Darth Volter, born Ross, was a male Human born on the the planet Thear. Volter was taken to the planet Hoth as a young child, after being kidnapped from his home. This loss to him would eventually fuel his rage as a Dark Lord and the eventual Emperor. He was made into a slave for Deathstick merchants as a cargo loader in the harsh regions of the Northern Ranges of Hoth. Years passed in the slave camp and after receiving a beating from a slaver for no reason he lashed out at him and murdered him with his own Shock Rod. This incident allowed him to free himself disguised in the dead slavers clothes he would run to a scout bike and enter a snow storm and head south, all unknown to the Deathstick merchants.
