History

Abandoned and Escape

Vladek was abandoned on the Xoxin plains of Eres III at birth and was picked up by a 'kind' Wookie, who took him to the nearby orphanage. At the age of 12, Vladek and several others bludgeoned the Unsuspecting Headmaster of the orphanage to death after they were punished for an act of trouble-making they did not commit.

To avoid being arrest, the group of murderers fled in the dead Headmaster's ship and flew to Telos. They were trapped, and worked in forced labour for a group of Mercenaries, until at 16, Vladek managed to escape captivity. Several years on, Vladek was taking bounties on Nar Shaddaa, not hesitating to kill if he had too. Over time, Vladek developed a talent for Bounty Hunting, so took on some larger bounties.

Insanity

As Vladek advanced in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood he frequently visited the planets, Maryx Minor, as it was the place where he had fallen. As a Protector he was reported to the police force on Maryx Minor for a violent assault on two senile old men, who had failed to give him the information he wanted. He butchered first the police force that tried to arrest him followed the old men whom he had attacked. However, after his killing spree he began to question his self-control in the use of the Force. He was driven the point of insanity, but the Dark Side got him back on his feet after a long mental struggle and he returned to Palace Orian.

Digging Roots

At 22, while hunting one such bounty, Vladek crash-landed on Maryx Minor, where he terrorised two old men about the history of the place, before finding his bounty imprisoned by a hooded man named Xenos. Xenos showed Vladek the force by using it to kill the bounty and invited him into the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Vladek arrived at Palace Orian durng the middle of the Sixth Great Jedi War, and tried as much as he could to help his Clan, he fought in two battles, one of which he was on the winning side, the other in which Clan Naga Sadow lost. He lost two fingers in his second battle, but they were later replaced with the help of the Dark Side and genetic enhancments. It was around this time that Sharmin Wheyes became his first master. Under her guidance, Vladek advanced to the rank of Guardian, but Sharmin left the Brotherhood, and she advised Vladek to become the student of Kat Pridemore, her former master. Vladek followed her master's parting advice and took Kat Pridemore as his master.

Discovery

On a sad occasion, Vladek was visiting the ruined orphanage where he grew up, and found a record of himself. It recorded him as; ‘Missing.’However, it also listed him as ‘Unstable’. The datapad with his file also provided Vladek with some additional information regarding his birth: his father had sold him to the orphanage. Upon discovery of this; Vladek swore the death of his father. He ripped the datapad from its hinges and left the orphanage. On his return to Sepros, Vladek pondered why his father had abandoned him. He considered various possibilities, but was unable to come to a conclusion of what the reason was for his abandoning. He still maintains a strong hatred of his father.
