Kikow, an Ithorian of light complexion, departed from his Ithorian herdship when he was quite young, ultimately making his home on Ralltiir. Gifted with an exceptional sense of smell and being an excellent chef, he operated a restaurant and also engaged in the trade of culinary herbs and spices. Nevertheless, this was merely a facade for his illicit activities. He led a small, exclusively Ithorian group known as the Herd, which was involved in the smuggling of thermal detonators. Kikow collaborated with the Wookiee Furellas, patterning his organization after her more extensive operation. While he would never inflict harm upon another Ithorian, he held no such reservations regarding individuals of other species.
