Griff Praji was a Human male born to the wealthy and influental House Praji of Coruscant, the capital world of the Galactic Republic, sometime before or during 60 BBY in the Great Peace of the Republic era. Griff had two younger siblings: Tannon and another brother. His mother instilled in him an appreciation for culture and the fine arts, so he studied both what the capital offered in abundance and also life outside Coruscant. Praji often participated in family vacations that traveled to such offworld places as the museums of Porus Vida and the Sharu ruins of the Rafa system.
