Mersh Pellus was a male human scientist who served as a "boffin" aboard the Resistance starship Ninka, under Admiral Amilyn Holdo, during the war against the First Order. At the time, Pellus was already very old, sporting a long white beard and a manual magnilenses without which he could not see. Although brilliant, he was also very absent-minded, which is why Holdo had programmed a butler droid, SE-4Z, to watch after him.[1]
