Birth And Adolescence
Radda Manthys was born to a common family who dwelled in the plains of Korriban, stolen as an infant by a sith lord known as Darth Kroll who would spend the next ten years training the young man and preparing him to take over an ancient weapons organization that has remained hidden for thousand of years, always looking for ways to diminish the influence of the Jedi.
It's not know wether Radda had to do something with the death of Darth Kroll, but he became the head of his faction and took over operations within the asteroid's headquarters, plotting and carrying on assassinations and countless illegal operations.
Radda Meets Itala
During an operation in Corellia, Radda's eyes was caught by a depressed man in a bar, who he quickly felt to be force sensitive and in the perfect vulnerable state of mind to brainwash and recruit. He easily convinced Itala to murder his Jedi master and become his apprentice, turning the young man to the dark side of the force and taking him to his asteroid base to continue with his training.
Radda planned to have Itala eventually follow up on the legacy of the organization, but found out that Itala didn't see things the same way, being nearly killed along with his whole crew. He had been set up in a deadly gas chamber and left for dead, only to be rescued by a survivor long after Itala had left. He swore revenge.
Vonika Darrk
Years later, during another operation, Radda meets and recruits his next apprentice, the young Vonika Darrk whom he quickly seduces to the dark side and begins training her in the arts of the force. Fate had it that Radda had found his former apprentice Itala, but by meeting none other than his son Dante Marzullo and striking a long conversation that would plant the seeds of the Marzullo Civil War.
A few days later, thanks to Dante, Radda had lured Itala into a fake meeting, using his new apprentice Vonika to set up a trap and is nearly successful in killing Itala, who barely got away. It was clear to Radda that a mere trap wasn't enough to kill Itala, and continued to device a scheme that would not only get his revenge, but nearly guarantee the destruction of the Marzullo bloodline.

Dante's Revolution
Radda also arranges a meeting with Tiranna Marzullo, who also wanted to see Itala's control of The Marzullo Clan over and done with. By the time all of the pieces came together, the war had started and Radda began a deadly rampage of revenge.The details are scarce of Radda's role in the war, but he is responsible for taking many lives, but nearly loses his own during an epic clash with the Marzullo Elders that makes him flee. He also participates in an ambush that nearly took the lives of Viktor, Matthias and Kannon, culminating in a battle for the Marzullo Fleet which he never agreed or planned on, spearheading the retreat into Coruscant

Trivia
- The inspiration behind Radda came about with the fact that there are always two of everything, including Itala and what would become his master. In the old days, Itala would sometimes mention a master, but after being questioned by Darth Bane about it, he'd dodge the question.
- The anime character used is Wyvern, a judge of Hades' underworld in the anime "Saint Seiya".
- The concept behind the existence of Itala's master dates back as far as the first few days of roleplaying in the original Star Wars Fans. The character wouldn't be roleplayed until 6 years later.
