Kol Seraph was born on Coruscant 19 galactic standard years ago, on Day 234 of Year -7, in the district known as Sah’c Town. His father, Garran Seraph, was the manager of an interstellar shipping firm, which he and his wife, Lasha Seraph (née Evard, a commercial accountant from Bonadan, in the Corporate Sector) had co-founded a few years before Kol was born. Unfortunately, Lasha died in a tragic speeder accident when Kol was three. Grieving over his wife’s death and now bereft of her financial expertise, Garran slipped into a steadily deteriorating state of depression, worsened by an increasing dependence on stimulants to escape his problems.

Kol Seraph

Not much is certain about the precise details surrounding Koltan Seraph’s early life. What is known for sure is that he was born on Day 234, Year -7, to Garran and Lasha Seraph, Human expatriates of the Outer Rim who had made their way to the galactic capital planet of Coruscant sometime before their son was born. The Seraphs lived in a small family home in the modest, middle-class district of Sah’c Town, and owned an equally small, but for the most part prosperous, business enterprise, involved in hauling freight from Imperial Center’s orbit to the surface, and vice-versa. Their new life in the Core Worlds seemed to be a story of success, at least until the troubles that came to the galactic capital in Year -4, which saw Coruscant plagued by ever-increasing taxes, power outages, food shortages, and the subsequent periods of civil unrest that lasted for weeks on end. The situation only deteriorated further when, shortly before Kol’s third birthday, his mother fell victim to the disastrous outbreak of the virulent Grey Plague, which claimed countless thousands of lives of those not native to the spires of the city-planet.

Kol’s father Garran spent much of his family’s fortune, and sold off much of his business’ interests and his family’s home in a vain attempt to purchase vaccines and medicines with which to save the life of the mother of his child, first from the authorities, and then from less reputable sources, even moving to the infamously ramshackle tenement habs of Coruscant’s Undercity to cut his expenses. When the strong-willed Lasha Seraph finally succumbed to the ravages of the Plague, her heartbroken widower lost the will to keep the doors of his business open any longer, and had nowhere near the sum of credits with which to pay back his unscrupulous debtors. He refused to even gaze upon the face of his adolescent son, as the features of Kol’s maternal bloodline bore themselves prominently on his visage, painfully reminding Garran of the lover he had lost.
