Ronan was abducted during an attack on his homeland in Orry. For what seemed like months he shared a prison with several other strange aliens he'd never seen before. Automated devices would occasionally drop from the darkness overhead and yank select prisoners from their cells to an unknown location, followed shortly by their anguished cries. They were never to be seen again. Ronan put up a fight when it was his turn to go but was unable to overcome the steely metal grip of these powerful mechanisms. It was then that he noticed the pincers that were aimed at his neck had a series of nasty looking needles, dripping with poison.

He awoke, disoriented to find himself being auctioned off as a slave in a strange new land. How long had it been? Days? Weeks? Months? Long story short (there really is a lot more to it), he found himself being conscripted to fight in a small time pit fighting ring. Being a relatively new species to the galactic circle, the phentomite was guaranteed to draw a crowd. Ronan had some experience with hunting and hand to hand combat but not on this level. He was clearly outmatched in the first round and in a life or death moment, he stunned the crowd by displaying a powerful blast of energy from his fist, knocking his opponent flat. His new powers had manifested in that moment and remained a raw, untamed force for the next several years as he served his greedy masters.

In more recent years, he was rescued by an agent of the Stewards by the name of Cedona who had received a tip on the transport of slaves to a very high stakes (to the death) gladiator event in Near Space.

Recognizing his unique abilities, Cedona dropped him off on Absolom Station in the care of an old Kasathan friend of hers. This Kasatha also shared the same unique mystical control of entropic forces and helped to guide Ronan to control his new found powers and more importantly, to take control of his own destiny for once.
