Jaris Kan, a Devaronian male skilled as a kallak assassin, operated during the era of the Force Wars within the Tython system. Around 25,793 BBY, Baron Garto, a crime lord from the Nine Houses that governed Shikaakwa, contracted Kan to eliminate Volnos Ryo, a Baron who was Garto's adversary. However, during this assassination attempt, Kan encountered Tasha Ryo, Volnos' Je'daii offspring, and was ultimately killed by the Twi'lek Baron.
