[Star Wars] What are Darth Sidiuos's roots?

Where did he come from? What was he like as kid? He was a senator from Naboo, so is he from there? How did he get so powerful?

He was a manipulative little shit, born on Naboo to one of their noble families. One of the four most important noble families. He inherited a violent streak from his father.

He always thought of himself as different, and was clever enough to twist everyone around him like a kitten with a ball of wool - except his family, who he had a strained relationship with thanks to his actions. His father was never completely convinced the little bastard was actually his, so difficult was he to get along with. The only nice moment they shared was that time Palpatine accidentally killed two people in a speeder his father bought him as a bribe, with Dad in the cockpit. Oops.

He was originally discovered by Plageuis in University, while hip-deep in a scheme to discredit his father and the other nobles by releasing some information about how naughty they'd been in hiring mercenaries to exterminate the gungans (Though the real crime was that they failed). Palpatine was recruited as a spy and may have *accidentally* butchered his entire family during this time. This led to his recruitment as Apprentice to Darth Plageuis, since patricide and other crimes gets you extra points on the checklist.

His power came from a number of things: His inherent potential, for example. His teaching: during this time he began training Darth Maul after obtaining him as an infant and spent a great deal of time delving into Sith lore while building his political career. While Plageuis concentrated on his 'great work', Palpatine centered himself in locations across the galaxy that were strong with the dark side, augmenting his power. He combined a double life successfully; one as the sticky Palpatine, the other as the ice-smooth Darth Sidious. He learnt to hide himself from the Jedi by making 'friends' with them. He travelled the galaxy, met interesting people (in the form of Dark side force adepts) and killed them. Sometimes subjugated them. His crowning glory was getting his Master hammered and electrocuting him in his sleep, causing him to suffocate as his breath mask shorted out.
