Born Scott Southam on Coruscant, he was the only known member of the Southam Family and - by a travelling jedi- was brought in front of the Jedi Council at eight months old. The Masters were very surprised as his presence was stronger than anything that they had felt of a being ever before. Realising his potential, they trained him as soon as he became five. After days of training, he had learned what some much older apprentices had yet not learnt. There was much discussion about what to do with him, knowing that in the hands of the sith, he could be devastating. The masters decided to leave it be until they felt he could be dangerous.
