Quinlan Vos / Legends Quinlan Vos , nicknamed Quin by those closest to him , was a Kiffar male Jedi Master who , despite walking perilously close to the dark side of the Force throughout his life , served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic in their final days . Born into Clan Vos , the ruling bloodline of the planet Kiffu , Vos possessed a strong sensitivity to the Force , one that nurtured in him an exceptional talent for psychometry . After Jedi Master Tholme discovered his Force sensitivity , Vos underwent initial Jedi training on his homeworld instead of at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant , as his people hoped to one day make him a Guardian of Kiffu . Yet everything changed for Vos after his power - seeking great - aunt , Tinté Vos , secretly sacrificed his parents — Guardians Quian and Pethros Vos — to Anzati vampires and then tricked him into psychometrically experiencing their murders . To master his subsequently acquired fear of Anzati , Vos began proper Jedi training as Tholme ' s Padawan learner , though the memory of his parents ' deaths spawned in him a darkness that he would never be able to vanquish . Vos took the lead in a number of missions and events , including the Stark Hyperspace War , and he eventually achieved Jedi Knighthood . He took a Padawan of his own , Aayla Secura , and they formed a close bond over their years of training . While investigating a glitteryll smuggling ring , the two were dosed with glitteryll and robbed of their memories , bringing Vos ever closer to the dark side . Finding an unlikely ally in the bounty hunter Vilmarh Grahrk , Vos returned to the Jedi Temple with help from Jedi Master Mace Windu to recover his forgotten training . Once Vos rescued Secura from the Anzati Dark Jedi Volfe Karkko , Secura resumed her own training under Tholme , though it was not long before Vos and Secura were again reunited . Their combined efforts in rescuing the heir to Ryloth ' s Clan Secura earned them elevations in the Jedi Order : Secura became a Jedi Knight , while Vos , who had by now overcome the loss of his memory , ascended to Jedi Mastery . After participating in the Battle of Geonosis , Vos turned down orders from the Jedi High Council to serve as a Jedi General in the resultant Clone Wars , instead opting to oversee a spy network that he had developed within the rising Confederacy of Independent Systems . Vos later turned to infiltrating the Confederacy , specifically Count Dooku ' s inner circle of disciples , to find the identity of the second Sith Lord who was eluding the Jedi . Vos ' s three - year gambit subjected him to constant tests for Dooku ' s trust , pitted him against his friends , and saw him commit several cold - blooded assassinations as he sought to justify his exploits . His deceptions persisted until the Siege of Saleucami in the war ' s final year , in which he renounced Dooku ' s fold once and for all and returned to the Jedi Order . Vos finally became a Jedi General and took up a command within the Grand Army of the Republic , only to be betrayed by his clone troopers during the Battle of Kashyyyk as part of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine ' s Order 66 , which branded all Jedi as traitors to the Republic . Thanks to aid from Vilmarh Grahrk , Vos survived the ambush and went into hiding with his lover , Khaleen Hentz , and their son , Korto Vos , to escape from the newly christened Galactic Empire . Biography . Early life . Quinlan Vos was the Force - sensitive son of Quian and Pethros Vos , members of Clan Vos , the rulers of Vos ' s homeworld of Kiffu . Vos was born with psychometric powers , and thus destined to become a Guardian like his parents . Most Kiffar had psychometric ability to some degree , but Vos ' s latent ability with the Force enhanced his own , and he was considered by many to be the best exemplar of that ability that had ever lived . Initially , Vos ' s people were unwilling to give him up to the Jedi Order , as that would require him to relocate to Coruscant , cutting him off from his homeworld . As a compromise , Jedi Watchman Tholme agreed to train Vos initially on Kiffu . This changed , however , when both of Vos ' s parents were murdered by Anzati . Vos ' s aunt , Tinté Vos , then forced the boy to use his abilities to read the memories implanted in his deceased mother ' s medallion . Vos cried out in terror for days , reliving the nightmare of his parents ' deaths , and only Tholme was able to calm him . Knowing that Quinlan would never be safe on his homeworld , now that his aunt had become its ruler , Tholme took the boy back to Coruscant and presented him to the Jedi Council , who agreed that he should enter into regular Jedi training . As a youngling , Quinlan trained alongside other Jedi hopefuls such as Siri Tachi , Bant Eerin , Shylar , and Obi - Wan Kenobi . He trained under the watchful guidance of Jedi Master Tholme . As a young apprentice , Vos was responsible for saving the life of the child Aayla Secura from the rogue wampa guard of a Hutt crime lord during a mission to Ryloth with Master Tholme , in 46 BBY . Through the Force , Vos immediately felt a strong connection to Secura , who was being concealed amongst slaves for her protection . Sensing she was in danger , Vos rushed to her rescue . Vos was able to communicate with Secura through the Force and together they defeated the rampaging wampa . Vos persuaded Master Tholme to test Secura for Jedi training on Coruscant , where she passed the tests and later became Vos ' s own Padawan . Padawan Vos also fought beside his master in their mission to Thyferra and in the Stark Hyperspace War , where he became close friends with fellow Padawan Obi - Wan Kenobi . When the war was over , Tholme went away for a while , leaving Vos with Kenobi and Qui - Gon Jinn on Ragoon VI to complete a survival - training mission . While trying to show off and best each other with different moves , Vos accidentally tumbled into the water . Kenobi jumped in to rescue him , but both were saved by Jinn , who called upon the Force to lift them from the vortex of churning waters in which they ' d become trapped . Vos recalled later that , as he was drowning , it had seemed easier to just let go , to surrender himself to " a comfortable and very familiar darkness . " Also during his apprenticeship , Quinlan had a romantic relationship with fellow Padawan Shylar . They eventually ended it , knowing the Jedi Code forbade such attachments . This relationship would come back to haunt Vos during the Clone Wars . In 32 BBY , Vos was on Tatooine on an undercover mission , at the same time Master Qui - Gon Jinn found himself temporarily stranded there . Secura , who , as a 16 - year - old Padawan , was working with Vos on Tatooine , later told the Jedi Council that she and Vos heard about his death just before they left the planet . She reported that Vos regretted not revealing himself or contacting Qui - Gon , that if he had been aware of Jinn ' s plight , he would have undoubtedly aided him in reaching Coruscant . Amnesia ( 31 BBY ) . Vilmarh Grahrk . A year after the Invasion of Naboo , Vos suddenly found himself inside of a burning building on Nar Shaddaa , with no memory of who or where he was , nor what he had been doing . He was able to escape to the roof , encountering a small group of bounty hunters upon doing so . Acting instinctively , he Force pushed them off the edge , sending them to their deaths . Diving into one of Nar Shaddaa ' s many dark alleys , Vos encountered Vilmarh Grahrk , a Devaronian smuggler . Using a commandeered speeder bike , the two managed to find a place to hide , avoiding assassins at every turn . Villie , as he liked to be called , explained to Vos that the local criminals had made bets based on how long Vos would survive on Nar Shaddaa , knowing of his Jedi origins and his amnesia . Once they were safe , Villie put his blaster to Vos ' s head and pulled the trigger , but it turned out that Vos had switched the weapon ' s power cell while using it against enemies on Villie ' s speeder . Vos kicked Grahrk to the ground and , after grabbing the blaster and switching its power cell once again , demanded Grahrk tell him everything he knew , or he would kill him . Before he could do so , two beings carrying lightsabers walked into the room , claiming to be Jedi . Grahrk told him that they were in fact " bad boys , " and with that the two attacked . Vos instantly killed one with Villie ' s blaster , then grabbed his downed opponent ' s green lightsaber . As it touched his hand , visions suddenly flowed through his mind , including that of his Padawan , Aayla Secura , and his own name . With a great deal of his power returned to him , he quickly killed the other lightsaber - wielding foe , a Gotal . Villie revealed that , while Vos was killing the fake Jedi , he had made a new bet : that he would get off Nar Shaddaa alive . After being convinced to go with Grahrk , Vos grabbed the other lightsaber which he could sense belonged to Secura . With that , the two began their trek off the Smuggler ' s Moon . Leaving Nar Shaddaa . On the way , Vos encountered more intense visions ; of Tatooine , Bib Fortuna , Tinté Vos , and glitteryll , primarily . After learning Grahrk knew of Bib Fortuna and his possible whereabouts , Vos quickly convinced him to help find the Twi ' lek and , knowing they could never leave the moon until doing so , Grahrk agreed . Vos and Grahrk located the Twi ' lek , and the Jedi asked Fortuna aggressively what glitteryll was . Bib only revealed that " someone in a high position on Coruscant " was behind it all before a group of guards burst into the room . Vos and Grahrk quickly dispatched the guards , though Fortuna was able to escape during the melee . After the emergence of a droideka , the two escaped through a window , stealing Bib Fortuna ' s parked speeder , and immediately made their way to Grahrk ' s ship , the " Inferno " . Upon arriving to the ship ' s docking bay , Vos discovered Grahrk had failed to mention he lost the ship in his recent betting on Vos ' s possible demise , so the ship now had security droids surrounding it , conveniently forcing Vos to help Grahrk regain his ship . Upon entering the ship , Vos and Grahrk were not allowed to take off due to the " Inferno " onboard navigation droid , NT 600 , correctly claiming that Grahrk was no longer the owner . With annoyed bounty hunters and gamblers fast approaching , Vos quickly told the droid that activating the ship ' s shields would " protect the new owner ' s investment . " Agreeing with this logic , NT activated the shields , though they began deteriorating instantly due to an ion cannon - wielding bounty hunter firing upon it . A Quarren named Gorzima suddenly came on - screen , accusing Villie of stealing back the " Inferno " . Vilmarh promised that he would simply fly the " Inferno " off - planet , collecting his soon - to - be winnings due to Vos escaping Nar Shaddaa , and allowing himself to buy the " Inferno " back . Gorzima disagreed , but Vos was able to persuade him , allowing the two to fly away from Nar Shaddaa . Grahrk transferred his new - found credits to Gorzima once out of the atmosphere . With Vos not being sure where to go next to fill out his memory a bit more , Grahrk reasoned that the best place would be where he was born . So , NT 600 scanned the Jedi and discovered that he was a Kiffar from the planet Kiffu . After granting him transport to his homeworld , Grahrk stayed behind on the " Inferno " , allowing Vos to seek out his past , and perhaps learn a little more about himself . On his home planet , Vos met with his aunt , Tinté Vos , the Sheyf of Kiffu and Kiffex . Though she shunned the Jedi , as well as Quinlan Vos ' s Padawan Aayla Secura , she told him that a few weeks ago he and Secura had come to Kiffu to learn of a drug called glitteryll . She said that it was a combination of glitterstim and ryll , that the Corporate Sector Authority was interested in it , and that he and Secura had investigated the matter on Nar Shaddaa and Tatooine . She also echoed Bib Fortuna ' s statement on Nar Shaddaa that someone high up on Coruscant was behind it all . She told him to go to Ryloth to seek information , and his Padawan . Seeking Aayla Secura . Once on Ryloth , Vos and Grahrk were met by Asanté Vos , a fellow female Kiffar and Vos ' s cousin . Vos didn ' t recognize her , and , after a brief moment of disappointment , Asanté brought him to Pol Secura , a Twi ' lek chieftain on Ryloth and uncle of Aayla Secura . Vos explained his situation to Pol , who said that , last time Vos and Aayla Secura came to Ryloth , they found nothing in their investigation and went to Kessel , the place of origin for glitterstim , one half of gliteryll ' s components . Weary from his ordeal on Nar Shaddaa , Vos stayed the night at Secura ' s residence . When he awoke , he was contacted via hologram by Vilmarh Grahrk , who told him to meet him by the Rock Gardens of Ryloth . Upon arrival , Vos was confronted by another Devaronian , Holmar Grahrk , Villie ' s cousin . Holmar was quickly shot down by the approaching Villie , who told Vos that he had recently made another bet that he would get off Ryloth alive . Vos wasn ' t ready to leave just then , and the two investigated a nearby cave , Vos picking up traces of his and Secura ' s visit there . When they arrived , the two found a mass web of giant spider eggs ; the kind found normally on Kessel , and used to make glitterstim . They were soon attacked by a group of hatched spiders , resulting in Grahrk being knocked down a pit , though he was able to survive by landing on a spider web . All of a sudden , Asanté Vos walked in wielding a blaster , and shot Vos in the back . She explained that he and Secura had gotten too deep into the glitteryll situation , and that she and Pol Secura had overdosed them with glitteryll to wipe their memories , in the process protecting them from higher - ups behind the scenes . As she prepared to kill Vos , pulling her blaster up to his head , she was stabbed from behind by the mother spider . With a recovered Villie ' s help , Vos was able to kill the spider and , with his new information , decided to visit Pol Secura once more . Vos and Grahrk barged into Pol Secura ' s quarters overlooking the caves of Ryloth , aggressively demanding to know where Jedi Secura was . Pol fearfully revealed that she was now one of his servants , motioning to her , mere meters away . Vos introduced himself and asked if she remembered him , but she didn ' t . He handed her the lightsaber and encouraged her to ignite it ; even when she did , she recalled nothing . Vos threateningly asked Pol Secura what he had done to her , and he explained that she had to be given more glitteryll every day to suppress her Jedi memories . Vos interrogated Pol Secura with Force lightning , demanding to know who was behind selling the drugs to the Corporate Sector . After suffering much pain , Pol Secura yelled that it was Chom Frey Kaa , a Senator from Ryloth . As Vos prepared to kill him , Aayla Secura instinctively Force - pushed them both off the ledge , leaving Vos hanging on the edge and sending Pol Secura plummeting to a stone platform , killing him . As Jedi Secura rushed to her uncle , Grahrk pulled Vos up , explaining to him that going after Aayla Secura would be useless , because to her he was nothing more than the man who made her kill her uncle . Vos reluctantly agreed , and the two made their way back to the " Inferno " , flying out of the atmosphere . Confronting Chom Frey Kaa . Soon after entering outer space , Vos and Grahrk were contacted via hologram by Jedi Master Mace Windu , who said that he had learned of Vos ' memory loss from Tinté Vos , as well as his assassination of Pol Secura on Ryloth , and that he was to come back to Coruscant for retraining immediately . Vos cut off the transmission and , against Grahrk ' s cautioning , decided to go to Coruscant to find Chom Frey Kaa . Landing in the underbelly of Galactic City , Vos displayed unsureness as to where to find Kaa . Without warning , Grahrk shot Vos in the back , presumably with a stun blaster . When the Jedi awoke , he found himself handcuffed , laying next to Chom Frey Kaa , a large white Twi ' lek , and Vilmarh Grahrk . Kaa revealed that in fact Grahrk was the one who transported the spider eggs from Kessel to Ryloth in the first place , and that he also brought Vos from Ryloth to Nar Shaddaa after his memory wiping . Grahrk however made his third betrayal of the day , tossing Vos ' s lightsaber to him , allowing him to unshackle himself and destroy the Twi ' lek ' s battle droid guards . As Vos prepared to kill the Senator , he was interrupted by Master Mace Windu , who told Vos that to kill him would be to succumb to the dark side of the Force . Vos was disobedient , not willing to let Kaa survive . After a brief lightsaber duel between the two , Master Windu , with his pacifism , was able to make Vos see the error in his actions , and Vos pledged himself to the Jedi Order ' s retraining , with only one request : that Aayla be retrieved from Ryloth and taught the same . Unbeknownst to those involved , the entire debacle had been engineered by Darth Sidious , who aimed to bring Vos to the dark side as a new acolyte . However , even though Vos returned to the light side , Sidious recognized how close he had come , and that in the future he would be even more at risk of falling . Mission to Dathomir ( 31 BBY ) . Slave of the Witches . Three months into his retraining , Quinlan Vos was sent to Dathomir to investigate the local Witches , following reports that they had something to do with the planet Ova mysteriously vanishing . With only four days to work , Vos flew into the planet ' s orbit and , activating the ejector seat in his starship once he had entered the atmosphere , crashed down into Dathomir ' s towering forests . He was soon confronted and taken as a slave by the female - dominated Dathomiri . While excavating one of the Dathomiri ' s ancient temples , Vos introduced himself to a Givin named Yag Shushin , before being quickly reprimanded by one of his Dathomiri slavemasters for fraternizing with other slaves . Vos , hoping to find out what exactly they were doing with this excavation , told her to " burn in the fire rings of Fornax " , causing her to angrily attack him with a Force pike . Before she could accurately hit him , a sudden " rock - quake " sent boulders crashing onto many of the workers , including Yag Shushin , though he survived due to the Givins ' tough exoskeleton . While being kept in his laser prison with the other slaves , Vos was offered healing by Ros Lai ( known to the workers as " the Rancor " ) , the hunchbacked daughter of Matriarch Zalem . Though he refused , he sensed something special about her . Suddenly , a group of Dathomiri riding actual rancors , led by Yongti , arrived , shooting and injuring Ros Lai , but not killing her . Yag quickly explained to Vos that they were a rival clan of Witches , coming to steal slaves and mates . One of them then fired upon the laser grid security console , allowing them to walk through unscathed and take anyone they liked . Vos was soon lassoed by one of the rancor - mounted Witches , and desperately used the Force to reactivate the laser grid , killing one of the rancors . Suddenly , a large tunneling machine called a subterine piloted by a Dathomiri came flying out of the ground , and fired upon all of the attacking Witches , killing all of them and successfully defending her slaves . Lizard Keeper . The next day , Vos ' s digging was interrupted by a giant wuffa burrowing out of the ground and attacking the workers . Wary of letting anyone else see his lightsaber , Vos dived into the massive worm ' s mouth , stabbing into its heavily exposed brain with his glowing green blade ; the only witness was Yag Shushin , who didn ' t say anything . Upon hearing of Vos ' s accomplishment , Zalem promoted him and Shushin to Lizard Keeper s , guardians of the Kwi , a blue saurian species native to Dathomir . Upon arriving in the Kwi stable , Shushun explained to Vos that the Dathomiri were cutting off the Kwi ' s paws , and using them to activate the machines in the temples they were excavating . He also said that he knew where the Witches kept their subterines , and that he could easily pilot them . A fellow worker explained to him how to do it , but just as he was about to eagerly demonstrate on an unfortunate Kwi , Vos punched him to the ground , taking out his lightsaber and killing all attacking slaves . Vos then sliced through the Kwi cages , setting them free , and told Yag to go get a subterine . He did so , and Vos noticed one Kwi standing its ground , seeming to want to converse with Vos via psychometry . He agreed , and put his hand up to the creature ' s paw . The Kwi told him of his species ' ancestors , the Kwa , and how they built interstellar gateways called Infinity Gate s , underground , concealing them with large , pyramidal Star Temple s . The Temples were laden with lethal traps throughout the interior , and guarded by giant wuffas from without . As a result of both of these detriments , the Dathomiri were attempting to dig under the Star Temples and access the Infinity Gate . The Kwi told Vos that , as he has killed one of the Temples ' guardians , he must replace it . Vos understood , and the Kwi ran off with the rest of the herd . The deceptive sister . Vos suddenly realized that Ros Lai , the hunchbacked daughter of Zalem , was spying on him . He chased after her , only to be lured into a large pit filled with hog - like creatures . Ros Lai walked away , saying she didn ' t want him " interfering with her plans . " Vos killed several of the boars and jumped out of the hole , catching up with Ros Lai , who had transformed from her disfigured guise into an upright , red - haired , attractive woman . Vos eavesdropped on Lai speaking to a Force spirit ; her father , and thus Zalem ' s husband . He learned that Zalem killed her husband for being Force - sensitive , fearing any male becoming too powerful . Lai promised to take revenge . Vos then revealed himself , offering that the two should work together to stop Zalem ' s excavating of the Star Temples . Lai disagreed , explaining that she " wanted " Zalem to gain access to the Temples , then she would kill her and use the Infinity Gate for herself . With that , Lai used Force choke on Vos , planting him against a pillar . Before she could kill him however , three other Witches appeared — Vonya , Yani , and Leela — apparently having heard the previous conversation . As Lai released Vos from her Force choke , the Witches seemed pleased to learn that Lai had become beautiful , and accepted her into their sisterhood . Lai didn ' t seem very eager to do so , however , as she once again used Force choke , this time on Leela , killing her . Yani ran away in fear , as Vonya used the Force to throw nearby rocks at Ros Lai . Realizing that she would be a powerful ally , Vos slashed the rocks apart before they could touch Lai , causing Vonya to retreat . Vos once again made his offer to Lai , but she wasn ' t any more willing to help him than before . Vos , finally relinquishing , decided to rendezvous with Yag Shushin and use a subterine to dive underground . He was soon attacked however by a group of Dathomiri , taken prisoner , and transported to Zalem ' s personal tent . Infinity ' s end . Shackled to a vertical bed , Vos was injected with deadly artery worms . Before they began to take effect , Ros Lai arrived , closely followed by Yag Shushin in a subterine . After dispatching some of Zalem ' s guards , Vos and Lai boarded the subterine and flew off to safety , digging underground once at the location of the Infinity Gate . Lai gave Vos a potion containing her blood , which , being a Witch ' s blood , was immune to artery worms . Suddenly , two Dathomiri ships piloted by Vonya and Zalem arrived , and the three ships flew into the Star Chamber , the massive chamber containing the Infinity Gate . Firing upon Vos ' s subterine , Vonya knocked Yag back roughly , shattering his exoskeleton and killing him . Vos took revenge , blasting relentlessly at Vonya ' s ship , destroying it in a ball of flame . They were too late to kill Zalem however ; she had docked with the control station and , forcefully using a captured Kwi ' s paw , activated the Infinity Gate ' s weapons systems , aiming it and firing it at Coruscant . With only one hour to spare until it would make contact with the Republic capital , Lai docked at the station , claiming to be holding Vos as a prisoner . Lai declared herself to be on Zalem ' s side , but her mother needed convincing . Lai , using an illusion spell , stabbed her Force pike into Vos ' s chest , and demanded justice for her fallen father from Zalem . After being denied , Lai stabbed her mother in the stomach , killing her , then walked off , leaving Vos to die against Zalem ' s guards . Vos , backed up against the wall , psychically activated the Star Chamber ' s death traps , killing all of the guards , though Lai was able to dodge them . Vos activated another trap , this one simply stunning Lai , allowing Vos to reverse the energy beam plummeting towards Coruscant , sending it towards his current location . Vos gathered Lai , carrying her back to the subterine and making the jump to hyperspace , flying to the now - safe Coruscant with his mission accomplished . Mission to Kiffex ( 30 BBY ) . Approximately one year later , in 30 BBY , the Jedi Council , at the request of Tinté Vos , sent Vos to Kiffex to investigate a break - in and slaughter at one of the planet ' s security compounds , as well as a disturbance in the Force reported by T ' ra Saa , watchman of the Kiffu sector . Tholme and Villie . Upon arriving at the Kiffex security compound in question , Vos was attacked by a group of Anzati . Fending them off narrowly , Vos was soon joined by his former Master Tholme , who had been sent by the Council to watch over Vos , and together the two were able to send the Anzati running . Though Vos did not remember Tholme due to his recent amnesia , he recognized him from the files in the Jedi Archives . Tholme and Vos both sensed someone hiding in a nearby storage compartment , and upon opening it , discovered Vilmarh Grahrk . Grahrk seemed glad to see Vos , but the feeling was less than mutual , as Vos gave Grahrk two punches and a kick for killing several Jedi a few years ago , something Vos had only recently learned . Before Vos ' s actions became too hostile , Tholme warned him that killing Grahrk would only lead to the dark side . Vos reluctantly agreed . Grahrk explained that he came to Kiffex smuggling blasters , but was arrested by the local Guardians and imprisoned on Kiffex for his actions . Grahrk , believing that Vos and Tholme would get him off Kiffex , led the Jedi to a nearby settlement , where they were fired upon by order of Gorto Zaga , chief of the settlement ; specifically that no one was to be let in after sundown . The Jedi and Grahrk were able to survive the blasterfire however , and with a cautionary mind trick from Tholme , were soon inside the settlement and Vilmarh Grahrk ' s hiding place . The Vos medallion . When Tholme and Vos had a moment alone , Tholme showed Vos a medallion that once belonged to his mother , Quian Vos . Upon touching the medallion , Vos was ravaged by memories of his parents , Quian and Pethros , intercepting an Anzati ship attempting to come to Kiffex , only to get boarded and attacked by the Anzati in doing so . The Anzati sucked the essence from Quian and Pethros , draining them of their lives . Tholme recounted Vos ' s youth to him , and said that witnessing the death of his parents as a child caused the darkness within him , and that , due to his amnesia , Vos had to face his mother ' s death once again to quell the darkness within him . Inside , Vos knew that Tinté Vos had shown his parents ' murder to him to turn him to the dark side , thus making him useless as a Jedi , hoping to bring him back to Kiffu as a Guardian . Showdown at Black Hole . While at the Black Hole cantina in the town of Deadend , Vos , Tholme , and Villie watched as a Jedi Master named Zao concealed himself as personal chef of Gorto Zaga , the Aqualish chief of Deadend . Following Zaga disapproving a meal prepared by Zao , Zaga ' s men opened fire on him , forcing himself , Vos and Tholme into battle . Seemingly from nowhere , an army of Anzati led by Aayla Secura , who had recently been turned to the dark side by Volfe Karkko , attacked Black Hole , forcing the Jedi and Gorto ' s men into a defensive position . Vos , consumed by feelings of fear and rage brought on by his parents ' death , was attacked by his former Padawan , as the Anzati began wrapping the Black Hole patrons in green webbing . Secura fled to the roof of the establishment , and Vos , against Tholme ' s advisement otherwise , gave chase . When the two met on the roof , Secura said she would kill Vos for killing her uncle Pol Secura , " but not yet , " then fled on her bathwa , leading several Anzati on theirs . Tholme soon caught up with Vos , who accused Tholme and the Jedi Council of lying about not knowing where Aayla Secura was , and that they sent him to Kiffex to find her . As Tholme defended himself and the Council and denied Vos ' s claims , Grahrk arrived with three of Gorto Zaga ' s skycycle s . Grahrk , Vos , Zao and Tholme escaped Zaga ' s forces on them , and began to track down the Anzati on their bathwas . In a thick outcropping of trees , the three Jedi and Grahrk were attacked by a large group of Anzati , who then captured them and sealed them in green webbing inside of a cave . They were eventually rescued by T ' ra Saa , and together , she and Vos defeated their Anzati captors . Death of Volfe Karkko . T ' ra Saa , after freeing Tholme , Zao and Grahrk , told Vos that she was sent to bring him back to Coruscant , and recounted the story of Volfe Karkko , an Anzati Jedi who had turned to the dark side and was eventually put in stasis on Kiffex , only for Aayla Secura to awaken him a thousand years later . Together , Saa , Tholme and Zao were able to detect Karkko ' s whereabouts on Kiffex with the Force , and they and Vos set out to find him , with Grahrk prompting to stay with Saa ' s crashed ship . When the four Jedi arrived at Volfe ' s compound , the Anzat called out to Vos through the Force , compelling Vos to enter . As the other three Jedi battled Karkko ' s Anzat defenses outside , Vos entered Karkko ' s fortress , discovering countless conscious bodies wrapped in green webbing . Vos neglected to rescue them despite their pleas for assistance , instead going straight for Secura . As Vos arrived in the inner sanctum of Volfe Karkko , he was attacked by his Padawan , much to the delight of Karkko . Vos and Secura dueled with their lightsabers , Vos ' s calls to Secura to come back to the light falling on deaf ears . Eventually , Vos switched off his lightsaber , refusing to battle Aayla further . Just as Secura seemed to be convinced of Vos ' s sincerity , she was struck by a blast of Force lightning from Volfe Karkko . Vos and Karkko then proceeded to duel each other , and in the end , with mental assistance from Zao , Tholme and Saa , Vos defeated Karkko , slicing through his abdomen and cutting him in two . Vos then revived Secura , whose memories , stored in her lekku for so long , came back to her , turning her back to the light side . Vos carried the weakened Secura out of Karkko ' s fortress and the five Jedi , after rescuing all of those held captive inside , boarded Grahrk ' s ship , the " Inferno " — which he had contacted using T ' ra Saa ' s ship — and escaped Kiffex . The five Jedi and Villie then landed on Kiffu and were joined by Mace Windu , Adi Gallia , and Plo Koon , who had originally come to the system to rescue Vos from Kiffex . Together , they decided that , with Vos and Secura ' s collective closeness to the dark side of the Force , Tholme shall become Secura ' s new Master . Vos , meanwhile , decided to follow Zao ' s lead and become a " leaf blown by the winds of the Force . " With that , he and Villie boarded the " Inferno " and set out to parts unknown . From Knight to Master ( 28 BBY ) . Wayward Jedi . Vos soon found himself in the midst of a dangerous adventure yet again after a number of bounties were posted on his life . A group of bounty hunters tracked Vos to Ord Mantell , though they underestimated the Jedi ' s skills , to their misfortune . Even so , it took the timely arrival of Aayla Secura to save him , though his former Padawan had come with dire news . Tholme was missing , after pursuing Tsyr and Bok , the father - son pair of Morgukai warriors who had abducted Nat Secura , prime heir to Clan Secura . Vos agreed to help Jedi Secura locate their Master . They began their search by seeking out Vilmarh Grahrk in Ord Mantell ' s casino district . Vos asked for Grahrk ' s help . Grahrk informed Vos and Secura that he had been in the employ of the Morgukai , obtaining cortosis and flying transports for them . He went on to say that had been the pilot of a ship carrying Tsyr , Bok , Tholme , and Nat Secura , but had been dropped off at Ord Mantell and paid off . After Vos used his Force powers to give the Devaronian a winning edge in the casino , Grahrk finally admitted that Tholme and Nat Secura had been taken to the Nikto homeworld of Kintan . After asking Villie to send a message to Lon Secura , telling him his son had been located , Vos and Secura departed for Kintan . En route to the planet , Vos sensed uneasiness in Secura — uneasiness about him . Secura responded that he was not acting like the Vos in her lekku memories . Vos realized this , but for him , his life began in the burning room on Nar Shaddaa ; thanks to Pol Secura , he knew little of his life before that , but assured Secura that he was at peace with his situation . Mission to Kintan . Upon arrival on Kintan , the Jedi inadvertently set off a sensor , alerting Tsyr and Bok to their presence . The Morgukai tracked the Jedi vessel and blasted it out of the sky , despite Aayla ' s impressive flying . Realizing their prey were not dead , the Morgukai set out on foot to hunt them down , but were ambushed . The Jedi managed to escape for a time , using the explosion of a thermal detonator as cover , but were again ambushed by the Morgukai as they attempted to cross a lava river . A fierce battle ensued , in which Secura attempted to fend off the two Morgukai , while Vos — already safely on the opposite side of the river — used the Force to steady Secura ' s footing . Even after being wounded by Tsyr , Vos was still able to aid Secura in reaching him . Leaving the Morgukai behind , Vos and Secura made a difficult climb up to the fortress where Nat Secura was being held . A sandstorm impeded their progress , forcing them to seek shelter within a cave . Inside , Vos informed Secura that she had passed all the preliminary trials to become a Jedi Knight , and the coming battle would be her final test . He encouraged her to steady herself , and release her feelings of self - doubt if she wished to succeed . Once within the fortress , the Jedi were again confronted by Tsyr , who set attack droids upon them . Vos told his apprentice to seek out Nat Secura , while he engaged Tsyr . Jedi Secura feared for Vos ' s life , as he had already been wounded in the previous battle , but Vos was resolute . However , his situation became increasingly desperate with the arrival of Bok , thought lost at the lava river . Vos was able to hold his own in the battle , recovering Master Tholme ' s lightsaber and beheading Tsyr . Bok , however , was still alive , and shot Vos through the shoulder . By this time , Secura had located and rescued both Tholme and Nat , and raced to Vos ' s aid . She sliced off Bok ' s arm , and watched his apparent demise as he threw himself from a cliff . Vos , however , was on the verge of death . Secura helped heal Vos and return him to consciousness , at which point he thanked her , calling Secura his " former apprentice " . She had passed her final trial . Vos , Secura and Tholme returned Nat Secura to Ryloth , then departed for Coruscant and the Jedi Temple . There , Secura was formally given the title of Jedi Knight , while Vos , for his selfless actions on Kintan , was made a Jedi Master in the presence of the High Council and Tholme . After the ceremony , Vos promised Secura she would never have to walk the path of a Jedi Knight alone , for he would always be at her side . Clone Wars ( 22 – 19 BBY ) . Vos was asked to be a part of the Jedi strike team that Master Mace Windu led to rescue Master Obi - Wan Kenobi , his Padawan Anakin Skywalker , and Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo on Geonosis . He refused given to his ideals and " other business . " Still , his former apprentice , Aayla Secura did encounter the droid armies alongside the 212 Jedi . Double agent . During the time of the Separatist uprising , Vos had been working undercover setting up an elaborate network for spying on the CIS . During sometime after the First Battle of Geonosis , his flow of information to Coruscant stopped . Aayla Secura was sent to investigate , since she would know him the best , as his former Padawan . She found that Vos was very upset since he had known nothing of the development on Geonosis . Vos informed her that he was very close to intercepting a certain disc that had valuable information concerning a pending attack on Kamino . They , along with Khaleen Hentz , managed to steal the information , although they put Khaleen ' s life at risk . Secura also learned then that Vos was beginning to get emotionally involved with Khaleen . She did not make any move to report this to the Jedi , but she did warn him not to get too attached . Vos played a major part in the Clone Wars when he infiltrated Count Dooku ' s inner circle under strict orders from Tholme and part of the Jedi Council . He provided valuable information to the Jedi and the Republic . While undercover , he was forced to do things that would convince most of the Jedi he had joined the CIS , such as betraying Republic information at the Battle of Brentaal IV . Agen Kolar was sent to Nar Shaddaa to bring Vos in once he learned of Vos ' s actions at Brentaal IV . Vos escaped Kolar , but Hentz was captured . Deep in a Coruscant prison , Tholme offered Hentz her freedom in exchange for her cooperation in contacting Vos . Meanwhile , Count Dooku played into Vos ' s dark side weakness and drew him " closer to the shadows , " as Vos himself described it , than he had ever been before . When Dooku took his acolytes to Kiffu to negotiate establishing a Separatist base on Kiffex , the Guardians refused . When the two sides attacked , Vos tried to rescue his great - aunt , the Sheyf Tinté Vos , and killed acolyte Kadrian Sey in the process . Seeing Vos ' s true intentions , Dooku went after and caught Vos . Dooku hinted to Vos that the Sheyf held a dark secret . He tempted Vos to use the dark side to strengthen his psychometric powers so he could read the Sheyf ' s past . When Vos did this , he discovered that Sheyf Tinté had sacrificed his parents to Anzati vampires as part of an unholy business deal . Vos went into a blood rage and with a surge of dark side power , Vos swung through his aunt with his lightsaber . Dooku now knew Vos ' s conversion was no act . Dooku ' s servant . As a reward , and for his homicidal service to the Count and to signify Vos ' now cemented position as one of Dooku ' s Dark Side Adepts , Tyranus gave Vos the ancient crystal found inside an ancient holocron that Vos successfully recovered . It once powered Darth Andeddu ' s blade and now it would power his own . By 21 BBY , Vos was , along with Asajj Ventress , one of Dooku ' s top assassins . He was , on one important occasion , given a mark by Dooku and told that this person would be at a high - class banquet on Coruscant . Dooku implied that the mark was in fact the second Sith , whom , unbeknownst to Vos , the Count knew Vos was obsessed with discovering and , possibly , eliminating . Vos jumped at the chance , as Dooku knew he would , and along with Hentz , infiltrated the banquet disguised as a recently killed Kiffari general . Vos was told via holocomm when the mark was in front of him , but Vos saw both Supreme Chancellor Palpatine as well as Senator Viento . Vos decided that Viento was the most likely to be the target , as it was unthinkable that Palpatine could be the second Sith , so he waited until later that night and broke into Viento ' s quarters to attempt the assassination , using his powers of self - concealment to hide his presence from the Jedi assigned to guard Viento , K ' Kruhk . However , K ' Kruhk had been keeping a watchful eye on Vos at the party and , even though he couldn ' t sense Vos at first , was aware of the fact that Viento may be in danger . Just as Vos ignited his lightsaber to kill Viento , K ' Kruhk burst through the window and lunged for Vos . He was too late , however ; Vos had already slashed Viento across the chest . After a brawl with the Whiphid Jedi , in which both combatants were wounded , K ' Kruhk more so than Vos , Vos escaped with Hentz ' s help . Angered and confused , he decided to return to Dooku to find some answers . Vos realized that Viento could not have been the second Sith , as Vos would not have so easily been able to eliminate a Sith Lord and when he confronted Dooku about the Count ' s misleading him , Dooku seemed amused and stated that he never said that the mark was the second Sith , seemingly taking pleasure in his own hidden awareness of Vos ' obsession with rooting out the second Sith . One month after recovering Darth Andeddu ' s holocron , Vos returned to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant . He made a recording about the holocron and Dooku . During his time as a Dark Acolyte , Vos acquired and studied the " Book of Sith " , annotating the volume . Next on the Count ' s hit - list was the Twi ' lek Kh ' aris Fenn , a traitor to the Confederacy of Independent Systems , condemned for using the funds Dooku had supplied as a means to aid the Separatists for the Twi ' lek ' s own needs . Fenn was executed by Vos for his treachery , with each murder further immersing himself in the dark side . By this time , most Jedi , with the exception of Tholme and perhaps Secura to some extent , were convinced that the Kiffar had surrendered to the dark side . But Vos escaped Dooku ' s grasp ; on the planet Honoghr , Aayla Secura and clone trooper commander Bly were trying to find an SIP ( Scientific Information Packet ) disk containing evidence of the Separatists contaminating the planet . Vos met them , and told Secura he had not really turned to the dark side . He helped them recover the disk , but then threatened to kill Secura if she did not give it up . He revealed his true intentions in joining the Separatists : to find out the identity of the Second Sith and kill him to end the war . Secura forced Vos to see the light by saying he could kill her or return to Coruscant with her , if there was any good left in him . Vos almost agreed , but fled after Bly shot him . This convinced Secura that Quinlan Vos was not totally lost . Old Friends . Months later , Vos met Obi - Wan Kenobi , on the derelict spaceship " Titavian IV " , and they found themselves on opposite sides . But by helping him escape Asajj Ventress and Tol Skorr , Vos managed to convince Kenobi that he still served the Republic . In the ensuing skirmish , Skorr told Vos that Dooku knew of his duplicity from the start . Trying to escape the ship , Kenobi proposed that one of them retrieve the Skorp - Ion with his starfighter so they ' d both escape . Vos volunteered to hold off the Dark Jedi , but Kenobi knew he was injured so Vos took the fighter . He managed to repair the Ion and then destroyed Kenobi ' s starfighter to prevent Skorr from getting his hands on it . He then disabled Skorr ' s ship and the two Jedi Masters jumped to the Rendili system . Master Saesee Tiin had him imprisoned to await trial . During the ensuring battle , power to the prison hold was lost , so Vos escaped to take a starfighter to assist the Republic . He helped Kenobi board the lead Rendili ship to rescue Plo Koon , Jace Dallin and Jan Dodonna . When he returned to Coruscant , where he managed to convince the Council of Reconciliation of his intentions . Vos was given time to recuperate and then served as a General . Tracking Down a Hutt . Soon after his role as a General was reinstated , he was once again reunited with his long time friend , Obi - Wan . After Ziro the Hutt escaped Republic prison with the help of Cad Bane and his posse at the discretion of the Hutt Ruling Council , Vos pursued Ziro across Coruscant ' s skylanes but Bane and Ziro escaped the Jedi on an airspeeder and made it to the bounty hunter ' s ship . Vos and Kenobi were then assigned to find and apprehend the runaway Hutt . Kenobi thought that Jabba the Hutt still had it out for Ziro for the kidnapping of his son , but Vos believed Ziro had damaging evidence against the Hutt council . So They journeyed to Nal Hutta and spoke with Gardulla the Hutt . Although Vos seemed to be a little overconfident , he used his telekinetic abilities and discovered the cup that Ziro had been drinking out of before . After visiting Ziro ' s mother , they eventually tracked the Hutt to Teth . After discovering that someone had already killed Ziro , he and Obi - Wan proceeded to confront Cad Bane and his droid , Todo 360 , after Bane attempted to leave the planet . After a rather lengthy chase and fight , Bane was able to gain the upper hand . While the Jedi were occupied , the bounty hunter and his droid escaped in Bane ' s starfighter , the " Xanadu Blood " . The calm before the storm . But Vos had not faced his demons yet ; he continued working for the Confederacy in a mad race to uncover the second Sith Lord . He read Viento ' s corpse , determining that an Anzati was responsible for Finis Valorum ' s death . He went to Dexter Jettster , who put out the word for assassin Saljé Tasha . After relieving her of her cortosis gauntlets , he used his reading , enhanced by his teachings from Dooku to determine her hirer . He saw the face of Separatist Jedi Sora Bulq , which he believed to be the face of the second Sith and the one who told Viento to hire Tasha . Tasha , bound to the Anzati Code of Honor , became determined to make him " one of the Silent Voices , forever . " Luckily , Hentz hit the Anzati with a pole before she could suck out his brain . As Tasha fled from Hentz ' s blaster shots , Vos blindly believed that he knew the Second Sith ' s identity and was determined to finish Bulq off himself , rather than tell Master Yoda . Vos was then asked to see Master Oppo Rancisis at the Jedi Temple . Master Ranciss showed Vos a message from his master , Tholme on Saleucami , telling them of the Anzati trained Morgukai clone army being cloned there . Vos said he could leave immediately for Saleucami and make contact with Tholme . Ranciss tells him that Jedi Council will send 3 battalions with Rancisis in charge of this mission . Rancisis wanted Vos to serve as his second in command due to his knowledge of both the Anzati and Morgukai . Vos agreed to his Master Rancisis ' wishes . Siege of Saleucami . On Saleucami , Vos fought alongside Secura , as part of the forces led by Master Rancisis , sent to prevent the Morgukai clones from leaving the planet . He had Khaleen Hentz arrange a meeting with Sora Bulq . After a night together , Vos recorded into his holocron that he would kill the second Sith . Fighting a false battle against Skorr , he was taken to Bulq , who was communicating to Dooku . He was ordered to kill Tholme , even if it meant compromising his position . He found his master over a lava ridge . He begged him to join in destroying Bulq . Tholme , however , knew that Bulq was only a Dark Jedi and knew things wouldn ' t be right if Vos continued on in what he was doing . With the " whatever it takes " mindset , he battled his former master . Having bested his master , Vos watched as a large rock fell onto Tholme and sent him falling down into the lava . He believed him to be dead . He returned to the fortress to find that Rancisis had been killed . Though the other Jedi suspected Bulq , Master Sian Jeisel felt that Vos had done it . Vos , however , proved that he didn ' t . Because of Rancisis ' death , Vos was placed in overall command of the Republic forces on the battle . To ensure that the siege would be a success , Vos " read " Rancisis ' s corpse to determine his plans , as he hadn ' t shared them . Dance with the dark side . Infiltrating the Separatist base , Vos sent Secura off to set charges on the thermo generators . He then met with Skorr , Bok , Bulq and Dooku ( via hologram ) . He claimed to have read Rancisis ' corpse to learn his plans . He also claimed that Secura was sent to the shield generators and Bok was sent to get his revenge . But Dooku showed him one last thing — Khaleen Hentz . The CIS leader revealed that Hentz was a double agent sent to infiltrate his spy ring . She was ordered to gain his sympathy , and confidence , including making him think she loved him . Hentz confessed that some of that was true but she soon fell in love with him for real . Vos was faced with the choice of murdering Hentz or not . She pleaded with him to look in her heart and know the truth . He cupped her face in his hands , looked in her eyes and passionately kissed her . He then sliced her chains with his lightsaber , proclaiming he was a Jedi . As he was surrounded by Dark Jedi and Anzati , help came from an unexpected source — Tholme , who withdrew from the Force and waited to see if Vos chose the right path . Better than that , Bok didn ' t find Secura ; Vos lied , she was sabotaging the generators . Coming close to the dark side , Secura communicated with her former Master through the Force to bring him into the light . Vos battled against Skorr , Tholme battled against Bulq , and Hentz battled against Anzati . Skorr revealed " there is no second Sith " , the Count played him for a fool . In anger , Vos Force pushed Skorr into the fiery lava . He proceeded to save Tholme from Bulq while all the while , Dooku taunted him to giving in to the dark side and Tholme pleaded him not to fight with anger . Sora Bulq proceeded to engage Vos in a duel in Vaapad to force the issue . Vos ' use of Vaapad did indeed open him to the dark side , and deep in Vos ' inner spirit , he was facing against his most powerful opponent himself , saying that he was the hidden second Sith . However , this may have been a Force illusion projected by Bulq during the fight , as it was within the Weequay ' s power . Secura , who had defeated Bok , and Tholme joined together to remind him of the light . Bulq proceeded to duel Vos using Vaapad , with the belief that the flow of light and dark in the lightsaber form would cause Vos to fall to the dark side . Sora Bulq believed he had perfected the power of Vaapad through the direct application of the dark side . Quinlan Vos , in order to combat Sora ' s furious technique , gave himself over completely to Vaapad , and in turn accepted and embraced the full fury of his opponent Sora , and transformed his anger into a superconducting loop , connecting Sora ' s hatred with his own inner darkness , which passed in and out and through him , which he then channeled back towards Bulq ' s . Vos finally mastered the flow of light and dark , he had a strange calmness as Bulq raised his saber for the killing . Suddenly , Vos turned around and struck Bulq down across his torso , showing his level of mastery of Vaapad over its co - creator - Vos remained a Jedi while Sora Bulq and Depa Billaba fell . Count Dooku replied this victory meant nothing while Tholme then replied that Dooku lost , as all who served the dark side did . The four of them then escaped the base just as the Republic fleet bombarded the place . As the Jedi Generals departed to other places , Vos agreed to lead a battalion on Boz Pity , also having earned back Jeisel ' s respect . But he also learned that Hentz was pregnant with his child . He intended to leave the Jedi Order at the end of the Clone Wars , whereupon he would find his love . Last days of the war . Shortly before he was rotated out of Saleucami , Vos had a short discussion with Masters Sian Jeisel , K ' Kruhk and Secura . They talked about their next destinations , with Vos going to Boz Pity , Secura to Felucia to help Barriss Offee , and Jeisel and K ' Kruhk to Mygeeto , to assist Ki - Adi - Mundi . They parted with camaraderie , with K ' Kruhk promising that he would meet Vos again when the war was over . General Vos then took his troops to Boz Pity for the refit , and left for Kashyyyk following the Battle of Coruscant . On the way , he had heard that Anakin Skywalker had killed Count Dooku . While at Kashyyyk , Vos , along with Luminara Unduli and Wookiee Elder Gumbaeki , freed a number of Wookiees from Trandoshan enslavement . Near the end of the conflict , Vos ' s group was cornered by LM - 432 crab droids and considering retreat when the " Inferno " blasted in and saved them . Vos introduced the Wookiees to their savior , Vilmarh Grahrk , along with his new co - pilot , Chak . Because of his previous travels with Grahrk , Vos was given full access to the " Inferno " , which he used to access Grahrk ' s recent navigational charts . He discovered that Grahrk had been using the Claatuvac Guild hyperspace routes mentioned by a wounded Trandoshan , leading Vos to believe Grahrk had stolen the information . However , Vos learned that Chak had provided the routes after stowing away on a run Grahrk was carrying out for the Wookiees . Order 66 and beyond . Vos went on to play a part in the Battle of Kashyyyk . When Order 66 was transmitted to the clone commanders throughout the galaxy , Vos was on the overseer ' s platform of an HAVw A6 Juggernaut , when a neighboring tank fired on him and destroyed the tank he had been standing on at the time . Although he was believed to be dead , Vos emerged from the explosion badly wounded , though very much alive . His right arm was broken and bloody and his lungs burned . Upon learning of the betrayal of his troops , Vos realized his priority was to survive in the jungles of Kashyyyk . He knew also that if this betrayal had occurred on Kashyyyk , then it had happened elsewhere . He vowed to escape Kashyyyk and track down the second Sith Lord he had been searching for during the war , and bring an end to the dominion of the dark side . Quinlan Vos escaped into the woods of Kashyyyk , eluding the clone troopers . He clung to his training as a Jedi through his pain , using lessons taught by Yoda , Mace Windu , and Count Dooku to overcome his clone opponents . He was eventually tracked by Clone Commander Faie , who told Vos that if he didn ' t come out of hiding , Faie would call in an air strike and kill himself , Vos , and the neighboring Wookiee village . Vos made up his mind that he couldn ' t run and hide , that he would never track down the second Sith Lord , and that his destiny was to stop Faie and protect the innocent Wookiees . Vos jumped from his perch , lightsaber in hand , and Faie shot him a moment before Vos killed the clone commander . Both men fell to the forest floor . Grahrk ( on Kashyyyk working as a smuggler for the Wookiees ) soon came looking for Vos and found him on the ground , the dead Faie a few feet away . Soon after this , a squad of clone troopers burst through the woods , and found Grahrk standing over a Jedi funeral pyre . The Devaronian claimed to have killed the Jedi himself . As the clone troopers left , Grahrk said under his breath , " All debts paid , Jedi " . Eight months later , in a cave on Kashyyyk , Khaleen Hentz and her baby had met up with Masters Tholme and T ' ra Saa , along with some Wookiees . Hentz was watching a holocube from Vos , explaining his feelings for her , when suddenly he himself walked in , and repeated the words to her face . Hentz had feared that Vos was dead , as had they all , but due to Grahrk ' s trickery ( he had burned Faie ' s body instead ) , Vos had escaped off - planet and been healed . Hentz fell into Vos ' s arms , and then presented him with their child , Korto Vos . Painting the traditional Kiffar markings on his newborn son , Vos declared that the darkness would " never " touch the boy , for he would be raised in the light . Personality and traits . Though Quinlan Vos was a good Jedi in many ways , he suffered an ongoing struggle with the dark side that continued long into the Clone Wars . He was consumed by hatred for his great aunt , Tinté Vos , after discovering that she had sacrificed his parents to Anzati vampires , and he eventually murdered her in cold blood , completing his fall to the dark side . Having committed many evil acts during his time as Dooku ' s Dark Acolyte , Vos yet managed to convince his old friend Obi - Wan Kenobi that he still served the Republic , and he helped Kenobi escape from both Tol Skorr and Asajj Ventress . Vos was very mindful of his cover as a Dark Acolyte , sacrificing a childhood friend , Shylar , so that he wouldn ' t reveal his identity . Even so , Quinlan blew his cover by rescuing his great aunt , whom he shortly thereafter killed . Having waged long war with his inner demons , Vos displayed great strength of character by ultimately overcoming the dark side during the Clone Wars . Against the strict mandate of his Order , Quinlan fell in love with Khaleen Hentz and at the end of the Clone Wars became her husband and the father of their child , Korto Vos . Quinlan also forged an intimate Force bond with Aayla Secura , who once said that he had been like a father to her . Vos had a rather sarcastic sense of humor . When he faced Tsyr and Bok on Kintan , for example , he said that the two of them against him — who was wounded at the time — was unfair , before asking if it would be easier for them if he closed his eyes . Quinlan was openly disdainful of clone troopers , who in turn disliked him , but he was loathed by Sergeant Kal Skirata . Despite this general mutual emnity , Vos was civil , if not friendly , towards Commander Cody . Powers and abilities . Quinlan Vos was trained as a Jedi Guardian and he wielded a single green - bladed lightsaber , though his chosen blade color changed throughout his lifetime . The hilt design was similar to that of Dooku ' s standard , Qui - Gon Jinn and Obi - Wan Kenobi ' s lightsabers . He was a master of Ataru and taught his apprentice Aayla Secura everything he knew . Vos was also trained in Vaapad by Sora Bulq , though he was not a master of it . Vos would later demonstrate his new talents inadvertently during a practice session with Mace Windu , who immediately recognized his move as part of Vaapad . Windu abruptly halted the duel , warning Vos not to use Vaapad again , as Vos was already considered to tread too closely to the dark side for him to safely employ Vaapad . However , while Vos was serving as a double agent for Count Dooku during the Clone Wars , he was encouraged by Bulq , who had by that time allied with Dooku , to take up Vaapad ' s power again . Mace Windu , in his private memoir , expressed concerns and suspected Vos has mastered Vaapad to a degree greater than the Kiffar Jedi had revealed . Quinlan Vos would later demonstrate his level of mastery of Vaapad in defeating Sora Bulq during the Siege of Salecumi in lightsaber combat . Count Dooku also trained Vos in some elements of Makashi , while characterizing Vos ' dueling skills as " appalling . " The Kiffar had also been shown to hold his lightsaber in reverse grip , indicating he was a practitioner of Shien . Such examples of this fighting style were displayed in various missions : Anzat , Kiffex , Kiffu , the assassination of Senator Viento , " Titavian IV " , Saleucami , and Kashyyyk . At one time , he utilized Jar ' Kai against Tysr . Vos ' s abilities with a lightsaber allowed him to defeat and slay three Dark Acolytes during the Clone Wars ; Kadrian Sey , Tol Skorr , and even Sora Bulq . It should be noted that Bulq was considered to be one of the greatest swordsmen of his time , but Vos only defeated him with help from other Jedi supporting him with battle meditation , not only his own skills . In addition to his considerable lightsaber combat skills , Vos had the power of psychometry , the ability to read images from objects . Vos was also one of the few Jedi who was able to use Force cloak , which he learned from Tholme and taught Secura . He could locate his enemies based on their effects on the environment . He also had considerable working knowledge of espionage and counter - intelligence , and worked as a double agent . While working undercover , Dooku personally trained Quinlan Vos in the dark side and in a variety of dark side powers including Force lightning , Force choke , and to tame animals and bend them to his will , most notably a krayt dragon . At one time , he tried to learn inertia , but had dislocated his shoulder in the process . Behind the scenes . Quinlan Vos was based on a background character portrayed by an unknown actor in " " . His character was created by author John Ostrander and artist Jan Duursema , though Vos ' s first non - film appearance was actually a cameo in the Timothy Truman – penned " " . After this , he would take center - stage in the Ostrander / Duursema work " " . Vos appeared primarily in the " " and " " comic book series from Dark Horse Comics . In an interview , Ostrander elaborated on the origins of Quinlan Vos ' s name , explaining that he patterned after Qui - Gon Jinn ; he had wanted a name with the same number of syllables . He was later portrayed by Doug Wangler , a model for Duursema , at Celebration III . Quinlan Vos showed up again in the " Star Wars Tales " comic , " Ghost " . In the story , Vos rescued a young Han Solo , who was trying to find a treasure with a map he won in sabacc , from a swoop gang on Socorro . The swoop gang hunted Vos because they believed him to be a Jedi . After Vos confronted young Solo , he disappeared into the shadows , never to be seen again . However , that " Star Wars Tales " issue came out when most of " Tales " was considered to be Infinities . The story is considered , at this point in time , non - canonical in the letters section of " Star Wars Insider 99 " . Intrigued by the character of Vos , George Lucas included him in the script of " " . But since his scene never made it past the animatics stage , an actor was never cast . However , the character is still mentioned in the final film — Obi - Wan Kenobi notifies Anakin Skywalker that " Master Vos has moved his troops to Boz Pity . " According to Randy Stradley , the fate of Vos at the end of the " Republic " series came directly from Lucas . Ostrander had initially considered killing Vos off , and an interview with Duursema in " Star Wars Insider " before the final issue ' s release claimed that he died . Quinlan Vos and Vilmarh Grahrk action figures were released by Hasbro in late April 2007 as part of their " Comic Packs " line with " Republic " # 19 . Vos was based loosely off of the Siege of Saleucami designs , while Villie ' s design was straight out of " Star Wars : Republic " # 19 . Interestingly enough , the Quinlan Vos action figure has more than a passing resemblance to actor , whose character in the film " Memento " has problems with memory loss , similar to Quinlan Vos . In 2008 Hasbro released another comic pack with Quinlan Vos and Commander Faie ( ' 08 / # 13 ) . It also included a reprint of the Star Wars : Republic # 82 comic book . Only the upper body of the Quinlan Vos figure is new ( new head , arms , and torso ) . Quinlan Vos was originally slated to appear in episode " Bombad Jedi " . He was to be working undercover and actually using his Force abilities to make it look like Jar Jar Binks was a Jedi . He was eventually cut , because at the early stages of production the studio didn ' t have the ability to include many new characters because of the time it took to create a digital model . He did eventually make it into the series , appearing in the episode " Hunt for Ziro . " He was voiced by Al Rodrigo . After " The Clone Wars " was pulled from the air in March 2013 , Dave Filoni and Brent Friedman indicated that Vos would have been featured alongside Asajj Ventress in a future story arc that never got produced . Marriage . Jan Duursema stated the following about Vos and Hentz ' s marriage : The Dark Times . Vos survived the Clone Wars , but details of his life after that point are sketchy . Around a decade before the Battle of Yavin , a young Han Solo encountered an old man matching Quinlan Vos ' s description on Socorro .
