Life On Coruscant
Mehrunes Dagon was born on Coruscant in the year 11 ABY. His birth name was Nicolas Rodriguez, and he was the son of rich merchants, Michael and Josephine Rodriguez, on Coruscant.
Coruscant, the place where Mehrunes was born and raised His life was very good as a child, but at around the age of six his parents divorced, and after much debate and court trials, they split the family fortune, both staying equally wealthy. After his parents split, Nicolas spent much time traveling from house to house, as he was constantly being handed off from one parent to another. But, during the whole ordeal one thing remained a set in stone reliability for the boy, and that was his grandparents. Living very close to his mother, Nicolas spent much time with them, as they were always kind and supportive.
Nicolas went to school against his parents wishes, for it was not fit for a child of high class to go to school with the middle class, but Nicolas always wanted to fit in and be normal like any other child. He spent the first five years of schooling in a public system, that his noble parents despised. But he eventually began to rebel and his parents saw fit to put him into a private school, where he would spend four years, eventually graduating and moving on to a public high school.
Nicolas studied Computer Science in his high school years, specializing in designing Holocene pages. The young noble was often quite absorbed in his studies, and as a result he had few friends. He preferred to be alone usually, working with the computer systems and holo gaming systems he enjoyed so much.
But all this changed at the age of 16 when the Vong attacked his home world, eventually taking Coruscant over. Both of Nicolas parents were killed during the invasion, but by sheer luck, or perhaps the intervention of the force, he survived. He fled Coruscant as a refugee, traveling with others of his kind, trying to find a place in the galaxy, all the while building up a hatred for the Vong.
Refugee
It was during this period of time that Nicolas stumbled on the Jusadih system. By this time Nicolas was 17 and he knew what he wanted to do, he wanted revenge, he wanted to make the Vong pay for what they had done, to his family, and to his home world. So Nicolas enlisted in the Jusadih military, where he hoped he could take a stand, and fight for his deceased family.

During his time in the military Nicolas advanced very quickly, and this did not go unrecognized by his superiors, after about half of a year he was transferred to special forces. Nicolas displayed an excellent array of skills in the special forces division of the Jusadih military, and soon got the attention of a Dark Jedi by the name of Kal Vorrac. Kal saw the force potential in the young soldier, and after doing some background research he quickly realized what hate Nicolas must be harboring, after his family being murdered and his home world captured.
Kal made a swift move and took Nicolas to the Shadow Academy, where Nicolas would train and take on the new persona of the Sith Mehrunes Dagon.
After graduating from the Shadow Academy, Mehrunes was 18 years of age and was sent to House Exar Kun of Clan Plagueis, where he would continue his training as a Dark Jedi, while being closely advised by Vorrac.
The Brotherhood
Mehrunes was transferred to house Exar Kun after passing the test of lore, and was soon given his first promotion, to a novice, after talking to the Consul of Clan Plagueis, Braecen Kaeth, about being put in a leadership position. Soon after that Mehrunes took his order into consideration. When first joining the brotherhood, he had been quite rushed, and quickly decided on becoming a sith, but after thinking for a time, he realized the importance of Knowledge over plain power, and consulted the Headmaster to have his order changed to that of the Krath, and his favorite color changed to purple.
- "'Now... a position I can offer you. And I would like you to consider... is Apprentice. No, not a demotion. But to serve as my pupil in a Master-Apprentice relationship. The choice is yours.'"
- ―Braecen Kaeth to Mehrunes Dagon
Not long after his promotion to Novice, Mehrunes was contacted by none other than Braecen Kaeth, who offered him a position as his Apprentice. Mehrunes quickly accepted Braecen's proposal
and his training began immediately, under Braecens careful guidance Mehrunes was soon promoted to Acolyte.
