The man who would become Lord Carapace was known before as Atlos Carinhall. A commoner on the planet of Bespin, he was taken to what would become The Sith Empire at a young age by his parents, who feared that their son would destroy them if he stayed. Over the next 2 decades, he was trained to become a Sith recruiter, led to believe that he was saving them from a life of misery. During his time recruiting, he encountered and was severely injured by a Jedi Master, who severed his jaw. This led to him commissioning a replacement cybernetic jaw, only adding to his fearsome look.
Near the end of his career as a recruiter, he discovered and took Curtis Learchin by force from his adoptive family on Dathomir, leading to the destruction of The Children of Talzin. Since then, he has taken a position as an observer at the fringes of Sith space, granted the rank of Lord for his many years of service.
