Revald was a Republic Navy admiral of the male persuasion, and of the Human species. During the Cold War that pitted the Republic against the recounstituted Sith Empire, he performed his duties on the frigid world of Hoth.
His command oversaw an operation focused on the retrieval and securing of the Null Cannon. This superweapon was a fearsome device, capable of disabling all electronic systems within its range with a solitary blast. The necessary components for this weapon were obtained from the wreckage of the Vehement Sword, a downed Republic capital ship.
