Kir Nayrus was born on Deresnova, to a couple who were spacers. They had left him in the care of an old white foxman, Ushan'u, a Kitsune, so he'd been told. Ushan'u had identified in the lad strong Force powers. But they had to be unlocked, brought forth. The Kitsune had done what he could. For a few years, until he was about seven, Kir had learned the ways of the Force. Then in gangland turf war, Ushan'u had been killed, an innocent bystander. Kir had remebered his hands had become red, so red...and in rage, the boy of only six years, a child, still had brought an end to one of the largest gangs in the history of the planet. By himself.
