Born 1843 on the Moon of Dxun orbiting the planet Onderon, Tal Darasuum was the son of the last surviving fraction of the Kelborn clan to his parents knowledge. His uncle a Mandalorian tech warrior and a demolitions expert taught him minor things when he hit the age of 5 having been in 1 year of martial training from a very early age by his parents; these minor things consisted of hacking lower grade terminals and doors, and putting together knock out gas canisters which could explode on impact as the gas was made from the boiled organ tissue of a Cannok and Boma Beast. His Parents continued to train him till his 7th birthday in Mandalorian techniques specifically in brawling, vibro-knives and Stealth movement for hunting and stalking. On his seventh birthday his parents ventured out with him into the jungle in order to collect a trophy from an annual hunt but on their way there the three came upon a cave in the jungle and having thought of some trophy beast inside the cave, all they found was fields of corpses which lay before a massive stone temple. It wasn't long until the Drexl killed and ate his parents from its lair inside the archway of the temple grounds. Tal ran fast but he could not escape a winged beast that had bested two Mandalorians, luckily enough his uncle set off an accidental explosion in the nearby camp killing himself and causing a rock slide, which in turn blocked the cave entrance of the temple just as Tal had gone through. Although his life was spared from that miserable fate he wandered around for four days drinking off the blood of his mother which had poured into his water canteen; before being picked up by a group of mercenaries headed to an unknown destination. While on their ship he heard shouting and blaster fire as the ship was raided by a group of republic troopers searching for illegal Sith artifacts, but the ship never stayed up long enough as cannon fire from the planet they were orbiting hit the engine stabilizers and the ship crashed down on the planet beneath where Tal lay unconscious having survived by storing himself inside a metal freight container filled with stolen statues each bigger them himself and made out of pure Aurodium.
