Egil, a male human, held the position of leader for the Scyre clan, the same clan to which Phasma belonged, on the planet Parnassos. As the clan's most senior member, he passed away at 40 years old, exceeding the typical lifespan by 5 standard years. Before the year 22 ABY, he served as a trainer to both Phasma and Porr. As his age advanced and his strength diminished, the Scyre clan members began to perceive him as unsuitable for leadership. Capitalizing on this sentiment, Porr committed an act of murder against him while he slept in the Nautilus.
