Legend

this young man was a native of the planet Belderone, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He father was a Jedi Knight, and Flint believed that it was his duty follow in his father's footsteps and protect Belderone. This often meant that Flint was late for work, and more trouble than he was worth. When Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa arrived on Belderone to investigate the Imperial laboratory there, Flint approached Luke to learn more about the Jedi. Flint and his friend, Barney, later volunteered to help them with their efforts to liberate Kulthis and Belderone. However, when Flint was too late to save his mother from the Imperial attack on their village, he cursed the fact that he couldn't use the Force to help her. Darth Vader, on Belderone to oversee the subjugation of the populace, preyed on Flint's anguish and lured him to join the Empire as a stormtrooper. He was later trained in the use of the Dark Side by Darth Vader. Flint became known as the Dark Lord of Belderone, and was placed in charge of the invasion force which subjugated Naldar. Luke Skywalker was able to control Flint and stop him from reviving the Sith magic. His old friend Barney, now a member of the Alliance, then convinced Flint that the Empire killed his mother and took away his life. Flint renounced his allegiance to Darth Vader, and ended the fighting on Naldar. Shortly afterward, Flint convinced his homeworld fo Belderone to accept the Firrerreo people - refugees from a homeworld destroyed by the Empire - as neighbors.
