The Human male Durrei was born in 13 BBY , during the reign of the Galactic Empire , and he grew up on the planet Elrood . When he was very young , a squad of stormtroopers tried to arrest Durrei ' s mother , who they suspected of treason against the Empire . When Durrei ' s father resisted , the soldiers opened fire , destroying all in front of them . Faced with such destruction , Durrei unleashed his latent Force ability , using the dark side to destroy the soldiers . However , despite his efforts , he was not able to save the lives of his parents . Durrei fled his home and began searching for other Force - sensitives that could teach him in any way . Driven by the death of his parents , he dedicated himself to the dark side , to avoid ever being helpless again . During this period , he acquired a red - bladed lightsaber , which he soon learned to use , and he became the lover of the Dark Jedi and Emperor ' s Hand Arden Lyn . After a number of years , at some point after the Battle of Endor of 4 ABY , Durrei was approached by the warlord Ennix Devian , who persuaded the young darksider to join him in fighting against the remnants of Empire — Durrei readily agreed . Devian had stolen Imperial technology which he planned to turn against the Empire and though Durrei later learned that Devian was the leader of the restored Empire , an Imperial splinter faction , Durrei was content to serve him so long as other Imperials were killed . Relic hunting . In 9 ABY , at the age of twenty - two , Durrei heard of a mysterious Force artifact , a relic of the ancient Kashi Mer Dynasty that had previously been possessed by his lover Arden Lyn . A prism - shaped gray rock , approximately twenty by ten centimeters , the relic reportedly conveyed on its possessor the ability to tap directly into the dark side . The relic had been stolen by Reda Jalooz , a confused student of the Force , and had surfaced in the Corva sector . Desperate for the device , Durrei convinced Devian to give him troops and former Imperial equipment to track it down . Devian had his own motivations for aiding Durrei and the warlord hoped to be able to harness the artifact ' s rumored power to cause stars to go supernova . The relic was acquired by a Gotal crime lord by the name of Mahk ' khar . Durrei arranged to trade with the Gotal for the relic on the abandoned world of Jandoon . In exchange for the relic , Durrei was to give over Meela , the kidnapped daughter of a local professor , Oron , as well as 10 , 000 credits . Traveling in a " Lambda " - class shuttle , he met Mahk ' khar in some of the abandoned ruins on the planet . However , the two were ambushed by a group of New Republic operative s , trying to claim the relic . Accompanied by only four bodyguards , Durrei fought off some of the operatives before telekinetically retrieving the relic from Mahk ' khar ' s hands and retreating with it , leaving his bodyguards to buy him time . The New Republic operatives soon after continued their pursuit of Durrei . Devian later reached the conclusion that Durrei was no longer of use to him and he betrayed Durrei and Lyn to Antinnis Tremayne , an Imperial Inquisitor and former sparring partner of Devian who was resentful of Lyn as a result of a past encounter between them . Personality and traits . Durrei ' s life was dramatically affected by the murder of his parents , leading him to dedicate himself to the dark side , to avoid ever being helpless again . It also led him to being easily convinced to join the fight against the Empire . Durrei lusted after the Kashi Mer talisman , and he was not above giving over Meela , the kidnapped daughter of a local professor , in order to get it . Durrei had dark - colored hair . Powers and abilities . At an early age , Durrei showed a latent ability with the Force , unleashing it to destroy the stormtroopers who came to arrest his mother .
