El'ar was a governmental minister on planet Damiano. Sometime prior to 2371, El'ar was investigated for illegal activities, and was subsequently removed from office. Many credited political commentator Je'tran T'ullh for El'ar's downfall, despite the investigative efforts of Du're C'ullho and the Iaron City Police.
