BIOGRAPHY:
Verim Lahn was born to Xomel Lahn, an Epicanthix businessman, and his Zeltron wife. As one might guess the marriage was really a marriage of convenience for the woman. Verim's mother used her pheromones to seduce Xomel and escape her life as a slave. About three years into their marriage Verim was born.
Verim was his mother's pride and joy. His father always seemed to look down on him as he was not like the other Epicanthix children. Sure he didn't look any different, but he acted different. As a child Verim would often be accused of committing crime or something that his father would not like; even if Verim didn't do what he was accused of Xomel would beat him. Verim always felt betrayed by his father, but the disappointment eventually turned into hatred.
By the time Verim was fifteen he hated his father more than anyone else could possibly imagine. One day Verim heard his mother choke and stop breathing. He ran to her and saw that she was dead. The young half-breed turned to see his father, eyes like flames glaring at his wife's fallen corpse. Verim jumped at his father, unknowingly tapping into his latent Force abilities, and choked the older man to death as he landed feet first on the man's neck.
Verim felt his father's life fade. He had avenged his mother and himself. The young man looked around him he needed to get rid of his dead parents. He had a funeral for the both of them, claiming that they had been killed by an unseen assassin. As Verim was now the sole heir to his father's business Verim took over. Verim eventually gave a friend direct control over the business, leaving himself only about twenty percent of the profits. Verim left home and began traveling the galaxy.
