The Trandoshan commonly known as Xrosh was born into a relatively standard middle class family on Trandosha, the middle of three male hatchlings that would be born to his parents. Like many of his relatively violent, war like brethren, Xrosh, upon reaching maturity, would be swept into a life of intrigue. Bloody clan wars, animal hunting, and the various rural activities so common to the harsh climates of Trandosha would all become second nature to him. He never learned anything else during these early years of his life, sticking to a simple, rural life far from the main settlements on Trandosha. Immediately signaled out as having above average intelligence, Xrosh was known to think outside the box, often coming up with improvised tools and various schemes to make his daily routine easier.
