Merritt Rineld, a Count from Dubrillion, was a male figure prominent in the era of the Cold War that existed between the Galactic Republic and the newly resurgent Sith Empire. His aim was to supplant Actavarus III, the then-reigning king of Dubrillion, and to reinstate the Drayen dynasty by taking Risha Drayen as his wife.
The King had him murdered at some point prior to the sacking of Dubrillion.
