Shaelas was a Selkath who lived in Ahto City on Manaan. During the Jedi Civil War his daughter went missing and Shaelas asked Revan to find her, or discover what had happened to her. Revan came back with news that his daughter and many other Selkath youth had been taken by the Sith and deceived in an effort to brainwash the young generation into supporting the Sith.
