In 40 BBY Solus Ruus'kad and his twin brother Solcon where born on Mandalore. Their parents were Cad Ruus'kad, a half Mandalorian, and June Ordo-Ruus'kad. In 34 BBY while on a trip to the outer Ruus'kad villages Solus and his brother were with their parents. While in the village they were suddenly attack by what was left of the Death Watch at the time. The reason was because the Death Watch felt that clan Ruus'kad were no longer warriors and thought they were a disgrace to the Mandalorian name. The battle was long and hard but by the end only Solus and Solcon were left alive.
