Quinlan Vos (Dark Times)

"I've seen an alternative Kenobi, an alternative to the dogma of the Jedi and the false democracy and tyranny of this failing Republic."

- Quinlan Vos to Obi-Wan Kenobi

Quinlan Vos, commonly known as Quin to his closest friends and associates, is a Kiffar male who for most of his life, was a Jedi Knight and Master of the Jedi Order and served as a Jedi General in the Republic Armed Forces during the Clone Wars. As a youth, Quinlan's strong connection to the Force had caused him to be sought after by the Jedi Order and he was taken into the ancient religious order at a young age first arriving at the Jedi Temple on his homeward of Kiffu. When he was only 12, Quinlan Vos was taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant where he would complete his training and became a Knight of the order in 36 BBY. During his years in training, he met a young Twi'lek named Dayal Secura and she eventually became his apprentice upon achieving the status of master in the order.

During the Separatist Crisis, Vos was assigned to the Republic Intelligence Agency to aid the Galactic Republic in surveillance operations against the newly formed Confederacy of Independent Systems which began to expand greatly from dissident worlds breaking away from the Republic in various acts of secession. In 22 BBY the Clone Wars began and Quinlan Vos was present on Geonosis during the first battle of the the planet and served the Republic for the early stages of the war. After the disastrous pyrrhic victory the Republic secured during the Battle of Yadrov in 21 BBY, Vos was horrified by the atrocities committed by the Republic and became disillusioned with both the Republic and the Jedi Order as they were ignoring the actions of the Republic and the known war crimes that were being committed. When Vos was sent on a mission to infiltrate the Dark Acolytes, he was captured and persuaded by Count Dooku into defected from the Republic and the Kiffar Jedi soon fell to the Dark Side and joined Dooku and his Dark Acolyte order.

For the remainder of the war, Quinlan would act as a spy and intelligence liaison for the Dark Acolytes and the Separatist Alliance while hiding his true allegiance util 19 BBY where he made his defection public and became a field commander for the Separatist Droid Army during the Siege of Seleucami and the Battle of Kashyyyk. When Order 66 was declared, Vos was tracked down by Clone troopers and was almost killed on Kashyyk due to his past as a Jedi, but managed to survive and went into hiding.
