Character History
Early Life
Zednich Wolfram was born on the farming planet of Taanab. Taanab is a terrestrial planet with one moon covered in large grassy fields and numerous waterways. His father got into trouble with the Hutts and accrued a large amount of gambling debt. To save his life Zed's father brokered a deal with Lago the Hutt. Zednich was given to the Hutt at the age of sixteen and groomed into being an elite prize fighter in the Hutt's pit fighting league. Zednich wasn't a true slave but he received no prize money, and if he refused to fight his father would be executed. Zed was trained by a wookie named Chuck-tuckle-lukluk. Chuck was a former pit champion himself before loosing an eye and the wear on his body became too much. The wookie trained the human to be a killer and how to survive in the pit. After winning some high profile fights Zednich earned the moniker "The Wolf." Zednich's mother still lives on a small Tannab farm raising animals. He visits his mother, but does in secret. With all his enemies in the galaxy, he does not want any one following him to her home. If any enemy were to harm Zed’s mother, they would face a wrath never before seen.
29-37 ABY
The Wolf was shipped from planet to planet in Hutt Spacee to battle in main events. His most notable wins were against a wampa and small gundark. Zed's body is covered in scars from the years of battling. The Fist Valhavoc came to one of the matches and saw The Wolf kill a vicious barabel named Teeram. The Fist was so impressed he found Zednich after the match to talk to him. During their discussion Valhavoc sensed the Force was with The Wolf and gave him the coordinates to the Shadow Academy. Zed was honored and discussed his release terms with Largo the Hutt. Zednich's father had died recently in a farming accident, so he felt his deal with the Hutt had been completed. Largo wasn't willing to let his prize fighter simply walk away though. The two agreed that if Zednich won the first ever Grand Pit Fighting Tournament he would be free from his father's arrangement. Zednich slaughtered and massacred his way through the tournament earning his freedom as champion.

To prove he was ready to become a Dark Jedi Knight The Fist sent Zed on a mission to chased down a demented Jedi Knight named Xirpoc to Ziost. Xirpoc was a corrupt Jedi selling Jedi and Republic military secrets. When the Republic was closing in on Xirpoc he orchestrated an ambush on Athiss to fake his own death. The Dark Jedi Brotherhood needed to make sure Xirpoc was silenced and would not betray them. Zed and Xirpoc had their final showdown at Ajunta Pall's Citadel. Zednich carved his way through eight platoons of Churhee's Riflemen guarding Xirpoc. He stealthily killed only the riflemen required to meet his objective. Zednich proved himself to his Master and killed Xirpoc by cutting off his head with the Jedi's own lightsaber. Zed suffered heavy internal injuries and dislocated bones from his battle.
