Origins
"He is a mere boy! You cannot allow this child into your army!"

Mayr Kayzen to Ren Ion

Leumas Lietsleknif was the illegitimate son of Xizzle Ion, a notorious Sith Lord. However, he was abandoned on Ryloth and grew up caring for himself. Even then aware of his brilliant mind, he took an interest in politics, and soon became Senator for Ryloth. It did not last, and he found himself back on Ryloth. When the Zeno Sith came to invade his homeplanet, Lietsleknif was one of the primary generals and led his troops valiantly against the intruders. Ren Ion, who was leading the Zeno, became engaged in hand to hand combat with the young Twi'lek, who was quickly defeated. Ion offered him a position as a commander in his army. Lietsleknif accepted, and slaughtered his Twi'lek forces.

Life as a Zeno
"I AM Zeno!"

Lietsleknif to a questioning trooper

Lietsleknif, now a general in the Zeno Sith Order, had won many battles for them, and was being considered for the newly open position of second in command. The opinion of him being the best candidate was cemented when he and Ren Ion won the Siege of Zeno. A group of Jedi had discovered their existence, and tried to take over the main city. Lietsleknif himself killed the Jedi leaders, and it was his strategy that defeated their clones. Their presence was once more secret, and he rose to Second in Command. When Ren Ion was missing in action, he temporarily took up the position of leader and guided the Zeno through a series of pirate attacks. Ion soon returned, however, and once again was leader.

After Zeno
Not much is known about how this period was linked with the previous one. No one is sure if the Zeno disbanded, Lietsleknif was thrown out, or what else. However, the next appearance of Leumas Lietsleknif was in the company of Gathe Sharpmelder, Leumas's half brother. He worked for a while with him but soon stopped, for an unknown reason.

Bodyguarding
The last three decades of Leumas's life were spent as a bodyguard. It paid well, and because of his physical prowess and ruthlessness he was in high demand. He served Jolee Merome, Duchess Mileena and many others, but most prominently, Xalandra Nova. For the last fourteen years of his life, he was loyal to Nova and killed many of her enemies. From his own mouth, "Had I not been estranged from business, I would have immediately joined Nova Corporation."

"Death"
"Myan is not death. Myan means I will be here. Always."

Lietsleknif in his dying moments, supposedly to Xalandra Nova, but actually to Yarmen Lietsleknif, his child.

Lietsleknif's life force was extinguished during an attack on his ship, the Rival, where he was having a meeting with Xalandra Nova and two of her generals. Leumas managed to save his guests, taking a bolt in the chest, and survived. The Jedi who had fired the shot then created a Myan Hole, an object of pure light which is the only object that can, effectively, kill a Zeno. The now two hundred and eighty year old Zeno, aware of his impending doom, quietly spoke a few words, pointed his head towards the cieling, and was sucked into the hole.
