Tycho Isod was born thirsty for knowledge, ravenously consuming any all information he could find. When he was told by people that he was too young to know something, or that certain knowledge was too dangerous Tycho did not let his frustration halt his quest, he used to it to fuel him into finding a way around any restriction placed upon him. By the age of 16 Tycho had learnt all there was to know from the public archives, and was determined to gain unlimited access. He used his intellect and cunning to climb the ranks of local government and established himself as an advisor and confidante to local politicians, manipulating them into giving him unfettered archive access. Having learnt all he could on his homeworld Tycho left to join the dark Jedi Brotherhood and take advantage of all he could learn from them, especially at the Shadow Academy.
