Durrei was a Human male native of Elrood and a Force-sensitive. His family was killed by stormtroopers when he was very young, and it was during their executions that Durrei first used his latent Force abilities, using the dark side to kill the Imperials. Following his parents' murders, Durrei committed himself to the dark side of the Force, and joined a splinter faction of the Empire in their fight against the Imperials. Durrei eventually discovered clues about a rare Force artifact called the Kashi Mer talisman, and used his new contacts to pursue the relic.
