Rowan was born on Corellia. Growing up his father would teach him how to shoot cans with a blaster out on their farm. Even within the Corellian navy he would continue to grow knowledge with blasters and the basic use of a few, mainly the DL-44. He would learn to pilot starships during his service. Once his term was up he would take his earnings and invest in a ship of his own, a YT-2400 named Serenity. He would keep his blaster for protection but feeling a little too off balance for his taste he would invest in a second. Finally he would honor his father's will and inherit Sogan's trench coat and wide brimmed hat, both made out Bantha leather with a mark three armorweave underlay.
