Arak Rasennak was a Turian biotic born on the Turian homeworld of Palaven into a royal family of wealthy power brokers. Rasennak was disliked and mistrusted due to his biotic abilities, which were quite rare at his age, particularly on Palaven, but still, he pushed himself to his limits and kept himself in shape throughout his young adult life. At the age of 15 he was shunned off to the military by his father, Jorrok Rasennak, who thought some years in the military would cause him to shy away from biotic use, he was wrong.
