Robert Legend was born in a upper class Imperial home on Ziost during his parents 'Zalo (human) and Mary Legend (Echani)' service in the Imperial Army. His hair was as black as space, and his eyes were a light green that complimented his pale skin. When he was of age his parents enrolled Robert into the Sith Academy as it was mandatory of all force sensitives to enlist. Being the patriots they were, his parents saw this as a great honor and weren't the slightest bit hesitant sending the boy off. Early on in his training he showed great promise in the art of saber combat, his peers often becoming enraged as it seemed the young Sith could see his opponents incoming attacks before they happened, perhaps a trait he gained from his Echani mother.
