Born into a female dominated society as a half-breed, Bladen'Kerst grew up an inaccepted member of one of the ruling families on Durana 7. Being shut out of family life, she befriended a member of the Cardassian Embassy who saw to her education for 25 years. A rather short time, considering the average Drow lifespan of several hundred years. After avenging her mentors murder, she left the Durana starsystem. She is reported to have hired on to every ship that would take her in, mostly arms trader and smugglers of all sorts.
Finally she appeared before the High Council on Qo'noS, demanding access to the ambassadorial personal files previous to her birth. Regarding Bladen'Kersts insolent behaviour, her request was denied. She left the planet on a ship bound to Telesi three days later where she was adopted into the House reS' Qa'.
