Orem Heb was born to Paatenem Heb and Sete Penere on Deylerax in 67 BBY. He was found by Jedi Master Isoproppo, a Cerean, to be Force-sensitive, and was thus sent to the Jedi Temple. There, he learned the basic Jedi skills of Force manipulation and lightsaber handling. He was noted for his skill with the lightsaber, and even as a young Jedi was seen learning additional styles, beyond the skill level of his comrades. At the age of thirteen, Isoproppo took him in as his Padawan. The two went through a myriad of diverse missions, including resolving a near-war on Onderon, and also destroying notable assassin droid factories.
