Ju'cal Baal (formerly Ju'cal Ventris) was born on Telos in 52 BBY to a Jedi mother and a nerf herder father. His mother was in the AgriCorps of the Jedi Order, sent to help the farmers and ranchers on Telos increase production while minimizing their impact on the environment. She met, fell in love with, and eventually married a young nerf herder who saved her life from a pack of wild cannoks. Having nowhere else to go after the destruction of the Mandalorians, Ju'cal headed back to his adoptive father's homestead on Manda'yaim and hid for a few years while things settled for the Mandalorians.
