"He is a mere boy! You cannot allow this child into your army!" Mayr Kayzen to Ren Ion Leumas Lietsleknif was the illegitimate son of Xizzle Ion, a notorious Sith Lord. However, he was abandoned on Ryloth and grew up taking care of himself. Even then, aware of his brilliant mind, he took an interest in politics, and soon became Senator for Ryloth. It did not last, and he found himself back on Ryloth. When the Zeno Sith came to invade his homeplanet, Lietsleknif was one of the primary Generals and led his troops valiantly against the intruders. Ren Ion, who was leading the Zeno, became engaged in hand to hand combat with the young Twi'lek, who was quickly defeated. Ion offered him a position as a Commander in his army. Lietsleknif accepted, and slaughtered his Twi'lek forces.
