Kolovish, a Twi'lek pilgrim of the Rutian variety and female, resided illicitly on Tython. She also held membership within the Star Cabal during the Cold War that transpired between the Galactic Republic and the resurgent Sith Empire. Having previously served as the leader and Matriarch for the pilgrims, Kolovish has since retired and currently inhabits an age-old tower situated in the mountains.
Being a female Twi'lek, Kolovish functioned as the Matriarch for a group of Twi'lek Pilgrims. These pilgrims followed her to the world of Tython following the Great Galactic War. Kolovish aided in the founding of Kalikori village, imparting her wisdom to her followers and coexisting with them for almost two decades. Subsequently, she relinquished her responsibilities, departed from the village, and established her residence within an ancient stone tower located higher up in the mountains. Padawans belonging to the nearby Temple of the Jedi Order's frequently sought out the Matriarch, requesting her blessings before they finished their training.
Around the commencement of the Galactic War, Imperial Intelligence discovered Kolovish's affiliation with the Star Cabal, an organization opposed to both the Jedi and the Sith.
Kolovish, as a leader to the exiled Twi'lek Pilgrims of Tython, noticed that numerous Jedi arriving on their new homeworld were unable to complete the rites of her people. Despite this, the former Matriarch offered a warm welcome to those who ascended the Kalikori path, even to those who recognized their allegiance to the Jedi Order over the Pilgrims.
