Huris Von was a Jedi Master and a Commander in the Jedi Coalition during the Mezzilenic War.

Biography
When the Coalition decided to move against the Republic commander Behn-Kehn-Mehn on the planet Shola, Von was given command of the mission's ground forces. Arriving at the planet, the Coalition commander Argst Perdel was unabe to bombard the enemy positions due to the volcanic activity on the planet. So Von was dispatched with an assault force to locate the Republic base and set up a tracker that would allow the Republic fleet to launch an orbital strike and obliterate it.

Although his forces were able to land and began to march on the base, Republic troops fought them every step of the way and eventually the attack stalled when the Republic were able to hold a narrow valley along the only route to the base. However Jedi Padawan Thame Cerulian suggested an flanking attack over the cooling lava river and convinced that it was the only option, Von allowed Thame to lead that attack. Thame managed to cross the lava and attack the Republic forces, allowing Von's main army to break through, forcing the Republic back to their base where they dug in. Von was able to call in some gunships that blew away the Republic defenders and allowed Coalition troops to set up the tracker so that Von could give the go-ahead for the fleet to open fire and the Republic base, along with Behn-Kehn-Mehn was destroyed.
