Nerrik was born into slavery on Nar Shadaa. At an early age his fighting prowess was noticed, with his uncanny abilities in close quarter combat excelling him to the tops of the Hutt's fighting pits. Known for his tendancy not to kill his opponents, he earned his masters quite a few credits before he earned his freedom from the pits.

Although his days wwrw filled with violence, Nerrik never grew to like to hurt his opponents if it could be avoided. He took work on a legitimate shipping freighter as a guard when his days in the pits were done. Starting to see a good life for himself until the Empire took interest in their cargo, and forcefully took over the company. Needless to say the owners objected, and were subsequently executed for crimes against the Empire. This never sat well with Nerrik, and while he was unable to save the kindly old couple at the time, he swore to avenge them, and make the Empire pay.

He joined up with the Rebel Alliance shortly before the Battle of Yavin and found himself working in the field with the Special Forces team Alpha Squad, going after the toughest and most dangerous targets short of Lord Vader himself. Always excelling and astonishing his peers and foes alike with his ability to miraculosly dodge blaster fire and stun batons alike while closing with his great Vibro Sword to sunder the imperial foes before him, always feeling like there was something more for him out there, guiding his destiny...
