Kendoh Voss, who was infamously known by the monikers "Scourge of Serenno" and "Thief of Tandhor-Six," was a human female hailing from the world of Serenno. Driven by the ambition to recover her family's diminished wealth, Voss embarked on a life of crime, leading the Kendoh Gang, a band of mercenaries that included the Clawdite shapeshifter named Remex Io and the Aqualish known as Wooro.
During the war that raged between the First Order and the Resistance, Voss crossed paths with Finn, an operative of the Resistance, with the intention of claiming the bounty that the First Order had placed on his head. The gang tracked Finn to the moon of Avedot, where they nearly succeeded in capturing him. However, their target managed to escape with the assistance of fellow Resistance member Poe Dameron.
Following their unsuccessful attempt, Voss and her crew stole the blade belonging to the ancient Sith artifact called the Sword of Khashyun. After obtaining the blade, they were subsequently contracted to steal the hilt of the same weapon from the collector Dok-Ondar, who resided in Black Spire Outpost located on the planet Batuu. However, unbeknownst to Voss, Dok-Ondar was the very same contact who had hired her, as he was aware that she possessed the blade of the sword. As Voss and her crew carried out their heist, the 709th Legion of the First Order intervened, resulting in a skirmish within Dok-Ondar's antiquities store. Voss managed to escape both the First Order and Dok-Ondar, believing that she had successfully stolen the hilt, only to discover that the collector had deceived her and had taken the blade for himself. As the First Order attempted to pursue them, Voss and her crew managed to escape Batuu with their lives and the credits that Dok-Ondar had provided as compensation.
Originally from Serenno, Kendoh Voss belonged to a family that had suffered a loss of their wealth. Motivated by the desire to restore her family's former status, she turned to a life of crime, engaging in activities such as mercenary work, thievery, and bounty hunting. She became the leader of a well-known group of criminals known as the Kendoh Gang, which included the Clawdite shapeshifter Remex Io, the Aqualish Wooro, and the Utai warrior Basso Mak. Throughout her career, she gained notoriety for her actions, earning the nicknames "Scourge of Serenno" and "Thief of Tandhor-Six." It was rumored that she masterminded and executed a heist at a Bothan museum, but she later claimed that the true perpetrator was never officially identified.
In the year 34 ABY, during the war between the First Order and the Resistance, Voss and her gang made a stop at the Wayward Comet refueling station. While inside a cantina, Io noticed the Resistance operative Finn, who Voss knew had a significant bounty placed on him by the First Order. Io contacted Voss, instructing him to follow Finn back to his ship and attach a tracker to it. Voss then contacted a lieutenant of the First Order, expressing her intention to claim the bounty on Finn's head. After consulting with General Hux, who was pressured into pursuing the sighting by Supreme Leader Kylo Ren, the lieutenant received orders to authorize an initial payment for the bounty and inform Voss of the consequences should they fail.
Voss followed Finn to the moon of Avedot, where he and Poe Dameron were attempting to recover confiscated weapons from the abandoned New Republic impound Base 354-23X. Mak landed the crew's starship in the mountains of the moon, avoiding detection, and Voss, along with Io and Wooro, headed towards the base. Wooro killed the Resistance operative Tonkins, whom Io impersonated in order to get closer to Finn. When Io prematurely revealed himself, shooting down another Resistance member, Voss stepped in to assist him, taking down a third operative with a throwing knife. Finn managed to escape, regrouping with Dameron, but the crew had successfully blocked their only exit, trapping the Resistance operatives.
From outside the door, Voss called out to Finn, threatening to bring him in dead if he refused to surrender. Wooro used a laser to cut through the door, and he and Voss entered the room while Io guarded the exit. Voss and Wooro failed to notice Dameron and his astromech droid BB-8 hiding in the room, and Finn managed to escape through a vent, running into Io. Voss went to investigate the disturbance and found Io fighting with Finn. When Wooro went to shoot Finn, Voss warned the Aqualish to stun him rather than kill him. Wooro missed, stunning Io instead, and Voss reprimanded him for allowing Finn to escape. Mak, who was waiting in the crew's starship, was tricked into investigating lights on the far side of the outpost by Dameron, despite Voss ordering him to keep watch over the Resistance ship. While Dameron loaded the weapons aboard their ship, Finn incapacitated Wooro with a harpoon gun.
Voss approached Dameron, intending to hand the Resistance pilot over to the First Order and collect the bounties on both him and Finn. However, BB-8 bumped a crate of thermal detonators, causing one to roll towards Voss. Voss dived aside to avoid the explosion, giving Dameron the opportunity to escape in his ship. Upon learning that the explosion had triggered the remaining cache of weapons, Voss contacted the rest of her crew, ordering them to evacuate from the base. She reprimanded Mak for leaving his post, but the Utai was killed when Finn crashed an impounded airspeeder into the Kendoh Gang's ship. Finn and Dameron managed to escape the moon, leaving the bounty hunters and the wreckage of their ship behind. Voss remained unfazed, however, as Mak's death left the rest of the crew with enough rations to survive long enough to repair their ship. Due to their failure, Voss and her gang became wary of crossing paths with the First Order again.
Following the botched job on the moon of Avedot, Voss decided to proceed with the plan she had intended to carry out before taking on the bounty on Finn—acquiring the blade of the Sword of Khashyun, an ancient Sith artifact. Voss located a merchant who possessed the blade and stole it for herself. She was later hired by an anonymous contact to steal the hilt of the sword, which was in the possession of the Ithorian collector Dok-Ondar, who resided in Black Spire Outpost on Batuu. Voss hoped that the job would provide her with enough credits to return to her homeworld and restore her family's status. Unbeknownst to Voss, the contact who hired her was Dok-Ondar himself, who had heard that she possessed the blade and wanted to acquire both halves of the artifact before Voss could sell it.
On Batuu, Voss met with Wooro and Io while the First Order's 709th Legion patrolled Black Spire Outpost. The crew visited Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities to have an audience with the collector, where Voss requested a purchase that Dok-Ondar refused. While the collector was distracted, Io planted a cam droid. The crew were thrown out of the store, but Voss was satisfied, as Dok-Ondar had fallen for their bait.
Inside their starship, Voss and her crew watched footage from the cam droid of Dok-Ondar speaking with a sergeant of the Red Fury. The sergeant was forced to leave when Wooro created a distraction by causing a disturbance in the outpost's marketplace. The crew watched as Dok-Ondar, paranoid that the First Order would discover the Sith artifact, checked on it and planned to move it to a safer location. Voss recognized the artifact as their target, planning to steal it before Dok-Ondar could hide it elsewhere.
Voss and her crew met in Oga's Cantina, where Io arrived late, having had run-ins with both First Order stormtroopers and Dok-Ondar's enforcer Varg. While Io, who was actually being impersonated by Varg, seemed discouraged about their success in the heist, Voss continued with her plan, meeting with a supposed fortune-teller. Voss, however, saw through the fortune-teller's act, aware that she was a front to screen potential customers for Ohnaka Transport Solutions, ran by the pirate Hondo Ohnaka. Voss spoke with Ohnaka, claiming she needed him to transport the Sword of Khashyun through the First Order blockade, citing his renown as a pirate. She was unaware that Ohnaka was working for Dok-Ondar, who was listening in on their conversation. Voss was forced to wait as Ohnaka recounted one of his adventures before she was asked what she was transporting. Voss told him, and seeing Ohnaka's reaction, she questioned where he knew of the sword, to which Ohnaka replied that he had heard of the sword from a mission undertaken by Chelli Lona Aphra.
Ohnaka returned to Dok-Ondar, informing him of Voss's plot, but she and her crew were watching them through a cam droid. As Voss had hoped, Dok-Ondar insisted on moving the artifact into a safe location, and she left to prepare the heist. She and Wooro entered the collector's store, having disabled the security droid outside. When Voss confronted Dok-Ondar, however, the collector revealed that the droid she had destroyed was not his primary security droid, sending the IG-series assassin droid BK-86 forward. As BK-86 approached Voss, "Io" contacted her on an emergency channel, informing her that First Order stormtroopers were gathered outside the antiquities store.
The stormtroopers entered the store, and their sergeant confronted Voss, who disregarded his threats. Dok-Ondar warned Voss not to antagonize the sergeant, who ordered one of his troopers to strike Wooro with a baton. Voss rushed to protect her accomplice, and the sergeant once again threatened her. When Voss continued to ignore the intimidation, the sergeant struck her across the face with his blaster. Dok-Ondar warned Voss not to make any moves, and the sergeant questioned her on why her crew was on Batuu.
Voss, recalling overhearing Dok-Ondar's tales about the artifacts in his store, decided to improvise a new plan. She grabbed the box containing the hilt and ran, using a kyber statue that the collector had taken from Jedha to deflect the troopers' blaster bolts. She threw the hilt to Wooro, who made an escape, using the box to knock several stormtroopers aside. Cornered by the troopers, Voss used a lightsaber to break open the tank containing Dok-Ondar's baby sarlacc, which proceeded to attack the stormtroopers.
As the stormtroopers attempted to fend off the sarlacc, Voss escaped from the antiquities store, and the sergeant attempted to give chase, but Voss evaded his pursuit, losing him in the streets of Batuu. However, upon returning to her ship, Voss discovered Io, who revealed that Varg had been impersonating him and had stolen the blade of the sword. Through a hologram projected from a floating droid, Dok-Ondar spoke to Voss, revealing that he had been the crew's anonymous benefactor in order to retrieve the other half of the sword. Inside the box that had supposedly contained the hilt, Voss found a number of credits, while Dok-Ondar informed her that he had revealed her ship's location to the First Order. With no choice but to accept their losses and leave with what they had, Voss and her crew escaped in their ship, leaving Batuu behind.
As the leader of a mercenary crew, Kendoh Voss made every effort to maintain the reputation of both herself and her crew. She demonstrated loyalty to her crew members, rushing to defend them when they faced threats. However, when one member of her crew, Basso Mak, was killed for disobeying her orders, Voss remained unfazed, focusing instead on the survival of the remaining crew members.
The pirate Hondo Ohnaka described Voss as notorious, a description she was both aware of and comfortable with. Her primary motivation for engaging in criminal activities was to restore her family's wealth on Serenno, and she desired to achieve her goal and return to a life free from danger. While Voss had no qualms about accepting the First Order's bounty on a member of the Resistance, prioritizing financial gain over conscience, she was also unafraid to challenge the First Order. Voss preferred to capture her targets alive to collect the full bounty but was also satisfied with the potential reward for delivering Finn to the First Order dead.
Voss was confident in her plan to steal the hilt of the Sword of Khashyun, expressing no doubt about its success. During the heist, she showed impatience with lateness and a desire not to waste time. While hunting Finn on the moon of Avedot, Voss disapproved of Remex Io revealing his disguise to make a witty remark, preferring that he had remained disguised for a more effective attack. When her heist plan on Batuu went awry due to the First Order's interference, Voss remained confident, dismissing the threats of the 709th Legion's stormtrooper sergeant. The false fortune-teller working for Hondo Ohnaka described Voss as having a somewhat annoying personality but also possessing restraint. She was a Serennian female with blonde hair, light skin, and green eyes.
Kendoh Voss was renowned as a skilled criminal, capable of devising intricate heist plans and adapting them when faced with challenges. She displayed quickness and agility, managing to dodge a thermal detonator on the moon of Avedot and the blaster bolts fired by the stormtroopers of the 709th Legion on Batuu. Despite her abilities, Voss recognized her limitations in fighting the stormtroopers alone, creating a distraction to facilitate her escape. Voss was proficient in using a throwing knife, employing one on the moon of Avedot to eliminate a Resistance operative who was attempting to protect Finn.
Voss carried a NN-14 blaster pistol, although she rarely used it. On the moon of Avedot, Voss carried several blasters; like a DH-17; as well as a knife. She and her crew operated from a starship, which they utilized during their hunt for Finn on the moon of Avedot and while executing the heist in Black Spire Outpost. Voss briefly wielded the lightsaber that formerly belonged to Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi, but admitted that she would have been unable to fight with it, instead using it to release Dok-Ondar's sarlacc as a diversion.
Kendoh Voss made her first appearance in Galaxy's Edge 1, a comic written by Ethan Sacks, illustrated by Will Sliney, and published on April 24, 2019. While her full name was not explicitly stated, it was written in Aurebesh on a wanted poster visible in the background of one of the comic's panels.
