- Hennah: "We don't need anything from you, Jedi. This is a gift, freely given. Offered in gratitude as we set out on our journey."
- Loden Greatstorm: "Gratitude for what? And where are you going?"
- Argeel: "We're grateful because the tavern's got a new roof."
- ―Hennah, Loden Greatstorm, and Argeel on Teriona[1]
Argeel was a Terionese man who lived in the settlement of Strop's End on the planet Teriona. Between around 234 BBY and 232 BBY, they appreciated the efforts of Jedi Master Loden Greatstorm and his Padawan, Bell Zettifar, to help the community of Strop's End. Led by the teacher Hennah, they and several other Terionese gave them gift baskets and informed the pair of their intent to tell other settlements about the peaceful way of life the Jedi had introduced them to, compared to the planet's usual state of strife.
Biography[]
- "We're going to visit a few other settlements near here, talk to them about how we've been living. Not sure we'd have seen it if you two hadn't come around. Be well, Jedi."
- ―Hennah to Loden Greatstorm and Bell Zettifar, on behalf of Argeel and a group of Terionese
Argeel appreciated Loden Greatstorm and Bell Zettifar's efforts to help the Strop's End community.
The Terionese man Argeel lived in the Strop's End settlement on their homeworld, the planet Teriona, during the High Republic Era. By that time, Teriona was in a constant state of conflict, and they became well accustomed to war and its accompanying local skirmishes and battles as part of life. At some point, Argeel became familiar with the settlement's local tavern.[1]
Between around 234 BBY and 232 BBY,[2] Jedi Master Loden Greatstorm and his Padawan, Bell Zettifar, visited Teriona on a mission and repaired the roof of a tavern in Strop's End. Though initially wary of the offworlders, the man eventually appreciated the Jedi as they continued to help several people within the community and promote a peaceful way of life. Led by the teacher Hennah, Argeel and some Strop's End residents visited Greatstorm and Zettifar to offer them baskets of food and beverages as a gift. Hennah informed the Jedi that their group intended to let other nearby settlements know about how the Jedi had taught them to live—without as much strife—and Argeel indicated that they were grateful the pair had fixed the local tavern's roof.[1]
Personality and traits[]
As a Terionese native, Argeel was used to reprisals and violence as part of everyday life. However, they eventually came to enjoy the peace the Jedi brought to Teriona and were willing to follow Hennah to give the pair gifts as thanks.[1]

Argeel appeared in a flashback in the short story "All Jedi Walk Their Own Path," written by Charles Soule and published in the 2023 young-adult anthology The High Republic: Tales of Light and Life as a part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project.[1]
