Frid Kelio was a male Rodian who played striker for the Junior Academy of Applied Sciences' grav-ball team, the AppSci SaberCats. Kelio was eventually transferred to the Technical Institute for Agricultural Research by Athletic Director Janus Fhurek, who claimed that being nonhuman gave the SaberCats an unfair advantage. During the summer holidays, Frid helped his former team player Zare Leonis to get back in contact with Beck Ollet, another former grav-ball player who had joined a resistance cell on Lothal.
