The Anchorite sect was a religious organization that belived that life was based on suffering. It was alligned with the light side of the Force.

Belief
"My mind is flint-sharp. It is capable of seeing all the suffering of the waking world, just as it is sure to remember the Eremite's precepts on torment&mdash;"

- Kolob

Practice
"You told me that children were best when they were seen and not heard. You said that children were meant to be quiet and to serve. To kneel and to suffer and to not ask for a life of any merit, for service is reward enough."

- Gallius Rax resents Kolob for his austere upbringing

Kolob was an anchorite who lived an austere life on the planet Jakku. During the last years of the Galactic Republic, Kolob ran an orphanage at some distance away from the Plaintive Hand plateau and the Valley of the Eremite. He treated the orphans like servants and taught them that life was based on service and suffering. His young charges included Galli, Brev, Narawal, and Kateena.

Galli chose to serve the Sith Lord by guarding a secret excavation in the Valley of the Eremite.

Tashu remarked that Kolob was affiliated with the light side. He recalled that Kolob's predecessors had bound themselves to the Jedi a thousand years ago.
