Airion Cimber was born many years ago on Coruscant during the Clone Wars, just prior to the fall of the Old Republic. His father, Turi Cimber, was a distinguished member of the Senate and one of the few men who Chancellor Palpatine would call his close friends during the future Emperor's time in the Old Republic. A reclusive child with a tremendous temper when provoked, Airion often received poor marks in school and even poorer psychological evaluations. He despised school, he despised people, and in short, he was a sociopath. Ashamed of his son's character, Cimber's father forcibly sent him to the Academy on Coruscant in hopes of preparing his son for the changes that were soon to sweep the galaxy.
