Adol Bel was a Human of the male gender, acting as the chief executive of Xucphra Corporation in the concluding years of the Galactic Republic.
Under Adol Bel's oversight, Xucphra Corporation became the Stark Commercial Combine, a result of numerous outer rim criminals uniting with a trade organization headed by smuggler Iaco Stark. Bel orchestrated a fake explosion at the company's processing centers, thereby fabricating a perceived bacta deficiency. By feigning a two-thirds reduction in the production of the medicinal substance, he enabled a sharp increase in its price, generating significant personal wealth. The Trade Federation Viceroy, Hask, was aware of Adol Bel's scheme. This situation ultimately precipitated the Stark Hyperspace War.
As the war progressed, Adol Bel's discontent with Iaco Stark grew when Stark deployed a navcomputer virus, blocking all ships from accessing hyperspace routes. This action prevented Bel from moving his large surplus of bacta.
