Atton used to be a Republic soldier. He's fought in wars. He's killed people. That's no big deal, right?
Well, it gets worse.
He went over to the Sith during the Jedi Civil War that rocked the galaxy following the Mandalorian Wars. He was groomed to become the perfect assassin and kidnapper. And he was one. He would track down Jedi and capture them. And then he would torture them. He would inflict agony on them until they were useless, broken shells and then he would kill them.
But what he really liked to do, what he enjoyed, was breaking their will and turning them against everything they had once stood for. He was a war criminal. Until one Jedi changed that. She opened his mind to the Force and she showed him all the pain he'd been inflicting, showed him what he'd done - and showed him that he was Force sensitive. That one day, he would be pulled out and broken down, turned into another Dark Jedi. And then he killed her for crawling inside of his head. He killed her because he "loved her".
WARNING: Torture, Death

And that is his secret.
