Character History

The Birth

Shaardan Lestin was born in small hospital in a cruiser making its way to Coruscant from Iridonia. The birth was only attended by Shaardan's father, mother, and 15 year old brother. They were overcome with joy at the sight of his newborn face, through all the darkness and pain of escaping Iridonia, Shaardan Lestin was born.

The Infant Years

Shaardan spent his first few years of his life without a father figure. His father, Dulak Lestin, perished in working as an engineer on the Death Star. His mother, Sheira, was overwhelmed with grief and his brother, Doma, shut himself from the world as young Shaardan grew. The boy grew secluded, as his mother and brother neglected him. Through his idling as a child, Shaardan began to develop an overactive sense of his environment and he found that he could actually manipulate very small objects to move at random times. He had discovered the Force. Throughout the next few years, his brother began to pay more attention to him and they formed an inseparable bond. Shaardan's mother, however, could not stand the boy, as he reminded her of her late husband, which brought back terrible memories.

Deterioration of the Lestin Household

Shaardan grew to be a strong-willed young man, and around seven years old, he had begun to train with a blade and blaster through the training of his older brother. His bond with Doma grew ever stronger as the training intensified. However, against the will of Sheira, Doma left the household to fight against the Empire. Shaardan watched with tears flowing, but did not wail, crying represented weakness. He trained alone, fighting everyday against children of his apartment and of the street. A few years later, the telegram was received...Doma Lestin had perished in a routine run through the Sullust system, a rogue TIE fighter had hit him from behind and caused the small X-Wing fighter to crash into a nearby asteroid. Sheira, overcome with grief at the thought that her entire family had died, had a heart attack. Shaardan was only 12 years old. He was alone.

The Rise of the Hunter

Shaardan left his house in rage and hysterics, he realized that he was alone in the world and he knew that he would die. The first night, Shaardan took refuge in a small corner of an abandon building's lobby. Through his fits and frequent starts, Shaardan had a dream which was that the only way he could cheat death is if he fought back against the world. The boy woke the next morning with a new confidence, no more tears, no more grief, he would fight.

The Turn Toward the Darkness

The teenage years had come and Shaardan was ready. He trained with an intensity that he never before experienced with Doma. The Force fueled his movements and darkness fueled his mind. During an attempt to steal a wallet from a thug, the man caught him and tried to beat him. Shaardan, being overconfident, beat the larger man easily. A crime lord named Lannik Racto saw Shaardan beat this man and offered him a job as a bounty hunter, the Zabrak accepted without question. Shaardan worked for Racto until he was 20, until a job brought him to Bespin. Shaardan sat in a cantina in Cloud City, brooding over the job and summoning his drink to his palm. He was seen doing this by Windos Bruth'Kothae and was offered a position as his apprentice. Shaardan denied, claiming that a life a servitude was for weaklings. Windos admitted that this was true and explained to Shaardan that the apprenticeship was so he could be trained to further use the Force in a more controlled manner. This peaked the young Zabrak's interest and Lestin followed Winddos to Antei, where he began his training in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

The Start of His Life

Shaardan began his training in the Dark Brotherhood, harnessing the Force and improving upon his combat skills. He was surrounded by fellow outcasts, thieves, bounty hunters, and...friends. For the first time since his brother's leaving, Shaardan was happy and content with where he was. He was home.
