Although born on the Zabrak Homeworld of Iridonia, Damian was too young to remember much, if anything at all. In later years he had been told both his parents had died; his mother in labor, and his father in some sort of ‘accident’ – although his death was much more uncertain to say the least. He had been adopted by foreign parents and taken off of the planet. His early childhood was pleasant but fairly uninteresting – spending most of his time in space and traveling from planet to planet accompanied by his parental guardians. As his new adopted family began to run into financial problems they were forced to find another home for Damian - hence leaving him in the hands of a family on the planet Corellia, all of which was frighteningly unfamiliar for the young boy.
