Quinlan Vos

"There is more than one way to focus your mind, Aayla. Surrender yourself to your desires. Walk a little closer to the shadows."

- Quinlan Vos

Quinlan Vos, also known as Quin, was a male Kiffar from Kiffu who served as a Jedi Master in the Jedi Order of the Galactic Republic, and a Jedi General during the Clone Wars. Trained by Tholme, Quinlan was a maverick Jedi whose unorthodox training of Aayla Secura led to carnal intimacy between master and student. They conducted missions in the underworld, and Vos established a spy network during the Clone Wars. He fell for Asajj Ventress on a mission to assassinate Dooku, and became her lover before her death. He was believed to have survived Order 66.

Life as a Jedi
"We've all heard Bultar's dirty laugh coming from Master Koon's quarters. And not just laughter. Those throaty moans the old Kel Dor squeezes out of her do more to shape younglings into Padawans than any lecture by Professor Huyang."

- Quinlan Vos, on Bultar Swan and Plo Koon

Born on Kiffu, Quinlan Vos was a member of the Kiffar Clan Vos, and became a Jedi Master. He was trained by Master Tholme, and was noted for his psychometric abilities that allowed him to "read" objects. He often heard Bultar Swan's dirty laugh and throaty moans coming from Plo Koon's quarters, believing that the sounds did more to shape younglings into Padawans than Professor Huyang's lectures.

Vos was a maverick who had connections to the galactic underworld, into which he conducted missions. During one mission, he encountered the beautiful Twi'lek Aayla Secura and took her as his Padawan, teaching her the ways of the Force and training her with Tholme. Vos and Secura formed a close bond and a relationship that made him the envy of many young Jedi during the carnal aspect of her unorthodox training. The master-apprentice pair were drugged while in the underworld, and Secura was forced to languish as a slave girl in Lessu on Ryloth until Vos rescued her.

The Clone Wars
"The hidden records in the Sheyf's Palace on Kiffex say that one of our clan members was a Jedi Master during your time. He was on Kashyyyk when the war ended&mdash;but the Archives of the Empire didn't leave any hints about what happened to him."

- Lensa Vos, to Kix

Vos served as a General in the Clone Wars, and had a reputation for being anti-clone. However, clone troopers who served with him disputed the idea as propaganda disseminated by a hack journalist. Although the clone trooper medic Kix never met General Vos personally, he heard a number of stories about him told by Captain Rex during a drinking session in the Coruscant clone bar 79's. He and Tholme used their undercover spy network to help coordinate communication between the Jedi High Council and Dooku.

In the final year of the conflict, Vos embarked on a mission to assassinate Dooku, and became drawn to Asajj Ventress, Dooku's former acolyte, after meeting her while undercover on Pantora. Ventress considered him attractive enough to partner with on several hunts, and he learned how she used her feminine wiles as a bounty hunter, even learning some of her sexually-charged techniques himself. Vos became close enough with her to reveal his true identity, and began training as her dark disciple, facing rigorous trials on Dathomir. He remained tempted by the alluring dark-sider until they consummated their growing desire. Making a powerful couple in their heated trysts on Dathomir and elsewhere, they fell in love, though Dooku played them against each other. Ventress made a deal with Bossk to assist in locating Quinlan, letting the Trandoshan take her ass. However, Ventress sacrificed herself to save Vos in a final confrontation with Dooku on Christophsis, and Vos buried her according to the traditions of the Nightsisters. Vos's closeness with Ventress resulted in Aayla redoubling her war efforts rather than her carnal pursuits.

Vos returned to the Jedi, and joined Yoda and Luminara Unduli to repel the Separatist Alliance on Kashyyyk, coordinating with Chieftain Tarfful. Order 66 was executed at the end of the battle, and though Vos was on Kashyyyk when the war ended, he survived Order 66.

Legacy
"We of Clan Vos take the question of his fate and celebration of his memory very seriously, even if the rest of the galaxy seems like they've completely forgotten the Jedi and the Clone Wars."

- Lensa Vos

The Imperial archives left no hints as to what happened to Vos when the Clone Wars ended, though hidden records in the Sheyf's Palace on Kiffex kept information about him.

Crimson Dawn capo Dryden Vos refuted Governor Diles Anevi's suggestion that he was related to Quinlan, strongly denying a connection to him or his clan, which Anevi accepted.

During the Resistance Era, Clan Vos members like Lensa Vos remembered Quinlan's history at a time when the galaxy seemed to have forgotten the Jedi and the Clone Wars they fought in. Lensa and her clan members took the question of his fate, and the celebration of his memory, seriously.

Physical appearance and biology
"No, as you well know, I am not a Kiffar, and therefore I am certainly not related to Quinlan Vos, nor indeed a member of Clan Vos, despite persistent rumors to the contrary."

- Dryden Vos, to Diles Anevi

Quinlan Vos was a male Kiffar from Kiffu, and stood at 1.91 meters tall.

Personality and traits

He had a reputation for being anti-clone, although some of the clone troopers who served with him disputed this as mere propaganda.

Vos had ability in the Force, allowing him to "read" objects through psychometry, though he walked closer to the dark side of the Force than many other Jedi, his flirtations with the darkness leaving him troubled. He made a powerful couple with Asajj Ventress, though she remained unsure whether she could trust him.
