Kharl

Kharl was a human male from the Mid Rim planet Naboo. He joined the Torada Collective, an organization of artists who felt they did not fit in on their homeworld. Due to Kharl's medical condition—which caused him chronic pain and required him to use exoskeletal braces and canes—he chose to relocate with four other Torada Collective artists to an artist commune on the Outer Rim planet Nooroyo so he could access medicinal-grade spice to alleviate his pain.

In 22 BBY, Senator Padmé Amidala and her secret paramour, Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker, traveled to Nooroyo to bring the five artists home to Naboo at the behest of Queen Jamillia and the artists' parents. Kharl met with the pair at the request of the commune's owner, the woman Celena, but refused to leave the world and explained his reasons for coming to the planet. Ultimately, after realizing Amidala was in danger due to the Separatist presence on the planet, the Naboo artist brought Jamillia's sister—the artist Antraya—to flee with them aboard their Nubian yacht, while himself remaining on Nooroyo with the other three artists.
