Chellwinark Frethylrin

Chellwinark Frethylrin, also known as Chell and Fret, was a female Keshiri who served in the Galactic Empire during the Imperial Era as an analyst. While she was in training, she met Irei, a female Kadas'sa'Nikto apprenticing at her parents' droid repair shop, and the two girls fell in love. Irei revealed that she was Force-sensitive, and her fears about the Empire discovering her began changing Frethylrin's perspective. By altering records, Frethylrin attempted to conceal Irei's existence from the Empire, but she refused to leave it and go into hiding with Irei. When the repair shop burned down, Frethylrin believed Irei had died with it.

For the next three years, Frethylrin continued working for the Empire while refining her data manipulation skills. After hearing rumors about the Shroud, a device Irei had been designing to hide them, the Imperial analyst made contact with the wealthy Omwati Qeris Lar. He concealed his knowledge of Irei's survival and capture by the Empire, instead convincing Frethylrin to seek out the crew of the Stinger Mantis—Cal Kestis, Cere Junda, Greez Dritus, and Merrin—to retrieve the Shroud's schematics. Frethylrin stole a suit of stormtrooper armor and arranged things to encounter the crew when they were infiltrating a Haxion Brood base and get taken aboard the Stinger Mantis. She and the Nightsister Merrin were immediately drawn to each other, but the others were suspicious about her. Claiming she had already deserted the Empire, she said she had a job to pay them back that would help in their fight against the Empire.

After traveling to Hosnian Prime to meet Lar, he directed them to seek the schematics on Murkhana and to hurry because the Inquisitorius also sought them. Frethylrin did not reveal the extent of her personal connection to the device. The crew decided the Shroud was too powerful to leave with the Empire. While en route to Murkhana, Frethylrin and Merrin became lovers and the Keshiri woman confessed that she was still active with the Empire to retain access to their systems. Merrin decided to keep the secret. After Kestis, Merrin, and Frethylrin broke into the prison where the Shroud's plans were supposedly located, they instead discovered Irei, alive and imprisoned; the schematics were in her memory. Frethylrin attempted to safely guide Irei to the Stinger Mantis without Merrin and Kestis, who was fighting the Fifth Brother, but Irei was seriously injured on the way and the pilot Dritus lost an arm to the Inquisitor. Despite Merrin's heartbreak, she healed the Nikto with her magick. The crew then demanded the truth from Frethylrin and she told them her story. After two days of recuperating on Zimara, during which Merrin and Frethylrin decided to remain friends, Irei agreed with the crew and her ex-girlfriend that Lar could not be trusted with her designs.

Frethylrin wore makeshift armor when she, Irei, Merrin, and Kestis met with Lar. As anticipated, he attempted to alter the deal and shot Frethylrin when she rejected his terms. She was knocked unconscious and came to after a battle. While recovering on the Stinger Mantis, Frethylrin asked Merrin on behalf of herself and Irei if Merrin would join them, but the Nightsister's place was with her family on the ship. The Stinger Mantis dropped Irei and Frethylrin off on Zimara.
