Quinlan Vos/Legends

Quinlan Vos (c. 60 BBY- ?) was a near-human Kiffar Jedi Master hailing originally from the planet Kiffex. With long, dreadlock-like hair and a band of pale yellow across his upper face, Vos was gifted with psychometric powers, which allowed him to read "memories" from inanimate objects through physical contact. Most Kiffar had this ability to some degree, but Quinlan's latent ability with the Force enhanced his even further.

Vos trained as a Jedi under Jedi Master Tholme and trained Aayla Secura as his own padawan. As a young apprentice, he fought with his master in the Stark Hyperspace War, where he became close friends with fellow padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Vos had an ongoing struggle with the dark side of the Force, particularly after sustaining recurring amnesia after an overdose of an illegal drug was administered by an enemy shortly after the Battle of Naboo. The Sith Lords Darth Sidious and Darth Tyranus both showed an interest in him.

A veteran of the Battle of Geonosis, Vos played a major part in the Clone Wars by infiltrating Count Dooku's inner circle under strict orders from Tholme and the Jedi Council to provide valuable information to the Jedi and the Galactic Republic. Count Dooku, however, was able to play into Vos' dark side weakness, but Vos escaped Dooku's grasp. After returning to the Jedi, Vos lead campaigns on Saleucami, Boz Pity, Felucia and Kashyyyk.

It was on Kashyyyk that Vos was apparently killed with the transmission of Order 66. While on the overseer's platform of an A6 HAVw Juggernaut, a neighboring tank fired on him, destroying the tank he had been standing on and badly wounding Vos, although he was believed dead. 

At the time of his supposed death, Khaleen Hentz was pregnant with his child.

Behind the scenes
Although Vos is based on a background character from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, he appears primarily in the Star Wars: Republic and Star Wars: Jedi comic book series from Dark Horse Comics.

He was slated to appear in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith but his scene was cut. Nevertheless, a line of dialogue in the movie still refers to a "Master Vos".

Though Vos is considered dead, he shows up again in the Star Wars Tales comic, Ghost. Quinlan Vos rescues a young Han Solo (who is trying to find a treasure using a map he won in Sabacc) from a swoop gang on Socorro. The swoop gang are hunting Quinlan because they believe him to be a Jedi. After Vos' confrontation with young Solo, he disappears into the shadows, never to be seen again. However, as Star Wars Tales is considered to be Infinities, this story is most likely apocryphal.
