Krant Altair is the only survivor of the Altair family. Since the day he was orphaned, age six, he has traveled the world of Korriban. He had to learn the ways of survival on the street and sadly at the young age of eight, was forced to kill. But, unlike others, the blood of others filled the whole in his heart that once was his family. He killed many, becoming a self proclaimed master in his art of assassination, untill one day his hatred for all others was not powerful enough to defeat his foe. The man beat the child, leaving him on the brink of death. Then he delivered the final blow, He cut Krant's tongue out, leaving him forever silent. That same day, as Krant lay on the street wish for help or swift death, a man in dark robes approached the boy and offered him a home. This home is the Dark Brotherhood. Krant did not learn why the man saved him until he was sixteen, he was very powerful in the force. From then till the day of graduation, his mind had two thoughts; one, thanking this man, known as Nihilus, and two, vowing to kill all that have ever wronged him.
