After the invasion of Naboo, the Confederacy of Independent Systems knew that a war would come. They had no idea when, all they knew was that they had to be ready. As much as the battle droids would be cheap and easy to manufacture, they would form the bulk of the army. It would be the commanders and generals who won the war.

The Separatists were seeking an edge, a kind of 'super soldier' who would surpass battle droids and put the fear of the CIS in the Republic. The Techno Union and their chief scientists took it upon themselves to design such a soldier. The potential for an enhanced warrior unlike anything ever before became their foremost project, becoming known as Project Sunstorm. By gathering DNA samples and synthesizing biometric compounds, they developed a formula that would push the boundaries of common biology and create the perfect specimen. Unfortunately, every candidate succumbed to death and did not survive the injection procedure. It was eventually determined that a fully-grown body could not handle such sudden changes. The candidates would have to be far younger and less developed. But the search for such a candidate was not easy...

But in 37 BBY, they got their wish.

A human male infant, unwanted by his parents, was given to Pau'an scientist Pomel Scipio. The infant survived the injection and, at the discretion of the Separatist Council, was to be raised and trained to fight like no other.

The boy did not have normal childhood. From infancy, he was taught to uphold Separatist values and despise the Republic. All who served the Republic were his enemies... worthy of death. He was never given love and affection, his day of birth never celebrated. All he knew was the cold steel walls of the compound, the shouts of the drill instructors, the regular injections and the constant mental programming that was transforming him into a monster.

In 22 BBY, the Battle of Geonosis signified the start of the war the Separatists knew was coming. The Republic attacked the Separatist battle droids with their Clone army and the Clone Wars began. By now, fourteen years of training and preparations had transformed the boy into the deadliest warrior in the entire Separatist army, ready to fight and ready to kill. Pomel Scipio stood back and watched with a sense of pride as his menacing creation stepped forward into history and participated in his first battle: The Battle of Christophsis...
