Forridel, a Human male, was a prominent figure in the resistance movement. After the Galactic Alliance successfully liberated Corulag from the control of the Yuuzhan Vong in 29 ABY, he declared himself the Governor of the planet. Following the execution of the former governor by resistance fighters, Forridel was formally appointed to the position. Almost immediately, he sent intelligence from Corulag to General Wedge Antilles, notably details about individuals involved with the Peace Brigade. His appearance included an eyepatch and a slouchy hat, giving him the look of a character from a holovid.
