Instead of being raised in a warm home by a loving father and mother like normal people in the galaxy he was raised in the temples interior dormitories and classrooms by frigid Jedi monks. He was also told that neither one of them had any interest in being his parent, a fact that kept him from searching for them long after he left the Jedi Order. Rumors he heard during his time at the Jedi Temple of Coruscant state that his father was Pau’an, his mother was human and that they were both political advisers to different senators on Coruscant. He knows for sure that he is half Pau’an and half human.
