Elyas Caran was a Human male emissary serving the Galactic Alliance. In 43.5 ABY, Caran was sent to the planet Mon Calamari to escort ex-Admiral Cha Niathal to Coruscant to stand trial for dereliction of duty during the Second Galactic Civil War. However, upon his arrival, it was discovered that Niathal had committed suicide. Caran reported Niathal's death to Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala, who instructed him to bring Niathal to Coruscant for a funeral.
