Early Life
- "Zenn", as he came to be known by his friends, has no knowledge of his parents, and the first memory that he remembers is being alone, on a world which seems to be desert at a very young age. He was taken in my a Merchant, and given a decent education. However, the life of a merchant was of no interest to him, for he had fire in his soul. Once he was around 18 years of age, he said farewell to the man who had so generously taken him in, and use the last of his money to buy a starship, going from system to system looking to get rich and have adventures. Sadly, he ended up on Mos Eisley, Tatooine, broken, penniless, and downtrodden.
- He did errands for a starship captain, and part-time worked for the exchange, until he betrayed them, wanting to rescue some friends that they had taken as slaves. He was so enraged when they sent people after him after performing this noble act, that in a fit of rage, he force-pushed them to the ground, discovering his Force-Sensitivity, but not having time to ponder about it. He shot two more of the exchange thugs with this EE-3, and ran.
- After several days of hiding, the Exchange seemed like they were to busy to hunt him any longer, and he ran into a wayward Sith Lord, who, upon sensing his slight touch upon the Dark Side, offered to train him in the use of the Force. Zenn, not having any recourse to continue his life, in desperation, agreed.
Training
- Zenn was trained by his new master in the use of the Dark Side, learning lightsaber combat and all of the typical things that one learns when they become Sith. After five months of intensive training, his master proclaimed him, "Occidian." This would be his Sith name.
- Zenn awoke one morning to find that his Master had left him. Vanished. Without a trace, he left, with no instructions as to how to find him, and no recourse, he waited. His Master did not return. When the young Occidian, now 22, realized his training was at an end, and not being in contact with any centralized Sith command structure, he decided to keep his Dark Side training a secret, and once again take his starship to a new world and see what opportunity can arise until he can find a new master, furthering his training.
New Beginnings
- Zenn arrived in the city of Iziz on Onderon, with nothing but his trusty EE-3, a few credits, and a will to survive. For several days he had no luck and was close to running out of money when he ran into a renowned Bounty Hunter known as Gen Morane. He offered his services as a marksman and gunslinger to him, and began his career as a Morane Hunter. Zenn quickly got his first few bounties, and earned enough money to add a Czerka S-11 disruptor, and Mandalorian Disentigrator, which he often Dual-Wielded, to his arsenal. Though he wished he could use a sword or lightsaber, as his training and expertise from young life made him a master of Form II, and he had taught himself in his private time to use a variation of Form III, both forms with elements of Juyo. He was a consummate sword master, but did not yet wish to reveal his dark-side influence.
- Zenn was called by Gen Morane to join in on a hunt and capture mission as part of an elite squad to take down the Onderonian General, Selkisto Horten. They arrived in Iziz, and after a short battle in the Cantina, Zenn shot Selkisto in the back with two stun rounds, and Gen ordered them to carry him to Korriban, where Zenn quickly found that the Sith had an academy. However, he was too cunning for such antics, and did his best not to be noticed, as he was masked. They were led by the Sith to a secluded room, and a Sith identified as Lady Chaos ((Nymph Zenith)) paid each of them several thousand credits. They left, but Zenn had gained more than anyone could know. He now knew where he could increase his power.
Becoming a Sith
- Zenn returned to Iziz with his hunters, several thousand credits richer, but with a bigger problem. He needed to figure out how he could join the Sith. A bounty had been placed on a Dark Jedi Master known as Darth Sinis. ((Tyrant Laffer))
Zenn had killed Force-Users without the use of a lightsaber before, using their arrogance against them. He ambushed Sinis in the back alleys of Iziz, firing at him with his preferred choice of dual pistols. The Dark Jedi reflected several shots directly back at Zenn, nearly killing him. By a strange twist of fate, Gen Morane showed up flanked by several hunters, whom took Zenn, their brother, to the medical bay in a hurry to have him treated.
- Little did Zenn know he would encounter the same Dark Jedi weeks later, and pledge his loyalty to him, beginning training once again in the Dark Side of the Force. Zenn knew that this was only a stepping stone, and after stagnating for some time in their order, but proving himself to many other Sith in the Empire, he was cast out of their order, but this did not bother him, for they had nothing to teach him. He was a Sith at heart.
