Fentek was born at least a century before the Great Hyperspace War, and after his Force-sensitivity was discovered, he eventually became a Sith Lord, ruling over a number of small settlements on Korriban. However, his ascension through Sith society was hindered by his somewhat controversial theories and ideals, and as such, his overall power was relatively minor compared to many other Sith Lords. However, he became a highly feared and respected force in the area he ruled, which he governed with an iron fist.
