Ran Niall, a man who once served as a captain in the Imperial Navy of the Human Imperial regime, later became a Rebel defector. The catalyst for his change of heart was witnessing the Empire's brutal atrocities on Mon Cala. This led him to betray the Empire and enlist with the Rebel Alliance. He imparted his knowledge and skills to Setenna Hase and Danel Qurno as their mentor. Ultimately, Ran met his end during the Battle of the Gauntlet, perishing in an explosion after being abandoned on the Arda I Rebel base.
The Ardan resistance's arrival on Jagomir stirred feelings of regret and sorrow for Ran. The people recalled his stern but caring approach when a charming rebel attempted to extract information from others.
