Aves was born on the planet of Corellia, on Year -19, Day 329 to Nolween Sunfell and Mindana Pesh Sunfell. He was the first child of the family but when he was two his little sister was born, Minati Sunfell. His father was a respectable trader on Corellia and was often out on trips to deliver goods personally. Hired hand was not cheap and Nolween sometimes did not trust anyone beside himself to get certain deliveries done. This left Aves and his sister's education to his mother. Aves loved to study and also anything that had to do with flying, his mother having often to drag him out of the freighters hangar. There he befriended a Verpine tech who showed him many things about ships.
