Kourterel was a lieutenant within the ranks of the Galactic Empire, identified as male. Located on the planet Vanzeist, he maintained a family and had a child. In the year 3 ABY, Verge, a Prelate sitting on the Imperial Ruling Council, inquired about the wellbeing of his child. While aboard the Herald, Prelate Verge's Imperial-class Star Destroyer, he assured Kourterel that a unit of stormtroopers would guarantee his family's safety against the threat of rebels. Captain Tabor Seitaron, an officer and instructor of military history at Carida Academy, later brought up Verge's assurance to Kourterel when discussing Verge's character, reflecting on their shared time.
Alexander Freed included Kourterel in his 2015 published novel, Battlefront: Twilight Company.
