Tarneel, a male Human, served as the leader of the Peace Brigade situated on Ord Sedra. In the course of the Battle of Ord Sedra, Kyle Katarn used telekinesis to hurl him away, resulting in his capture. His fate during the Yuuzhan Vong prison escape remains a mystery.
Despite the comic lacking a name for him, the script identified him as Tarneel. The character's moniker was given by writer Nathan Butler, who drew inspiration from the Tar Heels.
