Born on the planet of Pelagia, Xander Paddox , due to his lineage, was raised a noble. The planet Pelagia was once a very respected planet in the Tapani Sector, but in recent years has fallen on hard times. Going through this turmoil and period of uncertainty has made the young nobleman truly question whether this is the lifestyle he was meant to lead.

As a child, Xander's parents, Kendal and Matura Paddox were assassinated. The assassin was never caught, but Xander has his suspicions as to the true murderer behind his parents death. For decades House Pelagon had been at odds with House Mecetti, a rival house who had close ties with the Empire. The chief of house of Pelagon, Theus Paddox, Xander's Uncle, had been sympathetic to the Jedi Knights years before the Empire came into power and had been aiding remaining Jedi in escape and survival from the Imperials during that time. Someone informed House Mecetti of this and they in turn informed the Empire. However, the Empire was unable to uncover any truth to this rumor, casting House Mecetti in a rather unfavorable light. Mecetti, made to look the fool, vowed harsh revenge on the Paddox household. Shortly thereafter, Xander's parents were killed, aging the young boy quickly and subjecting him to the harsh realities of the universe.

At an early age the young noble grew fond of the various shooting and blaster ranges on his home planet. He found that there, he could relieve himself of all of the aggression and anger he felt brewing within. His weapon of choice became the Merr-Sonn Quickfire-4 holdout blaster. Through countless hours of practice he grew quite deadly with the weapon, which would prove to be useful later in his life.

After a blaster competition that saw Xander accidentally kill his opponent, a young noble named Theolius Barstaad, the Barstaad family vowed revenge, unbeknownst to the young noble. They got it when they successfully framed Xander for an assassination attempt against Emperor Palpatine shortly before the Battle of Endor. The case was held up in courts for months while the Paddox family pulled on every resource they had in the Coruscant judicial system and spent a small fortune on lawyers and legal representation while Xander cooled in an Imperial holding facility there. Finally, after bribes were made by the Barstaad family to send Paddox to prison and take him out of the picture for the ascension to the house throne, he was sentenced to life on the Imperial prison planet of Rordak.

While serving time on Roardak, Xander was freed by a rebel Spec-Ops team known as Raptor Squad. Raptor Squad had arrived to break out their former cell leader, Jax Sheba and had run across Xander as he was being transported from building to building. Xander claimed to know where Jax was being held, and in exchange for the information Raptor Squad agreed to break him out as well. Since that fateful night, Xander has remained with the team, doing things and going places and living a life he had never dreamed of. He is content in the fact that, now he is doing more damage to the Empire than he ever thought possible.
