The Grand Marshal of the Galactic Empire was born as Dzon Sanyon in 21 BBY on Byss. His parents later moved to Anchorhead, Tatooine. There, he met the Lars/Skywalker family, and was a childhood friend of Luke Skywalker. His parents, after moving from Byss, were now working as mushroom farmers, lower than the moisture farmers the Lars family were.

Dzhon was very discontented with this, and decided to take up hunting womp rats at the age of 16. He was often seen arguing with shopkeepers on the quality of his furs. He eventually managed to get a T-16 Skyhopper, which helped him move around and near Anchorhead, and help him continue on his hunts.

Shortly after, Luke and Biggs would also acquire their own, and this is where the tragic turning point of his life occurs. Luke, Biggs and Dzhon were attempting to navigate Beggar's Canyon, and the three were arguing the best way to do so. Eventually, Dzhon decided to go along with Luke's suggestion. However, a fatal engine error caused his skyhopper to crash.

Luke noticed this, and ran off to get help. However, in his injured state, Dzhon thought that Luke was gloating as he ran of cowardily, and his last thought before passing out was revenge. He was discovered by an Imperial medteam, and woke up in an Imperial hospital. Grateful for their aid, Dzhon enlisted in the Academy after he recovered. </td>
