Lord Hegemon Grigori Markov. Portrait painted in 1 ABY.

Joseph Skirata was born on an unknown planet nestled deep within the Outer Rim in 7 ABY. Moments after his birth, his mother, a wealthy aristocrat, died, effectively orphaning the newborn. Parentless, Joseph was adopted by his grandfather, the Lord Hegemon of the Grand Army of the State.

He recorded little of his lifetime prior to his adolescence but what information has been gleaned from his autobiography, In the Company of Shadows, indicates that his grandfather had a very limited influence on the boy. Instead, he was raised by a female Kiffar whose name he has never disclosed. She was loved and cared the child but she also understood the ways of this particular Miralukan society, so, before the boy could walk, she began to teach him, not just to fight, but to win, no matter what the cost.

When he was seven, he was taken from his caretaker and was enrolled in a rigorous educational system, as all Miraluka are. The aim of the system was to produce physically and mentally strong males to serve in the army. It encouraged conformity and the importance of the state over one's personal interest, but also generated the future elites of planet. Discipline was strict and the males were encouraged to fight amongst themselves to determine the strongest member of the group.

For five years he trained under this system, time and time proving that he was the most superior among his peers, until, in 19 ABY, he reached the age of twelve. Though normally it is considered too young for military service, because of the strong cultural emphasis on achieving superiority by any means necessary, Joseph was officially conscripted in the Grand Army of the state.

"Our bodies are prisons for our souls. Our skin and blood, the iron bars of confinement. But, fear not. All flesh decays. Death turns all to ash. And thus, death frees every soul."
―As quoted by Grand Inquisitor Silecion from the Book of Marcion

"You, the condemned. You have confessed. You admit to protecting the queen, who twists the word of our god and drowns all of us in sin. Your queen seeks immortality in life, the force of paradise. This is heresy. She leads you towards vanity, away from the voice of truth. But this is foolishness, for death... exists."
