Early Life (10 BBY to 15 BBY)
Growing up on Thyferra
As night rolls from dusk to dawn, the Sun of Thyferra shines brightly upon Zul Zorrander This is his story, his life. Zul is a tall well built man who grew up as an outcast not by choice or because his family was with out status and note. Just the opposite. his parents were very Infamous. His mother is a revolutionary and his father, deemed a traitor and terrorist.
His father was executed for crimes against Thyferra. His mother exlied to lands forbidden. Growing up as a young child on Thyferra was demanding and not easy. As like most families of note are. Since his was not, he was constanly picked on as a child because he didnt have any status. This made him bitter. Zul had eventually come a custom to life in the wilderness. He was but 10 years old when his Mother was exiled. Enforcement agents came for Zul after his mother was taken. As a clever young lad, Zul was able to scurry off into the tightest of places as to avoid capture. He lived on the streets for some time until he found a mentor of sorts. Someone who saw his potential. Old man Yaz, a junker as he was known. Never begged for anything always made his way. He was fond of saying "One mans trash is anothers treasure my boy. You would do well to learn that."
It was then Zul would learn a great deal. Yaz, as it turns out had an impressive life. He was the son of a foreign dignitary turned one his self. Bit of a loyalist. Had it all until his untimely meeting witht he Trade Federation. Now, lost in his ways. still knowledgable though. He brought Zul to his humble home in the Rural land. It was filled with trinkets and the such found from his "treasure hunts". Zul studied with Yaz for some time until he felt he could learn no more. He had just built up the courage to tell old man Yaz that he was leaving when he found him on the floor half dying. Age and bad health had caught up to Yaz. He passed not long after. Zul was nearly 18 years old then.
Zul values his knowledge. For him knowledge is power, power is used to reshape worlds. Thyferra taught him a harsh lesson. Notibility and Nobility are two very different things. He had to live his life as an outcast. Eventually moving into the more rural lands. Zul can come off as a very serious person but one has to break through the outer shell that he has built over time. When he was old enough to to leave the planet he did so with out regret.

Young Adult (20 BBY - 25 BBY)
Two years on board a light freighter will change your life. Zul was 20 now. Still scrawny but muscular in a wirey sense.
