Resen Viper was born on Arda-2, one year before the Battle of Yavin. Born in that period of time with the Rebellion just starting to oppose to the Empire, Resen grew up in a revolutionary environment since the Arda system was tight to the Alliance to Restore the Republic. His father was assassinated when he failed to re-pay a loan he had taken from criminal elements. Then Resen got to the Stormblessed before being selected as an apprentice to Velok of the Sith'ari Centrality's Dark Council.
