Duke Paravin was born in 2669CS aboard the Luxeon-Class Pinnacle Starship, a lavish starcruiser serving as the headquarters for The Minera Company. While he grew up among corporate executives, his fellow Forthisalites watched their home world of Forthisal being converted into a massive industrial processing facility. The Minera Company stripped the planet's mountains for rich resources and covered the surface with massive mechanical structures.

Duke's path was dictated by his father, Captain Dorno Paravin, who commanded the company's elite bodyguard division. As a youngling, Duke underwent extensive training in wrestling and martial arts to prepare for a role in high-stakes security. He adopted his father's strict professional code. As an adult, Duke excelled within The Minera Company's bodyguard division, earning a reputation for his effective combat methods and eventually earning the moniker 'The Corporate Clobster.'

His career highlights as a bodyguard include neutralizing disguised mercenaries to save a CEO at the Baxet Commerce Station in the Yuri System and defeating Suvar Saviors leader Madren Jivax during an insurgent attack at Dreko Din Plaza on the planet Mattollo in the Joradd System. He also tracked down an embezzling executive, apprehending the fugitive on the planet Aku in the Orenea System. Despite his many successes, The Minera Company replaced its Forthisalite bodyguards with automated ComBots to reduce costs. This decision stung Duke, who had expected his career to end in battle, not by corporate cost-cutting.

As part of a new initiative to expand its influence, The Minera Company sought to showcase the strength of its finest warriors in the universe's most prestigious arena: the Galacticana. After a rigorous selection process, Minera's supercomputer identified three names to represent the company. Duke was chosen alongside the “Meteor Merc” Garad Mezar and Otto Vehrek the “Jagged Cog” to form The Boulder Busters.

Though the trio came from different backgrounds, they bonded during their training and became a force of nature, united by a singular purpose: to dominate the Galacticana and highlight the strength of The Minera Company.
