Family:
He is from a family of ancient nobility who in the last several centuries has become generationally-rich through its heavy involvement in the Diplomatic Corp. He was born on Bothawui right after the destruction of the second death star. He is the third of many son’s and third heir to the core family wealth. His family is heavily involved with intergalactic trade and negotiations.
Bothan culture (from Wookiepedia):
Guided by the philosophy and principles set forth in the ancient text known as The Way, written by Golm Fervse'dra. In this "Bothan Way", the pursuit of power and influence was paramount. Thus, individual Bothans put their own political and economic success above all other concerns, and as a species, Bothans put their own advancement ahead of other intergalactic interests, though many did side with the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil war. The volume of backstabbing, subtle character assassination and political maneuvering in Bothan society was dizzying, and resulted in many species stereotyping Bothans as untrustworthy. In fact, most Bothans are habitually paranoid, believing that anyone who's not working with them, is working against them.
Background:
As most planets and systems, there are rare individuals who show Force sensitivity. This is the same on the home-world of the Bothans. For centuries, before the destruction of the Jedi, when a Bothan is shown to have Force power he was identified and the Jedi Order is notified. Typically the child would have been taken to the Jedi Temple for training, forever leaving Bothan society to become a Jedi. Now there is no Jedi order.
However unique to the Bothans is a hidden family lineage that has a high rate of Force sensitive offspring. When one in this lineage is found to be Force sensitive, instead of in the past being taken right away, he would be kept on Bothawui and trained by an ancient cabal of Bothan force users. The are called The Onitenshi Camarilla.
This group had been working in coordination with the Jedi Counsel for over two thousand years, and had an agreement about these unique Bothan force users. In the past they were kept on Bothawui and trained until the age of 12 before sent for Jedi Counseling testing and possible additional training. Now the training is completed only by this cabal of force users. This unique family is the Bothan family of Riskyr'Draeks.
Instead of being trained as Jedi, focusing on being warriors and generals, the cabal train the force sensitives as diplomats, investigators, spies and infiltrators.
While the group contacted Jedi Luke Skywalker and let him know of their presence, he has not show any interest in working with them to train force users.
Thaar Vonn Virgilio of Riskyr'Draeks was born into this family, and was identified early as a force user. He was trained and then at age 12 was tested and evaluated for further training by the cabal. Found to be worthy, he spent the next 12 years training by this group. His training specialized in using the Force for social, diplomatic and investigative uses. His training did not include the infiltrative side of force use. Once his training was complete his assignment was to join the Republic navy.
Thaar joined the Navy at age 24. Naturally the Navy found he was a perfect fit for Naval Intelligence. After 4 years of officer school and 8 years of rapid progression up the ranks of the Navy, he now the Chief Intelligence Officer on the New Republic battle cruiser “Home One”. On this ship he works with the senior level officers to keep the battle cruiser and its thousands of lives running smoothly.
