About 26 years ago, Nero Darkpulse was a young, sick, and dying child. He was born with a rare disease of which the likes of Dathomire had never seen in a thousand years. He was stuck in bed most of the day, all day, everyday. It was torture. He could do absolutely nothing but lay in bed and think about how fun true living must be like. This made his parents pitty him. They took him to multiple doctors accross the planet, and even other planets nearby. No one knew what was wrong. No one had a cure. Several doctors recommended "pulling the plug", but Nero's parents didn't want that.
