Aeither Syntril was born in the year 4022 BBY, on the planet Alderaan. As the son of the mayor of a small, grassland village, Aeither lived happily, never exposed to any true evils.

Until the day the poachers arrived. Cruel men seeking the rare species of animals on Alderaan, they found themselves opposed by Aeither's father. Enraged, the poachers spawned a small struggle, leaving many villagers, including Aeither's mother, dead. The Jedi were eventually summoned and, once the poachers discovered it, the village was burned to the ground. In anger and desperation, the poachers slaughtered the remaining villagers with their superior weaponry. Aeither, a boy of nine, survived alone, fleeing by his father's command, hiding in the distant hills.

The next day, the Jedi arrived. Sensing the power of the Force in him, the Jedi offered shelter in the Jedi Academy. Aeither, hating the Jedi for not saving his home in time, fled the Jedi that night.

Two years passed, two years of cursing Jedi and poachers alike, and allowing his hatred to grow. Aeither eventually came by a passing band of merchants and, after much discussion, was allowed to leave with them. Aeither spent the next five years of his life performing various jobs for the traders, while planning his revenge for the vicious poachers. He remembered the Jedi's claims of his Force sensitivity, and resolved to join the sith, for in his travels he had heard rumors of the dark Naddists. As soon as he found an enclave for the Naddist cult, he began his dark training, training force and lightsaber abilities alike. For four years he trained until he deemed himself ready, ready to destroy the poachers who had ruined his life.

Returning to Alderaan, not as Aeither Syntril but as Darth Exorus, he devoted a year to discreetly destroy every single person connected to the poachers. Reveling in his hate, he returned to his training until he could find an opportunity to strike at the Jedi as well.

This opportunity arrived as Exar Kun fell from the Jedi, launching the Great Sith War. Exorus proved himself time and again in these battles until the Battle of Ossus. There he found one of the Jedi who had originally attempted to recruit him. Exorus dueled and finally killed the Jedi fiercely, and in his final hour, Exorus saw the Jedi's sorrow and remorse for Exorus, and Exorus' home. Confused, Exorus left the sith to ponder his morality. While he hated the Jedi for the destruction of his home, he also realized their sympathy for those killed under their watch. Thus he spent the rest of his life as a traveling Gray Jedi, adopting Force sensitives of various moralities as his students, until his natural death in the year 3967 BBY.
