Kor VanTil is a 21 year old male Arkanian from the Kuat system. He is currently serving as the the Battle Leader of the Blades of Kun. This battle team is attached to the House of Exar Kun in Clan Plagueis.
Pre-DB Life
Kor VanTil was raised on the planet of Kuat. Born to a middle class Imperial family, his father always taught him to distrust and rebel against those once called rebels: the New Republic. As Kor made his way through school, his out of mainstream views clashed with the powers that be more than once. However, there were plenty of Imperial holdovers still in high places on Kuat. Thus, Kor was spared from getting into too much trouble.
As he was attending college, Kor was faced with much confusion about his destiny. Should he inherit his father's transportation business, or go his own way in the galaxy? His escape from such confusion was a fellow classmate. He and she quickly fell in love and seemingly forgot about the galaxy around them.
Kor continued attending college and was working on a degree in metaphysics. In addition to his anti-New Republic articles, he also wrote paper after paper on the nonexistence of the Force. Believing such an idea was illogical, the young Arkanian concluded that the Force was nothing more than an illusion created by impressive magicians and used for the attaining of power.
However, he was not able to graduate due to the reasons below.
Fall to the Darkside
Here is an excerpt from Kor VanTil's dossier that details his personal fall to the darkside:
My destiny revealed itself before I could graduate. My love had been stalked home from school by one of the fanatical New Republic thugs who hated me and my influence at school. As she attempted to get into her apartment, he tried to force himself upon her...just to get to me. She fought him off, but not before receiving a beating from him in return.
When she called me, I was consumed by an anger I had never felt before. I became the stalker. I found out who the guy was and rushed to his place to find him nursing his wounds with the help of HIS girlfriend. When I confronted him on his actions, his girlfriend regurgitated a lie that he must have told her to in order to cover up the reasons for his scars.
My anger had reached its limits and I lost control. The darkness consumed me. It was then that I became a believer in the Force.
Empowered by the darkside, I quickly added to the thug's scars with a broken leg. I could easily have taken his life, but that was too easy. With the thug disabled, I proceeded to torture and then slay his girlfriend before his eyes. The tearing of flesh, the snapping of bones, the dull thud of a well placed right hand, the various cries coming from the crippled thug...this was satisfying to me. As she breathed her last, I smiled and left her lover mourning on the floor. He had paid for his sins.
Shortly after tapping into this new power, Kor was discovered by DB agents and recruited accordingly.
