Ghess

Ghess was a Trandoshan individual who served as the Record Keeper of the Ascendant cult that opposed the Sith during their reign of the galaxy. A member of the cult's Bar'leth Group, Ghess was given permission by Miril, a Chadra-Fan co-founder of the cult, to name everything within the Ascendant. At one point, Ghess and the Chadra-Fan visited an Ascendant temple on the astronomical object Pyrr IX to reconnect with Miril's former left hand, the Twi'lek Ilith. While there, the Sith's Darkseekers attacked the temple and Ilith was killed.

Sometime later, the Sith attacked the Ascendant at the cult's main temple on the planet Bar'leth. During the fight, Ghess tried to persuade Miril to escape, but she refused and told them to take the other members to safety. The attempt failed, as Ghess and the others were slaughtered by the Sith, and the Chadra-Fan sacrificed her life to kill the Sith and seal away the Spark Eternal artificial intelligence she had created. After the Spark was unsealed centuries later, the rogue archaeologist Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra witnessed memories of the Spark Eternal, including the actions of Ghess.
