| - Despite his Kiffar roots, Redoryk has spent most of his life on Dathomir The first memories he can recall include a certain old man who lead him through a dense forest, telling him to hurry up. He adressed the three year old as Redoryk Eamon of clan Ralgadorr; apart from that particular piece of information, the Kiffar knew nothing else of himself and his origin. After a three hour walk through the thicket, they began to emerge towards a clearing; the man beckoned the boy to follow him, but Redoryk refused. In front of his very eyes, his chaperon fell though into a ground trap, a wooden stake ramming through his chest, killing him instantly. In the next few instants, the trap was surronded by masked riders mounted on the fowlest beasts imaginable; they did not seem too upset with the death of the old man, but showed interest in the boy instead. A figure with a crested helmet, riding the largest of all beasts, scooped Redoryk off the floor and positioned it infront of herself, then rode onwards, over the plains towards the mountains, to a place called Ashen Valley. There he spent the next eleven years as a slave to the Ashen Valley clan that was lead by Clan Mother Trysta, the very same person who brought him to the clan. Being a man among Dathomiri women was not easy; males were considered nothing more than physical workers and beasts, much like the rancors the Witches rode. At the age of fourteen, when Redoryk considered himself old enough to be able to survive in the wilderness of Dathomir on his own, he managed to escape his enslavement and strode towards dense woodlands to hide. Trysta organized a pursuit right after she noticed her gem was missing; in a rampant chase through the forest, Redoryk leapt over a wide chasm in a desperate attempt to save himself. The lenght of the jump implied aid of the Force, as a surge of andrenaline and subsequent fear triggered Redoryk's dormant sensitivity. Somewhat awed, the Witches backed off for the time being, but Trysta swore she would catch him some day. In the years to come, the Kiffar became a wanted prey. Virtually impossible to catch, he managed to remain hidden for a decade, becoming a versatile hunter and ranger. Many women of the Ashen Valley clan craved him as a mate, even more so as he was one of few runaway slaves who were never caught. Enjoying his freedom, he roamed the wilderness of Dathomir until he encountered a peculiar teenage girl in the marshlands south of Ashen Valley. She did not show any interest in pursuing him; instead, the girl collected seashells. Redoryk's innate curiosity propelled him to meet her, later finding out it was Neela, Trysta's oldest daughter. Later on, their random encounters turned into a delicate friendship built on fragile trust. Despite their age difference, Neela slowly began to develop feelings for the Kiffar. However, the long haired man remained reserved and distant, knowing the girl would grow up to be just like her mother, replacing her as Clan Mother of Ashen Valley Clan. When Trysta's rangers found out with whom Neela spent time in the forest, the Clan Mother organized another pursuit, determined to catch the boy who had by now grown into a man. With seventeen finest warriors, she rode out into the woods and in two weeks time, she brought Redoryk back to Ashen Valley, tired from running and tied up like a wild beast Neela used the time her mother took to congregate with other of the clan's leaders to decide the fate of the Kiffar and released him out of his shackles and mounted him on her own rancor, directing the beast towards a remote Republic outpost in the polar regions. Apparently, the only true way into freedom was off the planet...
