After the death of his mother on Jomark due to the actions of Joruus C'baoth, Nathan was adopted into the Solo family. There, he met his future wife, Jaina Solo, and grew in his knowledge of the Force and everyday experiences. After joining the Jedi Academy at the age of eight, he was given his grandfather's holocron, which would later tell him during the Yuuzhan Vong War the mysteries of his past and of the people he was ordained to save in the Ottiumigos Centrality.
