Tal was a Human male nurse. He was employed at a medical facility located on Coruscant, the galactic capital planet. His employment occurred in the time soon after the Sacking of Coruscant which happened in 3653 BBY. During Tal's shift, Eleena Daru, a Twi'lek who was the lover of the Sith Lord known as Darth Malgus, was a patient at the medical facility. When Malgus arrived to retrieve Daru, Tal attempted to intervene. However, a female nurse cautioned Tal that Malgus was a Sith, causing him to back down and permit Malgus to depart with Daru.
Paul S. Kemp penned the novel The Old Republic: Deceived, in which Tal appears. Its initial publication date was March 22, 2011.
