BIOGRAPHY:
Born on Nal Hutta and like most of his race, directly into servitude of the Hutts. Around the time Bhakt was 8 his parents decided they wanted a better life for his son. The Wemk family smuggled themselves off Nal Hutta and attempted to get out of Hutt space. They succeeded, but were hounded for years by Hutt bounty hunters trying to make a quick reward for returning them. It was during these years that Bhakt would learn to defend himself and his family, and becoming very good at it. In particular with the use of melee weapons, eventually even getting his hands on a vibroax which he would carry with him for years to come.
Years passed and Bhakt only grew in talent as a fighter, seeming to almost have a 6th sense for danger and a knack for quickly learning an opponents fighting style. Unfortunately one day a hunter got the better of him in a surprise attack, knocking him out and slaying his parents in the resulting scuffle. He came to on a merchant ship being transported back to the Hutts. Luck smiled on him soon after though as a band of pirates known as the Screechbats soon attacked the ship. They began wiping the ship clear of all it's crew and passengers before coming to Bhakt. The captain could see that the young Nikto was no ordinary passenger. He offered the Bhakt a chance to live if he joined the Screechbats. Seeing no real alternative Bhakt agreed and entered a dark yet enlightening period of his life.
His time with the Screechbats was violent to say the least. Before Bhakt had only fought to protect himself and his family, now he fought when he was told. The Nikto hated using his strengh in such a way, but at the same time a small part of him felt good. He crushed the weak underneath him, hell even some of the strong fell to his vibroaxe. Over this time he even became a decent shot with a blaster. During this period Bhakt began to understand that he seemed to grow stronger when he felt strong emotions. He began to draw on this feeling letting it fuel him during combat never realizing truly what this power was. He used this power to climb the ranks of the Screechbat crew until he was the lead enforcer, even having a small squad under him.
One day however, during a raid of a transport ship Bhakt would once again learn something about himself. The ship they attacked had taken on a Jedi Knight as a passenger. The Jedi made quick work of Bhakts squad leaving the Nikto to fight the knight alone. Bhakt fought with everything he had but the Jedi proved too much. As Bhakt looked up at the Jedi from the ground, lightsaber cuts covering his body, the Jedi spoke. "Such a pity you've ended up with these barbarians. You've much potetinial, the force is very strong in you."
Bhakt was taken aback. He had no idea that the power fueling him all this time had been the Force! The Jedi futher explained that in particular he felt the darkside in the young Nikto, but that it wasn't too late to turn his back and regain the light. Bhakt of course had no idea yet what the Jedi meant and unfortunately he would have to wait a bit longer to find out. The rest of the crew arrived and overwhelmed the Jedi with superior numbers, killing him.
Things returned relatively to normal for Bhakt though after his encounter with the Jedi the Nikto began to look closer at his actions. He thought back to all the killing he'd done during his time with the pirates, some in self defense yes, but for the most part it had been indiscriminate. He'd murdered without cause and without guilt for years. This thought sobered the young fighter. He'd begun to try and control himself more during raids, only fighting when necessary and trying no to kill if possible. The urge to let lose was always present however, the urge to kill, to maim, to feel blood spray over him. The crew began to notice the change in Bhakt's demeanor however and talk began to spread that the fighter has lost his killer edge.
Months later on what seemed like a normal raid after the plunder was all loaded Bhakt was about to leave the ship, but only found blasters pointed his way. The captain had decided Bhakt had become more of a liability than an asset and was prepared to end him. Bhakt didn't scream in rage, or look on in horror. No the Nikto simply gripped his vibroax tighter and smiled, because this fight would feel like the old days. This was a fight that, even though it was only for his own survival, had given him something to fight for again. He called upon his anger here, but now it was measured, tempered with control. The pirates didn't stand a chance as they had bottlenecked themselves in a corridor letting Bhakt take them only 2 at time. the 14 man crew fell one by one, some to their own crew mates as fear began to set in. Finally only the captain remained and all he did was smile and say one phrase before Bhakt struck him down, "Looks like that edge is back boy!" After it was done Bhakt looked down at the dying captain and said, "No, you just gave me a new reason to fight"
He'd leave in the pirates ship eventually selling it off to by a smaller more agile ship. Now all Bhakt had ahead of him was questions, mostly just about what to do now. He'd figured he'd start by trying to learn more about the force, so he set out on a long journey of discovery. Training himself or finding others that would teach him how to control the power within him. After a time though he knew he would need to find someplace he could settle and find an actual master. Bahkt figured it would be the only way he could fully gain more of grasp on the force, though by his reasoning he had reached the level of training of most apprentice level force users. It was around this time that he happened to hear about The Dominion. a faction that had recently been devastated and was now looking to regroup and grow once more. The Nikto figured this sounded as good as any place to start and headed toward Dominion space.
