Skyron is a renowned pirate, criminal and brute. He grew up on a farm on Kiffex, where his mother worked as servant in the kitchen of a Kiffu Sheyf. He never knew his father, but he suspected his mother having an affair with Sheyf's son. As it was customary, he inherited facial markings from his mother, the wide dark streak over his eyes signifying the clan Tentase. As a child, Skyron played with other kids(including legitimate kids of Sheyf's son), who often mocked and bullied him. One day, they strapped him down in the barn and made him drink some antifreeze liquid. This nearly killed him; his vocal chords had to be surgically removed due to severe irritation, rendering him virtually mute at tender age of five.
