Hetton's lineage stemmed from a prominent noble family on Serenno, including Hetton, his father, and his mother, Loranda. Given their remote connection to House Demici, a significant member of the Great Houses of Serenno, Hetton's family possessed a degree of influence within the planet's political arena. Their family emblem featured an eight-pointed gold star, which Darth Zannah, the Sith Lord, believed to have originated from House Demici's five-pointed star.
The initial introduction of Hetton's family occurred in the novel Darth Bane: Rule of Two, the second book in the Darth Bane Trilogy.
