Early life
Lukas was born in a Mandalorian clan named Clan Sevarin, 69 years before the battle of Yavin. His father, the leader of the clan, was a named Sirul Sevarin. His Human mother died in childbirth, and his father cared little for him, favoring his elder brothers, Rufus Sevarin and Cadaver Sevarin, because their late mother was a Shistavanen. Sirul considered their blood "purer" than Lukas. Although Sirul still taught Lukas the same techniques taught to his brothers, Lukas was usually ignored. As a result, Lukas was forced to survive for himself most of the time, along with his friend Aly Fartontae, whose parents had been killed by a rival clan when he was very young. Both Lukas and Aly were considered loners by the rest of the clan.

When Lukas' cousin won money off him after gambling, Lukas killed him in a fit of rage. Sirul was forced to exile him because of this. He was soon caught up in the between the  and the Death Watch. Lukas soon found out that members of a splinter group of Death Wacth, named Skulltakers, attacked his old clan.

When Lukas's father heard of this, he was impressed by both his sons' ferocity and gave them armor, weapons and a ship: the Wolf's Howl. At the age of fourteen, Lukas left Mandalore to seek out other planets with Cadaver.

Assault on Uvena Prime
Lukas became known due to his actions in the assault on Uvena Prime that took place during the Clone Wars. The war was planned to kill the some of the Republic's best generals: Generals Skywalker, and Koon. A victory would have also resulted in control of the Shistavanen species. The planet's governor, Canis Dervish, claimed to be an ally of the Republic, but secretly worked for the Separatists. At the time, Canis was a mere puppet compared to the master of the operation, Professor Thrax Vols, Yarkora biological weapons designer. Dervish was taken to J'crakk, a Neimoidian star cruiser. When the Jedi Anakin Skywalker heard this, he and his master, Obi Wan Kenobi, went to save Dervish. However, Thrax wanted to kill the Jedi aboard the J'crakk. The Jedi, however, foiled Lukas and Thrax, Dervish, Lukas and the battle droid 00L-69, the head of security, escaped to the planet’s surface.



There, Thrax placed Bossk to lead the bombardment of the planets capital city and to destroy starfighters.

Lukas was later discovered killing Dervish at the closing stages off the battle; he tried to escape, but was captured by the Republic after one of his legs was crushed and his lightsaber lost. He escaped from his prison after Separatist forces blew it up to free some of the inmates that were locked up in there.

Era of the Galactic Empire
In his later life—19–2 BBY—Lukas heavily relied on gambling to survive. He became a legendary figure in the galactic underworld as a veteran of the Clone Wars. In 19 BBY, he said farewell to Boba Fett. On Duro, he was hired to kill Empire commander Gaius Jagafromme. Lukas killed Jagafromme, but was seen committing the murder. Lukas barely escaped with his life, but investigated and found that his rival Drexl Reznov was behind it. Furious, Lukas captured Reznov and dumped him on Hoth to freeze to death.

It was in 17 BBY that Lukas discovered that Darth Vader was in fact Anakin Skywalker, the hot-headed Jedi Lukas had met on Uvena Prime. Lukas was already on the Empire's bad side after Jagafromme, but he now knew that he had offended Vader twice. Lukas fled to the Outer Rim after seeing a 500,000 credits reward for his capture with fellow mercenary and friend Aly Fartontae.

In the Outer Rim Lukas was captured by an adult Boba Fett. He was taken to Jabba the Hutt, who put him into his employ. He was then dispatched to kill Darth Vader. Lukas, who was secretly afraid of Jabba, agreed to perform the task. However, Lukas knew he would be killed if he tried to kill Vader, or be killed by Jabba if he failed. Lukas tried to make a run for it, but was captured by agents of Black Sun.

By then, Lukas was well and truly cornered. He knew he couldn't go to Jabba, who would kill him for entertainment, while he couldn't go to the Galactic Empire, who would kill him on sight. Black Sun, still angry that Lukas had deserted them, sold Lukas to Jabba. Lukas however killed his captors and escaped on his ship.
