BIOGRAPHY:
Sarkesh was born on a freighter to a pirate and one of his many sex slaves who traveled the stars in a caravan during the darkness. The pirate went by the name, Mor Tarkhan and took his new son under his wing. Growing up Sarkesh was raised around the idea that he could do whatever he pleased, as long as no one could stop him from doing it. So, naturally, Sarkesh gained the attitude that he could do whatever he wanted to anybody.
This was only part of his upbringing though, his father relentlessly beat him and sold his mother off to another pirate gang which left Sarkesh no one to count on but himself. With no one to turn to, Sarkesh never truly learned to grasp his emotions and this was the beginning of his narcissistic and habits. At the age of 16 his father grew tired of his and left him for dead in the Tatooine desert. He was lucky enough to make it to Anchorhead where he quickly learned he needed to be quick and agile to survive. He made his life as a thief for the next year before meeting a smuggler who agreed to take him off-world for a fee. Of course Sarkesh had no money and instead killed the lone smuggler while the ship was zipping through hyperspace.
His next stop would be Naboo where he would use his natural charm and deception to convince the police smuggler was actually a bounty hunter who killed his father and took him for ransom. He also said the bounty hunter was stabbed in the chest during the fight and bled out during flight. The authorities believed him and were going to take him to a secure location until contact could be made with his ‘mother’, but Sarkesh escaped on the way and disappeared into the lake country.
Years would pass and Sarkesh would make a living as a bandit, robbing banks and nobles in the large cities of Naboo before disappearing into the wilderness again. Once he had grown tired of robbing the Naboo, he bought a ship and traveled back to Tatooine where he had it armed with low grade weapons. Setting out the Corellian run, he made his life as a pirate. During this time he accidentally discovered his force sensitivity after having a fit of rage over his pilot’s seat creaking. His rage over the simple matter led him to throw the chair across the room, but he never put a finger on it. He was surprised and delighted by the fact he had the force, self training himself in the very basics while he continued his pirating career.
His decision to become a Sith wasn’t a complicated one, he was in the process of robbing a merchant ship on its way to Nal Hutta when he made the choice. He had boarded the ship and was piling the crew into the back when he suddenly stopped and put his weapon away. He told the crew he wasn’t taking their shipments and that he was leaving, climbing aboard his ship with the new idea that he wanted to be a Sith. There was no real reasoning for this choice, he just decided “why not?” He left the freighter where it was and headed for Sith space, not telling the crew he had disabled the engines so they were stuck in space to starve or be collided with by another ship in hyperspace.
