Early Life (60 BBY-33 BBY)
"What did you do before your crimes against the Empire? I grew up."

- Grand Admiral Nebulax and Vladius Magnum

A boy named Vladius Corbett was born 60 BBY in a small home on the edge of Dreshdae, Korriban to Trois and Aymee Corbett. Life was peaceful for a while, and he could afford to play the hologame, Knights of the Old Republic, at his leisure. Then, one day, he was abducted after a swoop race by a Dark Jedi Mathematician, self-proclaimed Darth Culator, as he was force-sensitive. This part of his life was shrouded in mystery, but it is known that he developed a strong dislike of things having to do with pure numbers. He also found his way in and out the remnants of the Exchange.

Vladius developed a semi-potentium view of the Force. Skills such as Force Lightning could be used for good...or evil. However, he recognized that the Force had a light side and a dark side; it was simply a matter of how they were used. Both were fueled by emotion. The light side: charity, the dark: passion. It sounded odd, but he felt that you could have a "passion for charity". This philosiphy would be similar to that of Kyle Katarn's in the time period of the New Jedi Order.

Vladius felt bored often. It would become a standard habit of his to stowaway on cargo freighters headed to distant worlds. He ventured to planets such as Kashyyyk, where he learned Wookiee culture and customs, as well as how to understand shyriiwook. This would prove invaluable in the future.

During his travels, he started taking things along with him. He stole things from the cargo ships he stowed away on on a subsistence basis. They were not noticed; the freighter crews focused on crates and stock cargo, not open boxes or individual items. He would later trade or use these things, eventually accumulating a sizable profit of 2104 credits by 43 BBY. One time, he mistakenly boarded a Republic ship. Tensions were high at this time, as the Stark Hyperspace War was drawing near. Any ships boarding capital ships were posthumously checked for bombs. During a routine sweep, Vladius was forced to use Force Camoflage to avoid being shot. He realized that he had used the Force for his own gain, petty or not. He decided to stop hopping around the Galaxy, and to settle down somewhere. Unfortunately, one of the people he met on his travels, or "Contacts", forcibly enlisted him in the Stark Commercial Combine, a criminal orginization preparing to fight a war against the Republic. Through a series of decisive decisions and battles, Vladius became a refugee of the Second Battle of Qotile, now with an illegally modified DL-44 heavy blaster pistol at his side. He managed to get to the Republic Army, helping them pick off several enemy troops during the siege of the caves. During a lull in the fighting, Vladius learned more about the Force from the teachings of Master Qui-Gon Jinn.

Vladius departed secretly (aided by his Force camoflage) and made his way to a starport, leaving Qotile in time to see the climactic last battle.

Wookieepedia and the Clone Wars(33 BBY-19 BBY)
Long after the war and returning to his old ways, Vladius decided to go into exile on the planet Zhar. There, he met a young Jack Nebulax. The two had their differences, but became friends. They edited and used an illegal version of the Jedi Archives: Wookieepedia. This encyclopedia on The Galaxy would prove very influential later to smuggler groups, the Rebel Alliance, and the New Republic records. Stored in a holocron, users would come from all walks of life to edit it and share their stories, categorizing the Galaxy as a commoner would see it from the past, not a Jedi.

During this time, however, Nebulax left to become a Republic officer. The Clone Wars began, and the Galaxy was ablaze with battle. Vladius realized that he would have to choose a side: The Republic and the Jedi, or the New Confederacy that looked more promising as the conflict dwindled on. He searched Wookieepedia and found that the Confederacy's leader, Dooku, was a Sith Lord, a second to an even more evil master that was manipulating the Republic itself. This information was provided from Vergere, an unusual Jedi user with a Potentium view of the Force. She was no longer contactable after this edit, and Vladius feared for the safety of the government- on both sides. As the war concluded, he sought after Coruscant for answers. By the time he found out what was going on, however, he was too late.
