The male Gran Kol Kotha led a dangerous life, and years of piracy and smuggling had hardened him. His dealing of illegal arms in the Outer Rim attracted the attention of Borvo the Hutt on Naboo. In need of Kol’s extensive weapons knowledge and piloting skills, Borvo hired him as a mercenary. Afterwards Kol assisted in freeing several more officers and pilots from Camp Four in order to increase the resistance movement against the Trade Federation. He continued to fight along side Sykes and the Naboo until the Federation was eventually defeated.
