The family of Lauren Mel Coelho was a farming family on Tangenine. They owned a farm but were extorted by the Malandro syndicate. When Remba failed to pay, the Falleen Gangster Annaz came and killed her and Kelven. Their children Lauren Mel Coelho and Julien went to live with their gran until she died of a fever. When Julien fell ill, Lauren took a job to pay for a treatment but got caught and landed in jail. Julien died in the meantime. When Lauren came free, she became a bounty hunter under the alias Brand and took jobs for the Galactic Empire when they came to Tangenine. She always went for members of the Malandro syndicate and eventually killed Annaz herself avenging her family.[1]
Brand came to join the Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry after taking a bounty on their Captain Micha Evon who convinced her to stay. She fought with them in notable battle such as the Siege of Inyusu Tor.[2]
