Riko Vess

Riko Vess was a human female slicer and thief and the mother of Kay Vess. Born around 47 BBY, Vess became a famous slicer during the Clone Wars, but retired at the end of the war when she had her daughter Kay in 19 BBY. Riko raised her daughter to be a thief like her on the planet Cantonica, bringing her along on jobs that she ran for Bram Shano. After many years of crime, Riko decided it was best to distance her daughter from her world, leaving Kay at the age of 12 years old and in the care of Bram Shano. Riko and Kay did not see each other for a decade until Riko was hired by Jaylen Vrax to help Kay and her crew pull off a heist against the crime lord Sliro Barsha.
