Kourterel, a Galactic Empire lieutenant, maintained a family on the planet Vanzeist, which included his child. During the year 3 ABY, Verge, a Prelate within the Imperial Ruling Council, inquired about Kourterel's child while aboard the Herald, an _Imperial_-class Star Destroyer. Furthermore, Verge assured the lieutenant that a squad of stormtroopers would safeguard his family from rebels situated on Vanzeist. Captain Tabor Seitaron, who was in communication with Verge at that time, subsequently remembered Verge's assurance concerning Kourterel's family when reflecting on his interactions with the prelate.
The 2015 novel Battlefront: Twilight Company, authored by Alexander Freed, included a reference to Kourterel's family.
