"Honor is for the living. Dead is dead"

- Darth Bane

Life Before Joining the Sith
Darth Bane was born Dessel on the outer rim world Apatros. His mother died in childbirth and his father, Hurst, resented him for it. Hurst hated his son so much he called him the "Bane of his existence" when he was drunk. Another habit for Hurst's drunken rages would be to beat his Dessel, sometimes within an inch of his life. When Dessel was eighteen father supposedly died from a heart attack from a combination of high alcohol levels and the strain of beating his son. It wouldn't be until many years later that Dessel, now called Bane realized he had subconsciously used the force to kill his father. Five years pass before Dessel wins an incredibly lucky card game, and subsequently get's in a fight and kills an angered Republic ensign. Fearing arrest and possibly execution Dessel joins the sith army.
