## Biography

### Early Life

**Quinlan Vos** was born on the planet Kiffu the homeworld of the Kiffar, a near Human species noted for their innate talent for psychometricy and distinctive facial tattoos denoting clan affiliation. As a member of the Vos Clan on his homeworld, Quinlan was reluctantly allowed to abandon his family's strong tradition as law enforcers on Kiffu to become a Jedi.

### Becoming a Jedi Knight

As a youngling Quinlan would meet several other initiates destined for glory in the Jedi Order like Obi-Wan Kenobi. The two would later become good friends after ascending to the rank of padawan with Vos training under Jedi Master Tholme and Kenobi with Qui-Gon Jinn. Quinlan would in time become a Jedi Knight who was known for his impulsive behavior and exceptional talent with the Force. Some years after attaining Knight status Vos took on a young Twi'lek who he had met and saved from a group of slavers on Ryloth years before as his padawan learner. This Twi'lek girl, Aayla Secura, would become a respected Jedi who served with distinction in the Clone Wars.

### Hunt for Ziro

During the Clone Wars, Vos teamed with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi to track Ziro, a Hutt crime lord who escaped from prison on Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic. Vos deduced that Ziro had been freed by bounty hunter Cad Bane, which led Vos and Kenobi onto the trail of Ziro and the bounty hunter. Their mission took them to Nal Hutta, the Hutt homeworld, and eventually to Teth, where they discovered that Ziro had been killed. Although Bane, also on Teth, did not kill Ziro—the crime was committed by Ziro's former lover, Sy Snootles—the two Jedi attempted but failed to arrest him due to his criminal record.

### Partnership with Ventress

Later in the war, Vos was partnered with Asajj Ventress, a former dark side assassin, to assassinate the Sith Lord Count Dooku, the brutal leader of the Separatists. The duo was unsuccessful in their attempt. Vos succumbed to the dark side in an attempt to uncover the identity of Dooku's master, Darth Sidious. However, he was brought back to the light side through his love for Ventress. During the war's final days, Vos commanded Grand Army of the Republic forces on Boz Pity.
