The Son was a Humanoid who was part of a family of powerful Force-users living on Mortis during the Clone Wars.

Biography
He, his sister and their father became anchorites at some point, shutting themselves off from the rest of the galaxy on the planet Mortis, the Son becoming the incarnation of the dark side of the Force, while the Daughter became the incarnation of the light side of the Force. When the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano visited the planet, the Son came into conflict with his sibling, the Daughter, and the Father attempted to stop their confrontation.

The Son had set a trap for his sister that separated Anakin from Ahsoka and Obi-Wan. When night fell, he went to Obi-Wan and Ahsoka and asked them if Anakin was the Chosen One. The two Jedi prepared to fight thinking he was a Sith. The Son ended the fight before it began by deactivating their lightsabers and saying he was and wasn't Sith. He then warned them of the storms on Mortis and flew away.

His work was not done. He went to Anakin in the shape of his mother, Shmi Skywalker Lars. He used this shape to tell Skywalker to let go of his guilt. When Anakin revealed that he had a wife, the Son was furious, stating that was not his destiny and briefly showing his true Gargoyle form before departing. Later on, the Son and his sister captured Ahsoka and Obi-Wan, respectively, on their father's orders. They were then ordered to kill them as a test for Anakin to see which one he would be able to save. But Anakin stopped them both using the Force of Mortis, proving he was the Chosen One. This was actually a test to see if Anakin was the Chosen One. Anakin was asked to stay on Mortis to replace the dying Father and maintain the balance with the powers of the Daughter and Son. But Anakin refused and prepared to depart.

Aboard the ship, Anakin had a dream of the Son trying to seduce him to the Dark Side although Anakin refused and woke up. But then, the Son infiltrated the ship and kidnapped Ahsoka. Transforming into his gargoyle-form, he took Ahsoka to a high tower,managing to lose Skywalker and Kenobi who were chasing him. Over there, he tied Ahsoka up and while she was unconscious, he transformed into a little blue creature. When Ahsoka awoke and struggled to break free, he told here there was no hope and he attempted to seduce her to the Dark Side but to no avail. He opened up Ahsoka binders but then, he bit her wrist and she fell unconscious. The Son transformed back into himself and watched as Ahsoka was consumed by the Dark Side due to the bite. He then joined Father and Daughter back in the monastry where Father felt that the Son was growing stronger with the Dark Side. His Father tried convincing him to stop his activities or else he would be forced to contain him. The Son reacted angrily to this and after a few words, he grew impatient and moved to kill Father there and then by shocking him with lightning. The Father fell down the stairs, right in front of Kenobi who had seperated from Skywalker who had gone to find Ahsoka. The Son then transformed into the gargoyle and flew right past Kenobi to the place where he had left Ahsoka. Unknown to him, the Daughter decided that the Son should be stopped once and for all. After she took care of her Father, she led Kenobi to the Altar of Mortis where the Dagger of Mortis was being kept. That dagger was the only weapon strong enough to kill beings as strong as Son. Meanwhile, Anakin Skywalker had found Ahsoka but because Ahsoka had been poisoned by the Dark Side, she attacked Anakin and Anakin was forced to defend himself. The Son was watching the duel from a high tower when he was confronted by Kenobi and Daughter. But when Kenobi learned about Anakin and Ahsoka, he rushed outside to aide his former Padawan, leaving only the Daughter with the Son.

The Daughter tried again to convince the Son to stop his doings but the Son simply refused, claiming that all the fury and anger was feeding him. The Daughter then attempted to run towards the dueling Jedi and stop the fighting but the Son stepped in and using the Force, threw her side. The Daughter regained her footing and then retaliated by Force Lifting Son off the ground and then slamming him back down. While the Jedi and the Force-users were fighting, Father regained consciousness back at the monastery. The Son and Daughter kept hurling Force Power at each other, at one point, they fought as animals too, the Daughter as the Griffin and the Son as the Gargoyle. But eventually, both managed to reduce one another to their human form and then were locked in Force Powers. However, Father arrived and while he ordered them to stop, he used the Force to fling both his children through the glass and out of the building, falling to the ground below where the Jedi were dueling. Their duel ceased when the duo landed on the ground.
