Who is Vel Sartha?
Vel Sartha was introduced during Andor Episode 4 as a new character in Star Wars lore, played by Faye Marsay.
Described as a human female who encountered Senator Mon Mothma during the Imperial Era, Vel debuts in Andor as leader of Luthen’s small rebellion dwelling on Aldhani.
Vel is responsible for integrating Cassian into the heist plan to steal the Imperial’s payroll during the Eye of Aldhani and keeping her teammates in check.

Faye Marsay is an English actor whose credited career began in 2008 with the movie Is That It?.
Marsay later bagged recurring roles in television shows The White Queen, Fresh Meat, and The Bletchley Circle.
