Koswee Alwos was a Falleen vigo of the Merquise Syndicate. He was the only vigo appointed by Tak Sakaros to survive the initial destruction of Ara Merquise's palace (he had been elsewhere at the time), and thus considered himself senior to the three replacement vigos appointed for those who had perished, though neither Merquise nor Sakaros saw him that way. Ambitious and grasping, Alwos was not trusted by Sakaros, but the Sith considered the Falleen an excellent point man for local businesses, able to extract every possible credit due to his greed.
