Regald Coll was a human male Jedi Knight of the Jedi Order during the time of the High Republic Era. He had a sense of humor that he believed was unappreciated by most other members of the Order. Coll served in the conflict against the Nihil marauders, during which the Jedi attempted a number of missions and strikes against the Nihil.
During the High Republic Era, Regald Coll was a Jedi of the Jedi Order, attaining the rank of Jedi Knight. He had worked in the Jedi crèche supervising younglings. Coll was active during the Order's conflict with the Nihil marauder organization. In the months following the Nihil's attack on Valo, Jedi Master Avar Kriss secretly proposed to have Jedi Knights Keeve Trennis and Terec infiltrate the marauders. In doing so, Kriss set up a skirmish in the Soola system, making it appear as if the two Knights, aboard a stolen Nihil Stormship, had come under attack from the Jedi starcruiser Ataraxia and its Jedi Vector complement. Coll was among the Jedi who piloted the Ataraxias Vectors in , commanded by Drift Leader Sskeer. After the Nihil responded to Trennis and Terec's falsified distress signal, attaching magclamps to their Stormship and escaping into hyperspace, Kriss ordered the Vectors to report in. Coll and the other Jedi responded, returning to the Ataraxia.
Coll was later present when Chancey Yarrow and Nan were caught near a Nihil fleet during a on the Nihil in the Ocktai system. As the two had not been confirmed to be Nihil themselves, Coll expected to only question them, though their affiliation was revealed after Nan pulled a blaster on the Jedi. Coll spoke to the prisoners as they were transported to the Starlight Beacon space station aboard a Longbeam cruiser; Nan claimed that she and Yarrow worked independently and had not been members of the Nihil for months, but Coll was suspicious, telling the prisoners that they would need to prove their claims before they could go free. After arriving at Starlight, Coll led Nan and Yarrow away. Coll later spoke to Master Stellan Gios, who he cautioned to wait before questioning the two, believing that the lack of rescue by their Nihil comrades would make them more eager to talk. He informed Gios of Nan's claims; though Coll expressed his doubt about whether she had told the truth, Gios believed that they could gain insight into their reasons for leaving the Nihil.
After landing on Starlight Beacon, Coll assisted with aiding the refugees that had flocked to the station. He and the other Jedi found themselves affected by something that was sapping their strength and connection to the Force. Along with Orla Jareni and Indeera Stokes, he investigated the main cargo bay. During his exploration, he contacted the other Jedi via comlink, pleading for help. Before they could arrive, he was killed by the Nameless that had been smuggled aboard by the Nihil. His body was reduced to an ashy, desiccated corpse.
Regald Coll had a sense of humor that was unlike that of most of his fellow Jedi, though he admitted that he was likely not as comedic as he thought. Non-Jedi often affirmed his sense of humor, but he believed that most other members of the Order were too humorless to appreciate it. He even joked in the presence of the prisoners Nan and Yarrow, supposed members of the Nihil. During the Order's campaign against the Nihil, Coll missed the time when he had worked in the Jedi crèche.
During the staged skirmish in the Soola system, Coll piloted a Jedi Vector starfighter.
Regald Coll was created for the Star Wars: The High Republic publishing initiative. He was introduced, albeit only identified by his surname, in the ninth issue of the comic series of the same name, written by Cavan Scott and published by Marvel Comics on September 1, 2021. He later featured in the 2022 novel The High Republic: The Fallen Star, written by Claudia Gray, which revealed his forename of Regald.
