Loerelai Loer is the Priestess and current leader of the Zirellan pilgrims, the last surviving group of the Zirel people.
She led her pilgrims toward their holy land, Shambleau, the legendary Celestial Ark of the ancient Archelias civilization. They remained hidden there, often leading potential invaders to their world to strand them and turn them on each other.
Eventually, Loer led the Earth space battleship Yamato and the Garmillan 8th Security Fleet to Shambleau, starting a series of events that would eventually convince her and her people to reactivate the Ark and abandon their reclusive ways.
Biography[]

Loerelai Loer was born sometime prior between 2188 and 2199 when the planet Zirel, homeworld of the Zirellans, was destroyed by neighboring species that feared the Zirellans due to their psychic abilities. The vast majority of the Zirel was wiped out with only two young girls surviving and being taken prisoners by Garmillas, however a group of pilgrims lead by the young priestess Loerelai Loer had managed to avoid the extermination of their species; they traveled off world towards Shambleau, which they regarded as their sacred Holy Land.
There Loerelai Loer and the pilgrims found their new home where they decided to live in isolation from the rest of the universe. In the following years the Gatlantis Empire sent various expeditions with the objective of capturing the Ark, in order to protect themselves the pilgrims adopted the strategy of trapping the invaders on the planet's surface, then, through the usage of illusions, they made them go insane and turn on one another.
