| - Clermont Elsire Veers was born in 47 BBY. He was the younger brother of Maximilian Elsire Veers. At the age of six, Veers’ home planet was involved in a conflict between the CIS (AKA Separatists) and the Galactic Republic. Republic forces arrived just in time to halt any CIS advances into residential regions, but normal life came to a dreadful halt as the small war took place on the planet. At this time a local regional Baron, Camille Weizel (well acquainted with the middle class families), proposed that he could evacuate one of the Veers’ children to his brother’s home planet of Chandrila where the child could live a safe and rich life. The parents knew that the campaign would make life very difficult and many of the trade routes would be diverted because of the conflict. The parents reluctantly decided to send Clermont Veers, the younger of the two, with the wealthy Baron. Before Clermont left his home planet, the only explanation he received was that he was going to spend some vacation time with his “uncle”. Clermont would spend the next eleven years of his life in the care of the man he knew as his uncle. However, Baron Weizel had an ulterior motive to the adoption of a child. Even though the Baron referred to Clermont as his nephew, he raised him as his son. Weizel taught Veers aristocratic culture and educated him in the superiority of the human race. Veers grew accustomed to authority and politics as his uncle’s brother, Gerald Weizel, was a councilman of the System governorship and would become the second Imperial Governor of Chandrila under the New Order. It should be noted that Clermont went to school with Mon Mothma. She was one year older than Veers. They knew each other, but Veers was rather aloof when it came to girls. Clermont received bi-yearly visits from his brother Maximilian. Clermont began to wonder why he was evacuated with his uncle and Maximilian was able to stay with his parents. However, Clermont liked his new life and became addicted to the aristocratic environment. He became less concerned for his parents and thought that his parents abandoned him. Because of this feeling of abandonment, Clermont developed a grudge with his brother and visits from his brother became less and less frequent, until one day the visits stopped. With an issue of internal emotional depression, Veers covered it up with a stern façade. By the age of fourteen, Veers became rather introverted and a young human supremacist. Clermont developed very strict and overbearing ethics and was known to be a very uneasy person to be around. Veers learned to distrust all alien species and embraced Human High Culture as the only true culture deserving to govern the universe. Not only did Veers believe that Humans should govern and rule the non-human, he also believed the universe would be made safer without aliens and that all non-human races and species should be exterminated.
