Terek never remembered where he was born or what planet he was from, but he does remember being taken from his parents, and taken by a kindly woman who taught him to be aware of and cautiously play with the Force while she gathered a few other young ones. He remembered celebrating his fourth life-day a week after he arrived at the temple, spending time in the creche with the other younglings. Soon enough, his life seemed to fall into an easy existence, as he began learning about the Force. It was shortly afterward that his natural agility was discovered, and he undertook tutelage in the basics of lightsaber combat, as a way of helping him to learn focus.
Four years after he had first arrived at the Temple, he was on a field trip to the old temple on Dantooine with his teacher and the rest of their class when Order 66 was declared. They had no knowledge of this until, as they were returning to their ship, they were ambushed by a squad of clone troopers. During the ensuing fight, the other children were killed, and the Jedi named Tora then hustled him onto the ship despite her wounds, made sure he was safe, and sent it away. He watched her lightsaber ignite as the ship lifted off, and watched the patterns it made as the ship swiftly bore him away. He never saw her again.
A scavenger ship found the ship he was on drifting along the Outer Rim a week later, as he was nearly delirious from lack of food and water. The young poor couple who found him were attempting to scavenge a few items to sell when they found Terek. Treating his wounds, they took him with them back to their settlement on an out of way star near the Unknown Regions named Ourati, in a small village in a large, planet-wide wilderness. There, he learned to hunt and stalk, and he adapted to his new existence. His natural agility lent him many early successes with learning to hunt and live as woodsmen do, and his ability to find things, however untrained, helped him find prey and lost items more than most others.
Still, he always kept the true reasons for his successes hidden, ever mindful of the words that the Jedi Tora gave him before the ship door closed - "The Force is ever your ally, but you must make it a subtle one. The galaxy is no longer safe for those who do. Go - live, be free, and be mindful."
Those words stuck with him ever since, and he never told anyone of his upbringing - only that he had hazy memories of once having parents before he was taken. People's natural conclusions that he was taken by slavers from this, and something he subsequently escaped from, is something he doesn't bother to correct. People tend to ask fewer questions that way.
Once he came of age, Terek sought his fortune as a pilot, taking small jobs in the Outer Rim for the last year.

Contacts: Terek has run into several others during his travels. Below are several notable.
PC's:
- encountering Nils several times, and enjoying some thought-provoking conversations regarding life, and the nature of that which cannot be touched.
NPC's:
- Morrek Meremen - a Taidoran trader that Terek ran into several times, Morrek took a liking to Terek immediately due to the "rek" in his name; as such, they developed a friendly tradership over the years, giving one another priority over certain goods and services, as well as doing one another several favors over the years. Currently, Terek is ahead on points, but not by much.
- Jedi Knight Tora - the kindly Jedi who was with Terek on the Jedi ship during the field trip, and who pushed him onto the ship, and safety. Terek never heard or found out what became of her after the ship lifted off.
- Nel and Forne Matrusken - the couple that took Terek in when he was young, they still trade small goods and shipments, mostly legitimate (if you ask the buyers), who still are in business. Terek at first resolved to visit them about once a year, though has never managed to make it on the same day; after several years worth' of mishaps, he just visits them when he can.
