Asuke Takanagamo was born in Tristchana in 1,959 BBY into the Royal Warbird Family, in an outcast group. His father, Jeramiah took it on himself to teach him and his twin brother, Taigo, everything he knew about the Force, making them Jedi, but were forced to flee Tristchana as young children. While in fleeing, Asuke contracted the only known case of Picasher Stuntratta, a cold-like disease. The disease left him stunted at 1.75 meters, while his brother, Taigo grew to be over six feet tall.
