Born to a clan of Dark Jedi (force neutrals named the Gvolc Clan) who have long been in hiding from the Jedi and Sith, hiding in nomadic cities, Sovin was born as an observer. They had survived by running faster than their enemies would risk moving, observing every moment they could. This says nothing about their prowess, however, as they tend to use mixed styles and any weapons they can find, they try to out adapt their opponents. They also rarely have even been recorded, most considering them to be a single Dark Jedi not worth recording. If, however, the Gvolc finds that someone they do not want to know about them does, they will erase that knowledge with extreme prejudice.

Sovin, after his time in training, was determined to be the best one to go out and determine the current situation that the galaxy is undergoing. Sovin grabbed what he could before setting out, as he figured that the worlds beyond the convoy would be unwelcoming.

As time went on, Sovin found a way to hide his 'force signiture' by using the force properly. While this was something of extreme value to the clan, it had some weakness. The first was that since it was a force power, one cannot use it at the same time as others. The second was that if a force user was within 100 yards could sense the disruption that was caused by this power. The third was that starting to use this power, and stopping its use, causes easily notable pulses in the force. Other than his capabilities as a force wielder, Sovin is not the galaxy's greatest shot.

Sovin carries a blaster pistol and a vibroblade that he had made himself. He wears a set of Sith Trooper armor. He has a modified Jedi starfighter that is almost completely aftermarket, being upgraded several times over. He also keeps a few droids in the cargo bay that he constantly rebuilds and repairs with and without the force to train his mechanical skills.
