His mother , the Human spy Khaleen Hentz , had fled to the Wookiee homeworld after Jedi across the galaxy — including Vos ' s father , the Kiffar Jedi Master Quinlan Vos — were targeted for death as part of a plan by the Republic ' s Supreme Chancellor to seize control of the galaxy . However , Quinlan survived the Great Jedi Purge and made his way to Kashyyyk , where Vos , Hentz , and two other Jedi Masters were living under the protection of the Wookiee Palsaang clan . The young Vos was greeted by his father , who applied traditional Kiffar " qukuuf " tattoos to his face and proclaimed that he would never be touched by the dark side of the Force . Biography . Korto Vos was the son of Khaleen Hentz , a Human female spy , and Quinlan Vos , a male Kiffar Jedi Master . He was conceived by a physical union of the two in 19 BBY on the planet Saleucami during the final weeks of the Clone Wars . While the young Vos was developing inside his mother ' s womb , Hentz went into hiding . Across the galaxy , clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic gunned down their Jedi Generals in a bid by the Republic ' s Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to wipe out the Jedi Order and seize control of the galaxy . Believing Quinlan to be dead , Hentz followed advice he had previously given her and fled to the planet Kashyyyk alongside the Jedi Masters Tholme and T ' ra Saa , who were enemies of the newly - declared Galactic Empire . The three were taken in by Wookiees of the Palsaang clan , and Hentz gave birth to the young Vos while living on the Wookiee homeworld . Vos began his life as a black - haired , fair - skinned Human / Kiffar hybrid who , like his father , was sensitive to the Force . He was born into Clan Vos , a family who had until recently ruled the twin planets of Kiffex and Kiffu . A playful boy , Vos enjoyed grabbing at dangling objects . His full name , " Korto Vos , " had been an alias previously used by Quinlan on several undercover missions during the war . Eight months after the Chancellor ' s betrayal of the Jedi and the end of the war , Vos , his mother , and their Jedi companions were in a cave , protected by Gumbaeki , the leader of the Palsaang clan . The young Wookiee Chak was playing with Vos while the others activated a holocron of Quinlan ' s that they had discovered on - world . Quinlan was in fact alive and well , and he arrived at the cave as they listened , accompanied by the Devaronian smuggler Vilmarh Grahrk . Eight months prior , Grahrk had kept a gravely injured Quinlan safe from traitorous clone troopers , and the Devaronian had later nursed him back to health . In the cave , Quinlan met his new son for the first time and immediately applied traditional Kiffar " qukuuf " tattoos to Vos ' s face . He then proclaimed that his son ' s destiny was his own , but that Vos would nevertheless be kept safe from the touch of the dark side of the Force . Behind the scenes .
