A male Quesoth from the planet Quethold, his homeworld, was a member of the Circling caste. This caste served as advisors to the Queen of the Red, who ruled in 8 ABY. This particular male Quesoth intercepted Trevik, the Queen's bowlcarrier, while Trevik, a member of the Midli caste, was on his way home carrying a bowl of nectar for the Queen.
The Circling took the bowlcarrier to a Midli residence that was nearby. Along with Jirvin, Trevik's brother, they instructed the bowlcarrier to use a holocam to make recordings of several paintings found within the [Dwelling of Guests]((/article/dwelling_of_guests) building. This building had been brought there by the alien warlord Nuso Esva. They persuaded the bowlcarrier by explaining that if Grand Admiral Thrawn could determine, through studying the art, whether the Quesoth monarch was a tool or an ally of Esva's, no action would be taken against her. Trevik then departed and followed their instructions. The Circling communicated using Quesoth Common Speak.
The Circling made an appearance in the 2011 novella titled Crisis of Faith. This novella was authored by Timothy Zahn and was included in Heir to the Empire: The 20th Anniversary Edition.
