Kinalos was a New Republic soldier who served during the Imperial Civil War. He fought in a squad with Sergeant Samels and Varshin. Prior to the Imperial Civil War, he lived in unit 2-C, an apartment in a residential building on Coruscant. He had at least two sons, a daughter named Henia, and a partner named Tanne. After clearing Stormtroopers from his old home, Kinalos burned the building. He later wrote about his experiences in The Year of Rage: A Citizen’s History of the Coruscant Wars.
