Hess BelCyfer

Hess BelCyfer was Mandalore of the Mandalorians from 897 ABY to 908 ABY. During the events of the Second Sith Uprising, his life was saved by the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Keldaris, and he pledged the Mandalorians to the service of the Sith.

Early Life
Hess BelCyfer was born Korto Rek on Kiffu, and for the first seventeen years of his life he worked with his family on a farm. When he turned 18, Korto left his household and joined the trade ship Platonic Loveas a deckhand. The young Kiffar's motive for joining was his burning desire to explore space, and within a year he was considered a valued member of the crew.

Everything changed when the Platonic Love was boarded by Togorian pirates. Korto watched his friends die around him, brutally murdered by the pirates- but he was spared. The pirates recognized that he was a Kiffar, and saw that his psychometric abilities could be useful. In one moment, he went from carefree spacer to worthless slave. The pirates kept him for seven months, his only home a small corner of the ship.
