Early Years

Tsingtao was born on the planet of Etti IV in the Corporate Sector in 4 BBY. His parents served on the Board of Directors for Cybot Galactica on Etti IV. His father served on the Direx Board of the Corporate Sector Authority. His mother was the Director of Droid Programming at Cybot Galactica. Growing up, Tsingtao spent most of his time at Cybot Galactica, learning all about protocol droids, from construction to programming. He was raised to strive for the best

At age 16, Tsingtao joined the Security Division and became Espo Officer for the CSA to the disappointment of his parents who felt he should have gone into droid programming. During a routine smuggling sting, Tsingtao happened to encounter a rogue Zabrak in a Cantina on Mall'ordian. This Zabrak was accused of shipping illegal glittersticks to factory workers. Tsingtao went to confront the smuggler only to be repelled by an unseen force. This Zabrak proceeded to fend off the Elite Espo and destroyed the Cantina to escape capture. Frustrated of being thwarted, Tsingtao ordered all ports locked down until the Zabrak was found. Tsingtao managed to track the Zabrak into a warehouse several blocks away. He alone entered the warehouse unaware of the events going on inside.

Tsingtao entered the warehouse only to find factory workers staging a rebellion to overthrow the CSA rule on the planet. Being the only Espo Officer in the building, Tsingtao was not going to leave alive. He was jumped by two men and was disarmed. The rest rushed in to beat him to an inch of his life. Tsingtao fought gallantly as best as he could. For reasons unknown, he was anticipating each blow coming his way, giving him a chance to defend himself. However the numbers were too great. From the shadows the Zabrak jumped into the fray and together they started beating back the thugs. As the ring leader starting making his escape, Tsingtao managed to will the crates from the shelves to fall on the leader of the uprising. The Zabrak introduced himself as Joseem Maruuch. From then on they formed a certain respect for one another. Tsingtao let the Zabrak go, framing the factory workers on the smuggling ring charges.

Tsingtao was promoted to Commander in the Elite Espo unit and was awarded medals of valor for disposing of the uprising as well as the smuggling ring. During the award ceremony, Tsingtao was approached by a dark figure. The dark figure mentioned of vast power and wealth. Intrigued Tsingtao sat and listened. The dark figure proceeded to explain of Tsingtao's use of the Force and his untapped potential. Tsingtao disbelieved that he was a Force user, but the dark figure explained that he has been observing Tsingtao for some time. Normally the dark figure would have destroyed the young Espo Officer, however, he believe Tsingtao to be a valuable asset to him. Tsingtao finally agreed to accompany the dark figure to see if the Force was truly in him. The dark figure was Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu.

Dark Jedi Brotherhood

Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu introduced Tsingtao to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Tsingtao started in Clan Naga Sadow in House Marka Ragnos. The training was intense and at times nearly cost Tsingtao his life. He managed to obtain the rank of Protector before he was sent away by his Master on a secret mission. The mission itself was classified among the Clan and was placed on Rogue status. Upon completion of this mission, Tsingtao returned only this time to be a member of House Ludo Kressh.

Not long after his return, Tsingtao was given a role as House Envoy. Honored by this offering, Tsingtao accepted the role of House Envoy in hopes to bring glory to the House in which he calls home. At the same time the 7th Great Jedi War occurred in which Tsingtao played a heavy role in. Through his work and dedication to Clan Naga Sadow, Tsingtao quickly rose through the ranks. At the conclusion of the Great Jedi War, Tsingtao was appointed Sith Battlelord by SBL Mononoke "Macron" Keibatsu Sadow, Krath Pontifex Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu, and Sith Warrior Ashura Isradia.
