Biography[]

"When I was an infant, my clan was forced to surrender me to a criminal. I became his slave, but he was a surprisingly kind master. He was killed when I was still quite young during an attack by Weequay raiders."

―Asajj Ventress^[6]

A Siniteen^[4] pirate,^[7] Hal'Sted was given the child Asajj Ventress when her mother had been forced to give her up in order to protect the Nightsister clan of Dathomir.
