V'alkyor'thormitth'lazar was born on the planet Csilla in the Unknown Regions. He was born and raised as a part of the Mitth family, one of the Nine Ruling Families of the Chiss Ascendancy. However his side of the family were classified as a Ranking Distant family, far from the true powerful heads of the Mitth. Nevertheless, V'alkyor'thormitth'lazar was bred to become an aristocra for his respective family. Throughout his childhood and into his early teens, V'alkyor'thormitth'lazar was schooled in various intellectual subjects and practices, yet he never was able to find interest in them. Instead, he would often daydream about life outside of Csilla, outside of the Unknown Regions. He would fantasize about wild space battles, about scoundrels going from planet to planet in search of glory, and most of all, he would fantasize about making a name for himself as a legendary figure in the galaxy that seemed so far away. This all came to a head in his adolescence, when Mitth'raw'nuruodo, a Chiss naval officer belonging to the Kivu family, returned to the Ascendancy with reports on what was known at that time as the Galactic Republic. The stories told by Mitth'raw'nuruodo further fueled V'alkyor'thormitth'lazar's wanderlust, thus he decided to turn his back on the Ascendancy in search of a greater purpose for himself. He snuck aboard one of the Chiss's patrol ships as a stowaway and eventually was able to find passage off the Unknown Regions. He then proceeded to jump from one spaceport to another in search of this "Coruscant" Mitth'raw'nuruodo had described in his stories. However he would soon run out of resources to fuel his travels, he was never able to reach Coruscant; instead he had to settle for a planet called Nar Shaddaa. Life in Nar Shaddaa was not easy, V'alkyor'thormitth'lazar had to claw and grind for even the most basic things he would have gotten easy back in his homeworld, however his determination never faded, he had taken his first steps into a larger world. As the years went by, V'alkyor'thormitth'lazar, now known simply as "V", found an affinity for dangerous jobs, specifically work that required hired guns. He lived out his fantasy of being a famous scoundrel on the run with deep and heavy pockets, except without the fame and the deep and heavy pockets. It was during this time where V encountered Droz T'ruw, a Devaronian gunslinger with a high ranking status in the world of hired guns. The 2 partnered up on a simple easy job, yet Droz recognized the Chiss' potential and decided to take him under his wing as a way to secure his own legacy. This proved to be the breakthrough V was looking for, as with Droz came larger, more high profile gigs. The 2 formed a solid duo, with V providing raw talent, and Droz polishing the young gunslinger's skills. They tackled high profile job after high profile job, and made a solid name for themselves. However as with many things, this streak would not last forever. On a particularly dangerous job from the Hutt Cartel of Nar Shaddaa, the two were sabotaged. However not by any rival gangs, but by Chiss spies sent by the Ascendancy to return V to his home world. The spies overwhelmed the duo, and as a final gift to his apprentice, Droz handed V his trusty blaster and bought him enough time to escape on his own. V ran, and kept running until he could no longer hear the voice of his mentor. He was sheltered for some time by associates of Droz, however they could not hide him forever. He was now alone again, back to square one. However V is no longer in pursuit of fame or glory, his only focus now is to continue the life Droz had taught him in order to gain enough power and resources to find his mentor, and rid himself of the thorn in his side once and for all.
