John and his twin brother David were born on and grew up in slave camp on Ylesia. Their parents died while they were young, so they grew up taking care of themselves and watching each others backs. Since an early age, John and David tried and failed to escape the colony many different ways. Each time they learned a little bit more about how the colony worked, how transports were scheduled, guarded, and how to improve their plan.
One day, a new protocol droid arrived in the camp – ARK-3 – that attached itself to the brothers. For unknown reasons, ARK-3 also wanted to escape the camp, and helped them execute a plan that almost succeeded with their escape. At the last moment, before the transport ship they were stowing away on was cleared for takeoff, their hiding spot was discovered. David managed to draw the search away from John and ARK-3, convincing them that he was the only one stowed away. John and ARK-3 have been looking for ways to go back and find David ever since.
Since leaving Ylesia, ARK-3 has continued to follow John and treat him as his master; but John still doesn’t know why.
John made his way to Tatooine where he and ARK-3 were taken on as crew for a smuggler named Jan Magus – who worked as a pilot for Teemo the Hutt. While working for Jan, John learned many useful skills, such as how to pilot and maintain a spaceship, how to dodge inspections, bribe port authorities, and work around / with the local underworld elements in almost any situation.
On one of their smuggling runs their ship was attacked and boarded by a raiding party from a rival Hutt. Jan was killed in the attack, but John managed escape with the ship by trapping the remaining raiders in a cargo hold and vent them into space. Unfortunately, more than half of their cargo was lost in the maneuver. Teemo let John keep the ship he saved, but ‘insisted’ that he take over Jan’s runs indefinitely in order to pay him back for the lost cargo.
