Growing up on a Missionary Vessel, there was little time Scarlet spent outside of the emperor's touch and opulence. Her mother was one of the ship's Astropath, a member of one of the Astropath Houses, a position which allowed her to live on the Holy vessel despite her tainted nature. Scarlet learned from her mother and gained proficiency over her own emerging psychic powers, being taught on the ship, with an occasional excursion back to their home station, to be brought before the family elders for testing and various rituals of binding. Once she fully awakened her Psychic potential, she was brought before the emperor, bound to him at the cost of her left eye and the sensation of taste.

Now a fully-fledged Astropath, she was placed on her own vessel, a large merchant vessel making supply runs to the fringes of Imperial space. It was here she met her calling, finding the dull voices of the void in the fringes of humanity less lonely than her contemporaries, having a hard heart and a strong mind, feeling like she was destined to roam these endless expanses. Before she could find true adventure, however, tragedy struck her vessel when she was boarded by Pirates, the crew that she had come to know as a family being cut down in front of her. She managed to escape, due in no small part to her psychic potential, but she swore that she would never let such a thing happen again, becoming obsessed with gathering thrones in pursuance of getting herself the best equipment so that she could protect those she cared about in the future.
