The Zanto's were a successful couple. Khal was a gifted medical researcher, while his wife Zifa was a director in Zeltron's holo-entertainment industry. They loved their careers and their luxurious life their high-paying jobs afforded them. While a family was not their goal, they did have a son, Dak. While the boy lacked in the warm fuzzy of a close family, his parents gave him lots of leniency. A boy left to his own devices, on a planet like Zeltros, meant by the time Dak was in his teens, he was living his best life. Girls and fun were his staples. He showed a gifted aptitude for mechanics, and was hired to work on high-end speeders and air cars, only taking jobs from wealthy clients. He became an adrenaline junking, racing vehicles of everykind. While he kept his grades high, and didn't get in trouble with the law, his parents were happy. It was, afterall, Zeltros.
Dak was ready to get out on his own soon, having earned a good store of credits from his mechanic work and race winnings. He had had his fill of thrills on the ground, and looked up to the stars. He managed to buy a partially stripped Aero-99 Racing Starfighter that he customized and began running the racing circuit. His unusually sharp instincts in piloting vehicles now made him a successful racer.
Dak lived the high-life, becoming a local celebrity, the life of the party as he won race after race. But all that came to a screeching halt when one race changed his life. He and a buddy he had made on the circuit entered a New Year celebration race. All was going well for the both of them, until something in Dak's thrusters malfunctioned, flinging his ship out of control, until it careened into his friend's racer. While Dak was able to regain control of his damaged ship, his friend's ship was soon engulfed in a fireball.
After that, after not only losing his friend to an accident, but causing it himself, made all the luster of his life turn dull. It didn't matter. Eventually, in a desperate desire to find personal redemption, he heard about the Foundation. While never having been in the military, his skills in piloting made him an excellent candidate to fly a starfighter. Being a part of something like the Foundation could give true meaninn. With encouragement from friends and his parents to use his skills for something good, Dak signed up with the Foundation Fleet Command.
After a short stint as a fighter pilot with the Foundation and fighting Ravagers on Ryloth, Dak visited Naboo with interest in the Royal Navy.

Dak's stature is not unusual, though his frame is quite physically fit. His skin is light crimson, while his hair seems to shift depending on the light from almost black to blue, and seems to defy taming. His gaze is hazel, softer than the hues of his skin and hair. He wears a small charm around his neck given to him by the sister of his friend who was killed while racing.
