Biography
Approximately two years before the start of the Cold War, Darth Maglus visited the planet Myrkyr in hopes of finding an apprentice among its many force-sensitives. His most interesting find was Minto, a 195-year old Myrkyrer. Minto was an aspiring politician, his young age meant he had more than enough time both to orchestrate and execute political maneuvers, as well as to learn the mysteries of the Dark Side of the Force. His high level of Force-sensitivity attracted Malgus almost immediately, though he declines Maglus's offer of apprenticeship. Ordered no do do anything that would spark war between the Sith Empire and the newly-discovered Myrkyr, in hopes that the wild Force-sensitivity of the planet could be used in favor of the Empire. Minto politely declined the offer, and continued to orchestrate his way to the top of the political dogpile. Eventually, he accepted the Republic's offer for Myrkyr to join it, however, he refused to become a Jedi, instead becoming Senator. He did accept informal Jedi training, however.

Career
Two years after Myrkyr joined the Republic, Coruscant was sacked. Minto was in the Senate building at the time, and was assaulted by the very man who offered to become his master four years earlier: Darth Malgus. Malgus choked Minto almost to death, before Minto used the Force to summon his small defense pistol. Malgus was injured, however, he quickly brought his lightsaber up and disarmed Minto. Minto used his relatively untrained Force abilities in an attempt to escape, however, Malgus swiped at his legs, cutting them off at the knees. Republic troops and Jedi arrived in the nick of time to prevent Minto from being impaled, and Malgus Force-leapt out of the window onto the pavement below. Refusing to be fit with cybernetics, Minto accepted prosthesis only for aesthetic purposes, instead electing to use a repulsorlift chair to get around. He purchased a new pistol, very small, and his it within the armrest of his chair. He also purchased a deflector shield generator and a ysalamiri from his homeworld for defense against attacks from both weapons and the Force, as ysalamiri negate the Force. He named his ysalamir Tempo, for his incessant harmonious noises. Minto also advanced his training in the Force, and eventually used his telekinetic abilities to maneuver his chair, shunning the repulsorlifts except to suspend it against gravity. He also learned limited telekinetic combat to defend himself, and hired a Noghri bodyguard named Telthemph.
