimately, Erel admitted that the six years he had spent with Feleema were worth more than 600 years with his family, despite the fact that he never got to see his nieces and nephews grow up. Erel decided to take another tack, and arranged for Tolk to be stationed on his MedStar vessel. The pair had another series of talks, and Tolk found herself wary of forcing Jos into such a position. Erel, however, realized that Jos was indeed serious, and simply wanted to make sure Tolk found out for herself. He then provided a taped recording of their discussion to Tolk, so that she knew of Jos' love as well. When Jos finally confronted Tolk and explained his love for her, she gladly agreed to continue their relationship. Although Jos was initially angry at his uncle, he eventually thanked Erel for his words. In the wake of the Battle of Drongar, Kersos requested a transfer to Borellos Base, on his homeworld of Corellia, with the intent of trying to make contact with his long-lost family.
