Biography
- "Look out!"
- ―Mithel's last words to Darth Vader
In his youth, Mithel honed his skills poaching Bothan sky dragons in his father's T-16 skyhopper.
Mauler had a son named Rejlii Mithel, who became a tractor beam operator on the Chimaera. He kept a holo of Rejlii on the control yoke of his TIE fighter.
He had achieved twenty-seven Rebel kills prior to the Battle of Yavin, and he marked them by flames painted on the hull of his fighter.
Mithel's fighter collided with Vader's TIE Advanced x1 when the Millennium Falcon entered the battle. Vader was sent spinning into deep space, while Mithel was killed when his fighter impacted against the trench wall.
