Aklin Dex was born on Commenor to a pair of career military parents, serving with the Commenor military for his entire life. Though Aklin followed in their footsteps, he left the Military after the Sith Empire invasion of Commenor, opting to join the underground resistance. Shortly there after, a private military became known to the people of Commenor, under the command of the Lord of Brelor. Aklin signed up at the soonest opportunity, finding much in common with the ideologies expressed by the commander of this rag-tag force.
Aklin rose through the ranks quickly, and is one of the few officers that has been with the Octarchy since day one, beginning his career as a commander after the Confederacy incursion on Kuat. His name first rose to prominence when he was selected to lead an away team to lure the ghost ship Confessor into a trap, and recover a Holocron belonging to Voph. Because of this, the then Captain Aklin was promoted, and given command of the Arbitration. After Voph was appointed Viceroy of Vylmira, and elected as the High Councilor, Aklin was selected to become the Councilor of Defense, to oversee the Vylmiran Defense Force, comprised of the Octarchy Covenant Task Force, while Voph is occupied with his Viceroy duties. When Voph takes to the field, Aklin serves as his first officer aboard the dreadnought Resolve, often taking command when Voph leaves the bridge.
