Xander Vos

Xander Vos was a male Human/Kiffar Jedi Master at the time of 50 ABY. Xander Vos was the Grand-Son of famed Jedi Master Quinlan Vos, and the son of Korto Vos and Lysa Sornfree, a Jedi Knight during the Clone Wars.

Xander Vos had left home at only the age of ten, and had become a Jedi Apprentice at twelve, spending the next seventeen years as a Padawan to Jedi Master Vikro. After an incident at Thespis, Xander was promoted to Jedi Knight, and served the Order well over the next years.

By 50 ABY, Xander had been made Jedi Master, and in 71 ABY he took part in the Darth Dude Conflict, at which many Jedi he had known through his life took part, some being killed, many triumphing against their adversary. His children, Ben, Lysa, Vikro and Tyler also took part, on different worlds, in the end of the Conflict, and he was proud of them to no end.

The final major conflict of his life was the Yuuzhan Vong miniature invasion of the planet Qiilura at which the Jedi and Sith temporary rejoined in an alliance to defeat the powerful new threat. The firebreathers the Yuuzhan Vong brought destroyed much of the planet, but in the end, the Jedi and Sith triumphed.

Xander was killed when the Sith invaded Bakura, and attempted to assassinate Grand Master Abba. He, along with his long time friend, Lyn Korak, died fighting to their last breath against the invaders.

=Biography=

Early life (6 BBY - 4 ABY)
"I was but a boy; younger then you are now, when I began my journey..."

- Xander Vos to his Apprentice Wes Odo

Xander Vos was born to Korto Vos and Lysa Sornfree on Tatooine, after his parents were forced to flee Naboo because of the Imperials. Xander helped his father on their moisture farm, reapiring any droids that broke down, helping him gain skills with droids. While Xander was young, he sometimes found things with an intuitive sense, or levitated objects. Whenever he did so, his mother punished him, and Xander grew to believe that it was natural for all young children to develope and then lose these "powers".

He was close friends with Jysek Talore, who's father owned a local star-ship dealer. Jysek and Xander were close friends and, when Xander reached the age of ten, George - Jysek's father - gave them each a restored X-Wing. George had found the craft in the Jundland Wastes assumably from some battle between the Rebels and Imperials.

Leaving Tatooine (4 ABY - 6 ABY)
"You, my son, are quite a pilot, and only a beginner at that."

- Lysa Sornfree to her son.

When his parents heard the news that Emperor Palpatine had been killed above Endor, they rejoiced. However, months later when Xander received his X-Wing, there was still heated debate as to whether they should allow him to leave. Finally, caving in, Korto wished Xander well on his journey, giving him Krayt Dragon boots, and the blaster with which his own mother had saved Quinlan Vos' life. Hoping to leave on his own and visit his Grand-Mother's grave before he begun his journey, little did Xander know that Jysek followed him.

Adventures
Together with Jysek, Xander travelled to many worlds such as Corellia, and Bothawui. They begun their journey on Naboo and travelled through much of the Galaxy over a few months in search of something they could do to truly make a difference in the Galaxy.

Naboo
Xander travelled to Naboo on his own to visit the grave of his Grand-Mother, Khaleen Hentz. Upon arrival he was greeted with fear and anger by the space port authorities due to an increased Imperial presence quite some time ago due to the rumored presence of Jedi, and one in particular, Quinlan Vos.

Convincing the man to allow him to land, Xander was greeted by a site he had never expected: Jysek's X-Wing. He greeted his friend with anger, telling him to return home, but Jysek refused, telling Xander he would travel with his childhoos friend. Xander relented and the pair refuelled and travelled on to the mountain at which Khaleen was buried.

Visiting the meager grave, Xander gave her a proper shrine in honour of all she had done, despite him never knowing her. Finally he agreed to leave again with Jysek, and the pair left Naboo forever, or so Xander hoped, much to the pleasure of the authorities.

Corellia
After leaving Naboo, Jysek decided they should travel to the most well known planet outside Coruscant just to get perspective on how far they had come from Tatooine. A private motive, however, was that his family had come from Corellia, and Jysek hoped to discover what his parents had built on the planet in the form of Talore Travels.

On Corellia, Xander was drawn to a museum which told the extensive history of legends, myths, and rumors on the planet. He was particularly interested in one which told of the mythical hellish species the Xargressians. It told of how they had ravaged Corellia over four thousand years before, but that Jedi had arrived on planet, and soon afterwards all reports were quelled. This rumor was rediculous, the Jedi could not have exterminated an entire species so quickly, and even if they could have, they would not. However, Xander was intrigued by the descriptions of the various known members of the species, as well as their long lives.

Jysek followed trails to the ruined warehouse where much of his parents business had taken place. He picked up the story from passers by about what had happened. After his parents had left the planet the family business had continued for a short time, but that local gangs had graffitied the warehouse and destroyed much of the produce, and eventually the business had been given up: without George there to guide production there was no use in continuing.

Xander and Jysek rendez-voused at the private hangar their X-Wings had been docked in, reserved for Talore family members, and - much to their pleasure - found their craft refuelled and repainted, with all the smudges, scratches and dings from their space travel repaired, and an upgrade to their shielding as well as their hyperdrive.

Bothawui
After leaving Corellia, they travelled to various planets near Corellia, before taking a large leap back towards the Outer Rim to Bothawui. Xander finally decided that they would need to be armed to face threats if they faced any, and he and Jysek bought blasters and vibroswords to protect themselves. They decided they should test their ability, and researched any menacing gangs on nearby planets.

Destiny Awaits
Xander and Jysek soon found themselves on Kinyen, where they hoped to defeat Black Haven, a local gang that had been murdering many of the inhabitants. Caught out of their league the two were captured for several months before the arrival of Jedi Master Vikro distracted the Black Haven gang long enough for them to escape. However, their craft was severely damaged during the escape, and they barely limped to Lorta, the closest planet.

There, they recuperated, planning to move on once they could repair the ship. However, an unlikely coincidence brought the Kroprulan Empire, that had been raiding the Outer Rim in their own Outer Rim Seiges, struck the world whilst they were there, leaving Xander grievously wounded, and Jysek dead.

Asil "Shatterpoint" Leikane and Koras Aldamar arrived at the planet to repel the invasion, and whilst Koras struck back in space, Asil went down to the planet, saving Xander's lfe just as a Sith, Darth Lanik, was to strike the final blow.

Discovering his Force talent, Asil brought Xander to the Jedi Temple on Bakura, hidden through the Force, and on the outskirts of any civilisation. There, Vikro realised that this was the boy he had been having visions of, and pledged to train him. At this time Xander Vos was twelve years old.

Histories
Xander met many Jedi in the Temple, such as Urwen Udeesie and Lyn Korak, who he became close friends with. The Council knew, however that like most Jedi in the Order, Xander needed to be taught the history of the Order, and so he began tutelage under Obi-Tyler, who explained the extensive history of the Order, and how it fit with the rest of the Galaxy during various Galactic events. He also explained how the Jedi Order was founded by the parents of Atalia Zavier, the founder of the recently discovered Sith Empire. Much of the history that he was taught in regards to the Sith Empire was discovered with the recent release of Holonet reports from Kroprulu so as to inspire fear in the Galaxy as to their origins.

Later Xander discovered that a lot of the information had been propaganda, and dismissed it as false, however some of the information was accurate, and provided a detailed look at the workings of the Sith Empire.

Padawan (6 ABY - 23 ABY)
"I promise to serve the Jedi Order well, to learn all that I can and more from Vikro, and most of all to remain loyal to this Order until all breath leaves my lungs."

- Xander pledging himself to Vikro, as his Apprentice.

Xander spent the next seventeen years as Vikro's Apprentice, learning several important lessons, as well as Vikro's unique "Force Shove". The Apprenticeship was considered one of the most successful of the Order, with Xander going from a fiery youth to a contained, well mannered Jedi Knight, completing countless successful missions on his own or with support.

Mission to Naboo
The first mission Xander and Vikro were sent on was a mission to Naboo to investigat reports of a Sith invasion of the peaceful planet. They arrived to find much of the northern continent ravaged, and Xander raced to the shrine he had built of his Grandmother, which he discovered to have been destroyed personally by Sith troops.

Blinded by anger, he struck out at Vikro, his rage consuming him. Vikro stopped him, and harshly explained the dangers of sinking into his rage and letting it control him. Xander became fearful of his actions, especially after what he had learnt about his Grand-Father from Obi-Tyler.

The pair then travelled on to Theed where they talked at length with the current Queen. Apparently a Sith fleet had arrived above the planet and wiped out their orbital platforms. The Sith had landed and killed much of the planet's militia, and even a Gungun army had failed in the path of the Sith.

Vikro became concerned with the growing power of the Sith, and made a special note to discuss these concerns with the Jedi Council on their return to Bakura. Xander mainly stayed in the background, learning much from Vikro's skills as a negotiator.

Mission to Thespis
Their final mission, which also involved Lyn Korak, a close friend and bunk mate of Xander's, sent them into Thespis, a Bakuran city. They were told that several people were being held hostage in a hope to steal the entire funds in the city's bank. However, once there, the four - Lyn's Master Kavar was also there because of his Apprentice - were greeted by an empty city. Approahing cautiously, they were ambushed by a large group of pirates who seemed to have been hired by someone to kill the Jedi.

Kavar showed why he had been promoted to Jedi Master at such a young age, killing many of them whilst Xander, Vikro, and Lyn finished the rest. Realising that the real inhabitants of the town must be being held hostage somewhere else, they eventually discovered caves on the outskirts of Thespis, where they found the rest of the militia, as well as the city's inhabitants.

There, at the age of twenty-nine, Xander Vos walked dangerously close to the Dark Side. When a pirate leapt at Vikro with the intention to kill him, Xander unleashes a jet of Force Lightening to save his Master. His Master was furious with him, but Xander managed to come up with a logical reason for him to have used the power.

However, this moment worried him for several months after the battle, and his Apprentice Wes Odo also argued with him constantly about it. He never used the power again except for in his short spell as Darth Cious.

Jedi Knight (23 ABY - 50 ABY)
After his strong effort at Thespis, Lyn Korak and Xander Vos stood side by side for the first time as Jedi Knights, no longer Padawans. Xander vowed that he would do whatever it took to defeat the Sith, and became the Blade of Light for the Jedi. Luke Skywalker bestowed a similar title upon Jaina Solo at the ceremony before the fateful mission to Myrkr, though it is unknown if the two titles are linked.

Contemplation
Only weeks after becoming a Jedi Knight, Xander took a week away from the Temple, journeying to Utupau, where he observed life as it was at its most basic. There, Xander realised how alone he was, no longer having a guiding figure, or a supportive friend near him. On Utapau, Xander participated in solving a dispute between two Utai, and made a poor mistake, resulting in the death of one of the two. Xander was shatterred by this mistake on his part, his confidence in his abilities faltering.

Returning to the Jedi Temple, Xander explained this to Vikro, who told him the Force would always be his ally, and that in similar disputes he needed to listen more carefully to the Force. Accepting this, Xander turned to a more insightful look of the Force, and became an effective Jedi Knight.

Invasion of Bespin
Many months later, Xander, Lyn, and Padmé Dral were sent to Bespin to observe the gas canisters that supplied the Temple with its fuel. Usually only one or two Knights were sent, but as Xander and Lyn were new Jedi Knights, Padmé aided them on the mission.

What begun as such a routine mission quickly spiralled into disaster as the Sith Empire launched its final battle of the Outer Rim Seiges, sending an entire fleet to destroy the gas platforms of Bespin. Comandeering a modified YT-2400 craft, which he quickly christened the Swift Eagle, Xander flew up to intercept the many TIE fighters, with Padmé in one of the gun turrets, and Lyn in the other. The two clocked many kills as Xander desperately contacted the Jedi Council.

Submerged in the Force, he fought on, finally forced to land, as one of the engines took a heavy hit from a turbo laser canon. As more Star Destroyers appeared in space, Xander feared the worse. However, the craft that appeared were Star Defenders, part of a hidden fleet that the Jedi Council used on the rarest occasions. Ironically, the last time it had been used was the first battle of the seiges, where it had saved Xander's life.

As the three watched from the ground, a modified craft crashed to the ground, a wounded Sith emerging. The three captured the Sith, and so begun the life of Anakin as a Jedi.

Wes Odo
Returning from the mission, Xander took his own Apprentice, Wes Odo, after his previous Master, Kavar, had abandoned him. The pair seemed fine at the beginning of the Apprenticeship. Wes worked well with Xander, learning much from him, and improving his fighting skills immensly.

Mission to Eriadu
In 31 ABY, however, when they journeyed with Lyn Korak and his Apprentice Leon Danex to finalize an alliance with Anakin and his newly formed Outer Rim Syndicate, their relationship begun to fall apart. Upon returning from the mission, he and Wes argued harshly, forcing them apart. Wes broke out, arguing viciously about Xander's former flirtations with the Dark Side. Xander admitted regretfully that his former experiences were not the best examples of how a Jedi should act, but that it was no excuse for a repeat of such behaviour in his Apprentice.

Reverting above Kinyen where Xander was hoping to show his Apprentice the journey he had taken to become a Jedi, the pair was attacked by a pirate craft bearing the signs of Black Haven, and Xander was knocked unconcious. Wes was forced to fight for the man he had argued viciously with only hours before. Fighting the five pirates, he managed to incapacitate them all, waking Xander, and forming a firm friendship with him, a bond that couldn't be broken. Xander finished training Wes, and gave a small speech whilst the boy was knighted.

Crushing Revelation
Deciding to return home to visit his parents, Xander travelled to Tatooine just in time for a rare rain storm on the planet. He left his ship and discovered the ruins of Mos Hurga, from where the Massacre of Tatooine had partially taken place. Using an emerging Force Power that allowed him to view events through an object, he watched the battle through his mother's eyes, right up to her and Xander's father's death at the hands of Darth Minious.

As the rain poured from the sky, Xander howled at the cruelty of what had occurred, and swore to kill Darth Minious if it was the last act he did. After two hours, he managed to compose himself, and he returned to the Temple, slightly more withdrawn from others than he had been, never discussing his discovery with anyone except his wife.

Darth Cious
News filtered through whilst Xander was training his Apprentice that his old Master, Vikro, had been killed on a mission to Korriban. Stricken by grief, Xander finished training Wes, vowing not to take another Apprentice, as it would remind him of the time he had spent by Vikro's side. After his marriage to Mia Romis, however, he named his first child Vikro to honour his old Master, and to remember the brilliance he had possessed.

In 40 ABY however, the Council received word from their informartives within the ORS that the Jewel which had killed Vikro by draining him of the Force had survived on Korriban. Journeying to the planet with Dakoth, Padmé, Jaden, and Lyn, Xander drew himself into the Jewel, becoming Darth Cious, which fuelled his rage and frustration at his Master's death that had built up within him.

Discovering that Vikro lived on as Darth Vicarious, Darth Cious duelled with him to become the Jewel's only servant. The duel was interupted by the other Jedi Knights, who snapped a trigger in Vicarious' brain, reverting him to Vikro, Jedi Master, after appealing to his better nature.

Darth Cious, to far into his anger to return, showed off with Lyn in an abandoned Temple, the Jewel by his side. Firing a powerful stream of Force Lightning, that would not dissapitate until it hit a target, Cious and Lyn fought hard, the lightning swirling around them.

Finally the lightning struck the Jewel, shattering its hold on Xander Vos, repressing the newly created Darth Cious deep within him, who awoke to find Lyn struggling to carry him from the doomed Temple. Racing to Lyn's ship, the duo fled Korriban, returning to Bakura where Xander was reunited with Vikro. After this mission, however, Xander became much harsher, testament to the darkness that now lay within him.

Jedi Master (50 ABY - 79 ABY)
After the events on Korriban, the Council was unsure about promoting Xander to Jedi Master, choosing instead to promote the others from the mission. Xander was forced to watch as Dakoth and Lyn became Jedi Masters, as he remained as a Jedi Battlemaster.

However, after many years, he was finally given the position, and he took an Apprentice, Cain Mhoon. This was an expression of faith to the Jedi Council. Cain's mother was also the mother of Lanik Shin'se, the man who, as a boy, had taken Xander's left arm on Lorta all those years ago.

Cain proved to be an exceptional student, excelling in every form, and became a Jedi Knight twenty years before the final battle of the Dude Conflict - the Battle of Reldar Prime.

Children
Although Xander had taken Cain as his Apprentice, his own child Ben was hoping to become his father's Apprentice. Xander promised to take him as his Apprentice after he finished training his current padawan, who at the time was Mindal Reynolt, an excellent student who Xander admired very much. Ben became quite withdrawn and bitter towards Xander due to the pressure that had been put on him because of the fame that Xander held.

Xander struggled to retain his peace within himself as elements of Darth Cious rose again within him, feeding off his guilt and anger at his son, and Xander was forced to leave the Order for a year. What happened during that year is unknown to everyone except him.

Intertwined Destinies
Xander had always had close bonds with his Apprentices, however the one that he held with Mindal was the closest of all. When Xander took Mindal as his Apprentice, he saw so much of himself in Mindal, and the pair bonded instantly, unusual as his other Apprentices had usually taken long to get used to his intense style of training.

Over the years the two became close friends, almost brothers - despite their huge age difference.

Only six years later, at the Battle of Reldar Prime, the pair, as well as Cain Mhoon, Vikro, Lyn Korak and Wes Odo faught to protect the Jedi Praxeum on Reldar Prime alongside many other Jedi. The Apprentices, the Masters, and the friends. Together, to stop Darth Dude.

Mindal found himself promoted sooner than usual, in 75 ABY. Soon afterwards, Xander finally took his son as his Apprentice only a few months after Mindal's promotion.

Family Ties
Four years after the Battle of Reldar Prime, the Yuuzhan Vong made a reappearence in the Galaxy in the Invasion of Qiilura, and Xander and his son were sent with many Jedi to deal with this threat that had come at the worst of times for the Order, splintering it further as it was beginning to repair itself.

Lyn Korak, who headed the mission, told Xander while he was aboard the Abba that the Republic was fraying with corruption, and instead of the Jedi depending on them for protection, the roles had reversed, and the Jedi were being ordered to defend to Republic from the newly resurgent Yuuzhan Vong.

Disturbed by this news, Xander and his son fought hard against the Yuuzhan Vong, eventually defeating them despite the damage that they caused Qiilura with their firebreathers. Returning to Bakura, Xander presented the need to the Council to disband the Republic. Two years later, Xander was successful, and several corrupt politicians were unearthed, and the Republic was disbanded.

Council Member (79 ABY - 86 ABY)
Xander was promoted to Council Member in the wake of the miniature Yuuzhan Vong invasion due to the pressure put on the Council by Lyn Korak, who had been made a Jedi Council member quite some time earlier. Finally, he was added to the Council, and he served on it until his death.

Gone With the Force
In the aftermath of the miniature war with the Vong, Xander promoted Ben, who in 80 ABY became a Jedi Knight, the last of Xander's children to acheive the rank. After heated discussions amongst the Council Members, they decided the time to move was now, and, in 86 ABY the majority of the Order left Bakura for their new home. Xander, Lyn, Abba and many other Jedi who were left were caught by a Sith invasion. Fighting desperately for their lives, Xander managed to protect Abba from the potential assassination for only a limited amount of time, as first Lyn was killed by the encroaching Sith, and then Xander, after killing Darth Minious, he was killed by the mysterious Darth Mauv.

Legacy
Xander left behind him a large legacy - four children who served the Jedi Order in extremly different ways. After Xander's death in 86 ABY, the Jedi Order commissioned the building of a Star Defender with his name, the Xander which flew in many missions in the New Sith War, many a time with one of his children at the helm.

Vikro Vos, his oldest child, went on to become the Head Librarian in the Jedi Order's Library on their new world, and he helped categorize information in a much more efficient way, and unearthed many surprising bits of data that the previous librarian had not discovered. He was widely reguarded as one of the best Librarians that had served the Order.

Ben Vos, whilst highly volatile, left the Jedi Order following his father's death, and became a problem for the Order, as they feared he may join the Sith and reveal their new world to their enemies. However, Ben merely left the Order for quite some time and has yet to return.

Lysa Vos became a Jedi Brute, due to the fact that she was unable to use Force Telekinesis, meaning that she became highly proficient with her lightsaber skills. She trained several Apprentices for the Order, such as Lariz Cor, who was a brilliant Jedi Knight.

Tyler Vos, the final of the Vos children, also had a promising career. He served as a Jedi Sniper - using long range Force Powers over his lightsaber - during the Darth Dude Conflict. He had been the second Vos child to be promoted to Jedi Knight, and later went on to become a head figure in the Jedi Order's Navy, serving mainly aboard the Xander.

=Romances=

Clare Gryndu
During his Apprenticeship, Xander met a fellow padawan, Clare, who he soon developed feelings for. The two begun to date, and became very serious towards the end of Xander's Apprenticeship. Xander had plans to marry her, and she felt the same way about him. However, Xander realised that Clare was not his true soulmate, after going on a few missions with her as Jedi Knights, not as Padawans. He found her techniques when left to choose her own paths were far different from his, and as such conflicted with everything he had though she was. Xander was heartbroken, and consulted Vikro on how to treat his feelings for Clare as opposed to the now strong feels of distance from her, and Vikro advised him to remain friends with her, rather than to get romantically attached, and when Xander told Clare this, she accepted it without qualms, having also sensed a distancing between the pair. The two remained friends, and Clare even attended Xander's wedding to Mia.

Mia Romis
In 31 ABY the last thoughts on Xander's mind were that of a possible romance. Freshly returned from Eriadu, where he had negotiated an alliance between the ORS and the Jedi Order, he met Mia Romis. He had previously given no thought to even the remotest possibility of love, but upon meeting Mia Romis that all changed. The stunningly beautiful Jedi Knight from Denon melted Xander's heart and the two fell in love. Courting her for several years, Xander finally proposed, and the two married a year after Wes Odo's training was complete, in 36 ABY. They spent their honeymoon on one of the worlds that had previously been destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong but was now in the process of being rebuilt, giving it a beautifully organic look that the two loved.

Vikro Vos
After hearing of the death of his old Master at Korriban, and the nearing birth of his son, Xander decided to name him after his Master in commemoration, and so, in 37 ABY, Vikro Vos was born.

Further Children
In the years to come, Xander was also blessed with twins Ben Vos and Lysa Vos in 41 ABY, and a final son, Tyler Vos in 42 ABY. The four grew up together at the Temple, although over time, the four drew apart. Vikro became more interested in the history of the Order, Ben became spiteful about the way he was treated by those he considered friends after they realised he was related to Quinlan Vos. Only Lysa and Tyler stayed in constant contact, even though Lysa became a Jedi Brute, a much more physical role than would have been expected of her, much to the dismay of Xander and Mia.

=Xander's Lightsaber=

Xander used one, and only one, lightsaber through his life. He fashioned it before becoming Vikro's Apprentice from blueprints the Jedi Archives held on Quinlan Vos' lightsaber.

The lightsaber's crystal was a dark emerald, and gave the blade a much darker tinge to that of a normal emerald lightsaber. The blade sharpened to a point at its base, and this reflected Xander's preference to render enemies unconcious by smashing the base of his lightsaber into their skull.

The lightsaber was encased in a golden glasp, with the rest of the blade a gleaming silver. The golden clasp was magnetic, and clipped onto his belt. The lightsaber had been built under the guidance of Obi-Tyler.

=Personality and Traits=

Xander was usually a calm and kind Jedi, who quickly became friends with people, but would slip out of friendships later if he discovered that the person held beliefs that did not correlate with his own. He had a dry, sarcastic manner quite a lot of the time, and could be quite cynical.

As his Apprentice Wes Odo discovered, Xander also had a large sense of humor, which he used constatntly in dealing with his Padawan in his attempts to make Wes open up more to Xander.

Annoyances
After reverting from Darth Cious, Xander became quick to anger whenever an inexperienced Jedi Youngling asked him a question about something that he perceived to be quite simple. He would snap at them, and on occasions would reduce them to tears. Vikro and Abba both talked to him about this problem, but conceeded that he was not going to change any time soon.

Likes

 * Xander liked to, on occasion, curl up with a datapad beneath a tree in the courtyard of the Jedi Temple and soak in the warmth. If he were disturbed during this time he would ignore the person until they realised he did not want to be disturbed, and left him alone.
 * Xander also liked to take his craft, the Swift Eagle and fly out into space and test his reflexes against asteroids or just perform complex tricks.

Dislikes

 * Xander absolutely despised people who lied. If he ever discovered that a friend - even if they had been a friend for years - had lied to him, he would rarely speak to them again, and if he did, he would speak stiffly and clearly convey his distaste for them.

=Behind the Scenes=
 * Xander Vos was created by Xander Vos, a member of The Jedi Order Forum. Xander Vos's - the creator's - real name is Alex, who derived Xander from the end of Alexander.
 * The name for Xander's first crush, Clare Gryndu, is an anagram of Alex's first crush.
 * Ben Vos, Xander's son, the only child not named after an obvious character in the Order, is Alex's favourite name.

Fanfictions
Xander Vos has been mentioned in The Life of Empress Saber, a story epic in its own class, and is set to appear in the sequel, Aftermath. Xander Vos is the main character in the story Destiny Eclipse, and sketchy rumors of a sequel to Destiny Eclipse say it will explore his relationship with his wife and children, as well as explore his Apprenticeship more, as well as his time with each of his Padawans.

Destiny Eclipse
Destiny Eclipse revolves around Xander's arrival at the Jedi Temple, and his struggles with the Dark Side over the years. The title itself suggests an ominous turn of events at the end, or something similar.

Life of Empress Saber
The Life of Empress Saber mainly revolves around the Sith Empire, but Xander makes the occasional appearence in the Jedi scenes, and is one of the Jedi during the Battle of Reldar Prime who fights to defend the Jedi Praxeum on Reldar Prime, the major battle of the story.

Sequel to Destiny Eclipse
Tentative rumors suggest that there could be a possible sequel to Destiny Eclipse, though there are no characters set to appear in it except for Xander Vos and his family, if it is to be written at all. The author currently has plans for a series of short stories before he even begins to contemplate writing a sequel.
