Yerlad was a male individual who served the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. After Yerlad killed five men who were affiliated with the Galactic Empire, a bounty was placed on his head and he was captured by the bounty hunter Malis. Yerlad was left with scars as a result of his encounter with Malis, making him fearful of all bounty hunters. Malis later spoke about Yerlad during an interview with the Sektor 242 NewsLine journalist Rengor Vanth.
