Vlad Stone was born to a poor family of farmers located on the outskirts of Dantooine in 41 ABY. His mother died within hours after his birth leaving him with his father, Abrams Stone. His father's busy hours in the fields meant that Vlad was left with his Aunt Wentar and his cousin, Kaltran. Their lives were excluded from the hustle and bustle of the Imperial Remnant until the Shrike attack in 46 ABY.
