Mafole, a Chiss female, held the position of the fourth caregiver for the sky-walker named Al'iastov. Al'iastov was a young girl who used her Third Sight ability to navigate the space beyond the Chiss Ascendancy's governmental boundaries. She assumed this role after the previous caregiver was removed from the position. In the year 39 BBY, Mafole and Al'iastov were stationed on the Tomra, a Chiss Defense Force Transport.
Because the ship remained within the Ascendancy's borders, it lacked a sky-walker suite. Instead, Mafole and Al'iastov were assigned space within the captain's quarters. The caregiver voiced her dissatisfaction about the absence of a suite to Junior Captain Vorlip, the ship's captain, which led to a disagreement. Subsequently, Mafole remained in the captain's quarters until the Tomra arrived at the planet Naporar. She instructed her sky-walker to travel unaccompanied between the bridge and Vorlip's quarters. Later, Al'iastov and Mafole were requested to join the junior captain in her office to complete some paperwork.
The character of Mafole appears in Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising, a 2020 novel. This book represents the initial installment of The Ascendancy Trilogy by Timothy Zahn.
