Quillin Durand, a celebrated figure among the Velabri species, played a crucial role during the evacuation of Velabri. A transport vessel, carrying Durand's loved ones, was spared from annihilation at the hands of the invading Imperial fleet thanks to a starfighter being piloted by Airen Cracken. In response, Durand pledged a Velabri Bloodvow to settle this life-debt. Following Durand's untimely death, the Bloodvow was inherited by his oldest offspring, Quillin Arkell.
