Veild-danol was a male Yarkora independent merchant who operated a regular trading route on the edges of the Kathol sector in the Outer Rim Territories during the early years of the New Republic. For many years, he was the only regular source of contact between a large number of planets and the outside galaxy, and he amassed a great deal of knowledge about the Kathol sector. A collector of religious artifacts, Veild-danol occasionally used his standing amongst local communities to acquire new pieces for his collection.
