Biography[]
Quiggold was an alien member of the Gabdorin race. He was squat, broad-shouldered, wore a simple brown hooded tunic and had a metal "peg-leg" prosthetic in place of his missing left leg. He worked as a pirate and was first mate to Sidon Ithano.
Quiggold and Sidon had traveled to the castle of Maz Kanata on the planet Takodana some thirty years after the Battle of Endor. A man named Finn, who was a defector of the First Order bargained with Quiggold and Sidon for passage to the Outer Rim Territories, so he could get as far away from the First Order's influence as possible.
