Little was known about the early life of Zikta Roffol. He was taken by Jedi Master Romfe Desilot on Ratooine when he was two standard years old. He was taken to Coruscant where the young Zikta's skills were tested. The Jedi High Council found Zikta to be very promising and, because of this, he was accepted for training in the Jedi Order. He was trained under the tutelage of Desilot and proved that he was very loyal to the Galactic Republic. He was able to become skilled in lightsaber combat with Form D: Way of the Swordsman.
