Chella is Table Three's Pyramid dealer on the Rising Star starliner and frequent spectator to the Triad tournaments.

He discovers the well-disliked Flight Sergeant Ortega shot dead between an ajar door. Chella accuses Starbuck of the crime, saying that the warrior was rushing out of the scene of the crime, and was certainly irritated. (Of course, Starbuck was catching up to meet Cassiopeia before she left on the next transport out.)

Upon information given in the testimonial of Flight Sergeant Barton, defenders Apollo and Boomer visit Chella and discover that Ortega was blackmailing him.

Chella also reveals that his prior profession was an administrator of Solius and he let people believe that Riftis -- his real name -- was dead. He was to board the freighter Piscon, but missed the transport due to his fears of death at Cylon hands. With 8,000 cubits, he bribed his way on the Rising Star via the Flight Sergeant; the Star being loaded with caretakers and juveniles that could be brought to the Fleet.

Although a suspect, he is later found to be innocent of murdering Ortega, and is relieved that the truth is finally out in the open. He now has some comfort, for he felt responsible for the death of one child -- the child that would have otherwise taken his spot (Murder on the Rising Star).
