Ghithra Dal, belonging to the Shaper caste among the Yuuzhan Vong, held the rank of Master Shaper. His assignment involved supervising the grafting process for Warmaster Tsavong Lah's novel radank forearm. Despite his efforts, the grafted arm exhibited persistent decay, a phenomenon Dal couldn't explain. The reality was that Dal, in collaboration with High Priest Takhaff Uul, was intentionally causing the arm's failure to manipulate the Warmaster. Nevertheless, Tsavong Lah harbored suspicions, fueled by information from Viqi Shesh. When Nen Yim uncovered the sabotage, Lah sought retribution. Aboard the shaper vessel Fu'ulanh, Tsavong Lah released rancors, which resulted in Dal's demise.
