Wiki so ignore the garbadge
Quinlan Vos is a fictional character from the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Although Quinlan is seen as 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.
Quinlan Vos is a near-human Kiffar Jedi Knight hailing originally from the planet Kiffex. He has long, dreadlock-like hair and a band of pale yellow across his upper face. He is gifted with psychometric powers, which allow him to read "memories" from inanimate objects through physical contact. Quinlan trained as a Jedi under Jedi Master Tholme. He later trained Aayla Secura as his own Padawan. Quinlan has a long history of struggle with the dark side of the Force, particularly after sustaining permanent amnesia due to an overdose of an illegal drug administered by an enemy.
Quinlan played a major part in the Clone Wars by infiltrating Count Dooku's Inner Circle and giving information to the Jedi. He was led back to the dark side of the Force by Count Dooku, and shortly worked as a triple agent against the Republic, until his true colors were shown when he assassinated a senator. In the end, though, it turned out that Vos had been loyal to the Republic all along, although in order to completely infiltrate Dooku's Inner Circle he had to fool even those on the Republic's side into thinking that he was allied with Dooku, and commited many evil deeds in the process. During the Battle of Saleucami, Vos revealed his true loyalties, overcoming Dooku's temptations to truly turn him to the dark side and killing the Dark Jedi Sora Bulq.
Shortly after this, Quinlan's love interest Khaleen revealed she had a child on the way. Quinlan told Khaleen to go to the far edges of the galaxy where she and their unborn child would be safe, and promised that once the Clone Wars were over he would leave the Jedi Order and find her. This revelation sets up the possibility of a powerfully Force Sensitive offsping. It is likely that the story of Quinlan and Khaleen's child will be told at some point in the future, either through comic books, novels, or perhaps even the Star Wars TV series that George Lucas is planning.

Returning to the Republic, Vos was given command of a battalion of Clonetroopers, and moved his troops to Boz Pity. This is mentioned by Obi-Wan Kenobi in Revenge of the Sith when news of the events concerning the Clone Wars is heard at the Jedi Temple. In the comic book novelization of Episode III, Quinlan Vos is on Kashyyyk riding on top of a Clone Turbo Tank when Supreme Chancellor Palpatine issues Order 66 to the Clonetroopers throughout the galaxy, causing them to turn on their Jedi Generals. Another tank fires at the one Quinlan is riding on, and Quinlan is presumably killed in the fire. Lucas planned to have this scene appear in the movie, but never got around to filming it.
It has recently been revealed that Quinlan Vos survived this attack, and went into hiding on Kashyyyk, although what happened to him after that is still unknown. On the Dark Horse website, a preview for Republic #83 is given detailed the plot of this upcoming storyline: "Palpatine's Order 66 has changed everything. As Jedi are slaughtered across the galaxy, one has managed to cheat fate-but for how long? Badly wounded by the same troops he just led to victory, Master Quinlan Vos retreats into the jungle wilderness of the Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk. As the clones close in, Vos must choose-stay and fight, or run and put those he loves in danger of the newborn Empire's wrath?"
