Vidar Kressh was a descendant of Ludo Kressh. He was born several years before the Cold War as a slave to the Sith Empire, despite his heritage as a Pureblood. Given the Emperor's decree that the entire Kressh bloodline be wiped out, Vidar's name was changed at an early age to protect his true identity. At the height of the Cold War, the Empire recognized the latent Force abilities and potential in Vidar, and took him from his enslavement to Korriban for training. Upon completion, he gradually rose in the ranks of the Empire, shunning his past and taking hold of a promising future.
