The Early Years
Aiden Zulker was born on Arkania in the year 3,981 BBY. His father was a senator who made a fortune in corrupt bargains, while his mother was the heir to her father’s wealthy mining company. Due to his rich upbringing, Aiden developed an above-average level of arrogance, even for a race as proud as the Arkanians.
As a young student, Zulker performed excellently in all of his studies. He showed a strong aptitude for science, excelling in anatomy, biology, physics, and all of his technology related classes.
At the age of 18, his parents enrolled him in a private school on Coruscant for aspiring politicians. From an early age his father had groomed him to one day be his replacement in the senate. Aiden, however, lacked the charisma of his father and often stuttered when he spoke. He was not used to performing poorly in school, and Zulker was frustrated and alone for most of his time there. Other senators held Aiden’s father’s corrupt practices in disdain and told their children to stay away from the young Arkanian, fearing he would prove to be a bad influence. This bad experience away from his homeworld only fostered the dislike of other species, which had been instilled in him by his parents. He began to resent his father and the greed that defined him as well.
3963 BBY (Age 18-22)
Perhaps realizing that he was not cut out to follow in his father’s footsteps, Aiden dropped out and enlisted in the Republic military at the onset of the Mandalorian wars. He was much more at home in the armed forces than he ever was at the school in Coruscant. Over the course of his training he became more physically imposing, and his stutter began to disappear as he became more comfortable and confident in himself and his abilities.
While his performance as a soldier in the army was merely satisfactory, he soon learned that he had great talent as a pilot. While stationed on Suurja, Mandalorian forces overwhelmed the Republic naval forces in the area and set up a blockade of the planet. The Republic troops that remained on the surface were hunted by their enemies, and had no access to supplies nor any way to call for support. With his extensive knowledge of technology, Aiden was able to help repair Republic fighters that had crash-landed on the surface. He volunteered, along with 10 other soldiers, to fly through the enemy blockade and bring back help. It was a suicide mission.
Only three of the pilots survived the escape attempt, one of them being Aiden. They returned several days later with a large Republic fleet, and successfully routed the Mandalorian forces. In the attack Zulker took out more enemy fighters than any other pilot, and soon after left his regiment to join the Republic Navy. Although he had been awarded several new ranks during the course of the war, he chose to remain in combat as a pilot. By the end of the Mandalorian Wars, Aiden had become one of the Republics most distinguished fighter pilots, and received a medal for his actions of Suurja.
After the war Zulker returned to his home world, where his parents had arranged a marriage for him with the daughter on another influential family. Aiden married Ioma in 3,960 BBY, and had a son soon after.
3,958 BBY (Age 23-35)
As Revan and Malak blazed a path of destruction throughout the galaxy, the Republic called on Aiden for his services again. The Arkanian was indeed bored with his arranged marriage and settled life, and was ready to return to battle again. However, he chose to serve under Revan, who he had grown to admire during his time in the Mandalorian wars. Aiden felt at home with the sith and their attitude towards other species. Initially serving as the captain of an Interdictor-class ship, he was eventually promoted to commander of his own fleet after Revan’s death.
As it became apparent that they were not going to win the war, Zulker bagan to distance himself from the sith. After Malak’s death, the Arkanian took a ship and a crew he could trust and disappeared into wild space.
3945 (Age 36-56)
A little over 10 years after he had disappeared, Aiden returned to his home planet, where he became senator. His years in the military had given him the discipline and confidence that he lacked when first trying to become a politician in his youth. Although some questions were raised about his service under Revan and his disappearance, the Arkanian possessed enough inherited wealth from his parents to essentially buy his way into the senate. He would serve as a senator for nearly 25 years.
Unbeknownst the to Republic, Aiden had begun to gather forces on his home planet upon his return while he secretly planned a coup. He wanted to finish what Revan started- to exterminate the jedi. Once this was accomplished, Zulker could then finally bring peace under his rule. The galaxy had suffered through two wars; clearly the Republic was too incompetent to institute peace. The senate was corrupt- his own father was a testament to that, and even Aiden was able to buy his way in.
In 3,925, his plans put in jeopardy. An Arkanian had noticed the forces which Aiden had been building in secret, and alerted the Republic. The senate launched an investigation. With overwhelming evidence, Zulker was found guilty with treason. He was impeached from the senate, but was able to flee to his home planet before being placed under arrest. In an attempt to distance themselves for Aiden and save face with the Republic, Arkania exiled him from the planet, seized his fortune and property, and handed over the fleet he had been amassing. Aiden once again took a ship and disappeared into wild space. Ironically, it had been his abandoned son that had ratted him out the Republic, but neither of them ever knew.
3925 (Age 56-)
Aiden remained in exile for the next 25 years, waiting for his chance to seize power. He watched as Cain and the sith ravaged the galaxy, and watched as the Republic rebuilt itself yet again. These events only further convinced him that the galaxy needed a strong leader to maintain peace. The jedi and sith had been at the center of nearly every conflict in his life; as long as they continued to exist, there would be no peace.
Now Aiden is 81 years old. While perhaps not as physically imposing as he was in his youth, he is as intelligent as ever. He patiently waits aboard for an opportunity to increase his power and take over.
