Archel Samules was a Force attuned private investigator who began his career with the Duly Detective Agency. Born around 13,040 BBY, the Jedi did not find him fit for training due to the fact that his midi-chlorian count was too low. Regardless, he developed the skill to notice and remember details, which many analysts believed was Force related. He graduated from the Coruscant College of Criminology with top honors, and received offers from multiple agencies for work. When he began work with the Duly Detective Agency, his only task was to help with the cXe case. After several years of unsuccessful work, Archel and Vencit, the agency's founder, finally captured Shadan Katsure. The serial killer died in prison by an unknown assassin's hands.
