Mdel was a Kadrillian Nociv at the time of Darth Vader's attempt to conquer Kadril in 1 ABY.
Mdel was an older Kadrillian and the village's eldest of a Nociv village of which also Deerna was a member. Rodno, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, warned the Nocivs for an ongoing attack by stormtroopers with Pacifog. Darth Vader wanted to collect all on Kadril and these stocks were located in the Nociv area.
Despite the warning, Mdel died during the attack with the Pacifog. Already dying he advised the Nociv to fight against the Empire with Han and Luke. Mdel was ritually buried on the Hom Mounds.
