deRisma was born and raised in the Fourth [[Clan]] of the [[Pasori Kan|Kan]] tribe. He gained distinction at the age of 13 for killing two members of the rival [[Pasori Mepat|Mepat]] tribe by himself. By his own account he left the tribe for good when he was 16, although there is enough information to suggest that he was in fact expelled from his tribe for not passing the manhood test or for a similar reason.

He ran for the seat of Party Secretary in 733 but failed to garner enough votes in the primary round of voting. After the bombing of the Parliament building and assassination of Secretary deVudres he renewed his efforts to gain the seat. Of the three candidates, his position was weakest and was also seen as a hindrance to deSadar's potential success. deRisma eventually dropped out of the running on his own accord, effectively giving his supporters to deSadar's campaign and securing his rival's victory.

Following his political failure deRisma dropped out of public view. His concession was seen as a grave weakness by his former Pasori supporters, and he lost support from many Santri sympathizers as well due to harsh criticisms given during his campaign.
