Devar Gann was a Human male employed as a diplomat by the then-extant Galactic Republic amidst the Galactic War. His sibling, Kindra Gann, had been afflicted from birth with a unique instance of Mizra Syndrome, but she experienced a recovery after making a journey to the Shrine of Healing situated on Voss. In exchange for the curative treatment, she elected to remain at the Shrine, dedicating herself to the service of the Voss Mystic known as Kina-Re. The Gann siblings' mother was also experiencing health issues and Devar pledged to inform Kindra if any negative events were to occur. This situation arose approximately around 3640 BBY, however, when their mother neared her final moments, Devar discovered he lacked the means to reach his sister. Leveraging diplomatic connections, he made contact with a Republic-affiliated privateer with the designation Voidhound, who happened to be present on Voss for his own purposes, and assured him recompense for relaying the message to Kindra at the Shrine.
