"Let’s fight to fight, not to kill. We shall fight because we are friends, because we are opponents, and because we are. Have at you." - Sashar to Selene d'Tana, during an ACC match.
A soldier. A warrior. A survivor. Above all else, these are the three defining characteristics of the man known as Sashar.
History
Tragic Beginnings
Born upon Onderon, this human's life would start with tragedy. The transport carrying Sashar and his birth family suffered a critical malfunction, causing it to crash upon the jungle moon of Dxun. No information on the crash or the passengers and crew was ever recorded, and so nothing was known of Sashar's blood family. Miraculously, the 6 month old infant survived the crash.
His life would have ended there had it not been for the timely arrival of the Patriarch of the Kodiak Clan. Happening upon the wailing child in the wilderness, the Patriarch decided to take Sashar with him. Perhaps it was the close proximity with which the transport crashed to the Mandalorian camp, or perhaps it was that a child capable of surviving a crash that killed so many adults should be able to endure what would come next. In any event, what came next was to be raised as a Mandalorian.
Like with so many other "Mandalorians," Sashar was an orphan raised as one of them. And being raised a Mandalorian meant that he underwent the same grueling training and labor as his brothers and sisters. And like all Mandalorians, Sashar was fiercely loyal to his family, and so even as he surpassed his brothers and sisters in training, not once did it cause friction amongst them. The bond between family and clan was incredibly strong. And not even hubris or bravado could break it, yet none would be forthcoming from the boy who put his family before himself.
But, still life would change things – as it always does. At nine, the young Sashar had visions and nightmares of a giant, dark and foreboding structure calling him into the depths of the jungle. Troubled, he told his father of these visions. After much discussion with the elders and leaders of the Clan, it was surmised that the young Sashar had nascent ties to the Force. The information was kept from him, to keep him from believing he was different from his siblings and cousins.
Once more life's current would sweep Sashar up, leaving the past floating behind. Sashar was keyed for more rigorous training in leadership, tactical command and grand strategy. It was hoped that Sashar would one day take part in a grand campaign – a great Mandalorian Army. Still, life would not let the young boy fulfill the desires of his family. Sashar and his brother, Kieran, were inseparable. The two wreaked much havoc and caused much mischief within the Clan's enclave. Breaking into the Clan's archives, the two discovered their father's journal and his account of the discussion with the leaders of the Clan. That Sashar was sensitive to the Force. Immediately, the two youths set off. Commandeering one of the Clan's transports and making their way from the moon Dxun to the planet Onderon. At the temple, dark side entities accosted Sashar's mind. It was only through Kieran's intervention that Sashar arrived, dragging his comatose brother away from the temple and back to Dxun. Sashar would remain in a coma for more than a month.
The youth awoke distracted. Upon his return to consciousness, he proceeded to fall ever further behind in his studies. No one knew what plagued him, Sashar keeps mute about the affair, perhaps he himself did not know the reason for his distraction. In any event, he quickly was shuffled away from Super-Commando training and put into more technical aspects. And still the distractions continued. After a series of minor mishaps due to his distractions, Kieran took his brother once more to the tomb. There, Sashar came face to face with his eldritch demons and emerged from the tomb much more somber.
Chrysalis
The second trip to the temple brought out something much darker and much more ferocious in Sashar. His efforts in training were redoubled and he was returned to Super-Commando training. It was not only in his training that he became more ruthless, but he developed a disturbing and quiet insight on how best to proceed with interrogations, when someone was lying and how to cause the most damage in a situation with the least effort. Troubled by this turn of events, it was decided that Sashar would be sent to Eos, there to learn the ways of the Dark Jedi – the ways of the Sith.
Within the Brotherhood, Sashar rose quickly. Assigned to Clan Alvaak, the Mandalorian rose to Knighthood within a year. From there, he took up command of a squadron of fighters for the Clan, as well as taking on his first apprentice - a young Sith called Zandro Savric Erinos. A rising star, he eventually became a Sith Battlemaster, and Aedile of his House, while in Alvaak. Unfortunately, as is with life, the path he was currently on would be derailed once more. This time, forces beyond him would conspire. Members of the Brotherhood's Star Chamber and other prominent Elders chafed and balked at the liberties taken against their order and severed all ties to their sister organization – The Emperor's Hammer. The Hammer, one of many Imperial Remnant factions, acted quickly to staunch the hemorrhaging of talented Dark Siders from their ranks. Sashar and his command, Sentinel Squadron, were ordered to halt any attempting to secede from Alvaak. Sashar, however, would stay his own hand, unable to fire upon compatriots and those he grew to trust, and consider "ner'vod" - siblings. He was summarily stripped of his rank and charge and exiled from Imperial space.
Without a place in the Empire, Sashar returned home rather than joining the Separatists. There he spent time meditating and conversing with the Elders of his Kodiak Clan. It was decided that he should instead venture once more out into the Galaxy, and learn more of the life that existed away from the cloistered Halls of the Sith, Krath and Obelisk. He would in his journeys, eventually stumble across the Bounty Hunter's Guild. There he would find new comrades in a group known as the Phoenix Kabal. Within the Kabal, he grew close to Dash Kuatir – a Kuati youth renown as both a marksman and a sharpshooter. The two would get into a great deal of trouble as well, as the brash young Kuati complimented the much more stoic Mandalorian. The two would in fact enter into a relationship for a number of years.
Eventually, Sashar would join the Seperatist Brotherhood, and would join Clan Arcona. As is with all things, Sashar made friends, allies and enemies within Arcona. Instrumental in the Selen Incident, Sashar also aided in molding Soulfire Strike Team, utilizing his training on Dxun. The Mandalorian made a name for himself in the Arcona/Taldryan Feud, even though Arcona came off worse in that particular engagement. Eventually, he would be promoted to Aedile of House Galeres, and took on two apprentices Malidir and his own brother Kieran. Both would rise steadily. Sashar would leave however, after he was sacked by his own Quaestor – acting under the direction and request of those outside of Arcona.
Revelations
Sashar spent the time productively. He took an extended LoA with Zandro and his first apprentices brother, Xayun Erinos to help Zandro avenge his former fiancé’s death at the hands of Pirates. Sashar and Xayun worked closely during the incursion into the Pirate base, finding that their different force philosophies complemented each other – the Prelate put it down to their both being Mandalorians. However, a chance meeting of Xayun and Zandro’s sisters in the command centre of the facility. Sashar watched as the two brothers cut down their own flesh and blood – a disturbing sight for the grey Jedi who had always hoped that his first apprentice would follow his ethos in the force.
After the conflict, the trio travelled to the Erinos family home on Yaga Minor. The mother of the two Erinos brothers, upon laying eyes on Sashar, divulged a confession. The Mandalorian was her son – she had had a child before meeting Zandro and Xayun’s father, and the father of the child had insisted that he be taken to a Mandalorian Clan to be brought up a warrior. Not wanting children at the time, their mother had agreed and had heard that the transport carrying Sashar and his father had crashed and assumed that all aboard were killed. Sashar apparently was the spitting image of his father, thus explaining their mother’s reaction. Whilst it was shocking to discover that Zandro, Xayun and Sashar were all related, it was, for the Mandalorian not entirely unexpected – his Force Chain with Zandro when they were training was a testament to that.
Sashar could not enjoy any time with his mother for two reasons: First, neither the mother or the father of the Erinos Boys seemed too keen on dredging up the past, and the Mandalorian was to be recalled by Strategos Entar, the former Proconsul, now Consul, of Clan Arcona. He would be asked to return, but rather than rejoin Arcona, be asked to join The Clan of Death – Tarentum.
This transfer was short-lived. While Sashar felt at home and at ease with the more military-orientated mindset of clan Tarentum, he desperately missed his ner’vod in Arcona. He rushed through the assignment given to him by the Consul of Arcona and returned to Dajorra. This was not before making the acquaintance of one Oberst - the Marshal of Tarentum's military assets. Their single encounter would leave quite an impression on the Mandalorian. Again, he rejoined Soulfire Strike Team and was elated to discover that his second apprentice, Malidir, had completed his training under a different master and was now a Knight.
In a secret ceremony known only to a few Sashar was named ‘Centurion’ of Arcona – a position given to the most loyal to the Consul who would act as his Bodyguard and commander of Arcona’s Special Forces. Sashar immediately set to work training a unit of ‘mundanes’ to combat force users and nicknamed them the Sentinels - a homeage to his first command. He equipped them with superior gear to their compatriots in the Arcona Armed forces and made sure they could pilot all of Clan Arcona’s ships should they need to.
Onslaught
Unrest would spread through Arcona once again and soon there was a vacuum of power in House Galeres when Selene d’Tana, formerly one of the most trusted members of clan Arcona and a prodigy of Shadowcrafting, abruptly upped and left. Malidir was promoted to Quaestor and Sashar’s first apprentice, Zandro Savric Erinos was given back command of Soulfire Strike Team. Sashar took on another apprentice in addition to his brother Kieran – the Nagai known as Rho. Shortly thereafter there was a series of skirmishes between Clan Scholae Palatinae and Clan Arcona. Soulfire was able to put their new gear designed by Sashar and Kieran to use and their first tour of duty as a reformed unit was a success, however the unit did suffer losses, and was somewhat depleted. To combat this, Sashar sent out a call through the force for one of his ner’vod on Dxun – Juda. The Mandalorian answered the call and made his way to the Dajorra System (much to the dismay of the Clan Kodiak Elders). He was immediately placed in Soulfire Strike Team and kept explicitly away from the Shadow Academy – Sashar didn’t want Juda being warped by the Dark Side of the Force. Instead, he took Juda under his wing as an apprentice in everything but name – he still had Kieran and Rho’s training to complete and the Clan Summit would surely never allow him to take on a third; Sashar, however, was of the mindset that what the Summit did not know could not hurt them.
Soulfire Strike Team was still less than full strength when the Rite of Supremacy began. Whilst initially faring well, Soulfire, like the rest of Arcona and indeed the Brotherhood, found themselves simply unable to match the sheer weight of numbers and left the Rite of Supremacy demoralized, however the failure was a crucible of sorts – it did forge the Clan in general and Soulfire in particular closer together, giving them a common enemy to fight against. Sashar finally also took on the duties of Clan Envoy during the Rite of Supremacy.
The Shadow Clan was not to have a redoubt. Bare days after the conclusion of the Rite of Supremacy a Hutt Armada led by the Besadii Clan invaded the Dajorra System. Sashar and Soulfire were immediately sent to Eldar to hold an area of dense forest being used by the invading Hutt forces to land the majority of their Mechanised units and Walkers. The Commando team were pulled out before they could complete their mission by an urgent call from the Consul – the attack on Eldar was a feint, and the Hutt’s real target was Selen.
Soulfire were brought back to the ACC Thanatos and quickly briefed on their mission – to retake the spaceport being used as a main landing area for the Hutt forces whilst their Sergeant, Zandro, was sent on a recon mission, utilising his singular experience in a TIE Phantom. Sashar was given command of the squad. Again, Soulfire were in their element and even went as far as taking down a Gallofree transport and two AT-AT’s (one with the aid of air support from Zandro), however they were struck a double blow when first Wolv was killed by a blast from the second AT-AT. The shock of the death through the battle meld caused both Sashar and Zandro to lose their cool (a rare occurrence). Whilst Sashar had his comrades to back him up and bring him down from his blood drunk craze, Zandro wasn’t so lucky. Sashar’s first apprentice was captured.
Once Again, Soulfire was picked up mid-way through their mission and together with the Consul assaulted Decca the Hutt’s stronghold in Arcona’s Capital – coincidentally where Zandro was being held. In one fell swoop Soulfire freed their Sergeant and killed off the Hutt leader – thereby ending the threat to Clan Arcona and the Dajorra system.
For his bravery in the Hutt Invasion and his completion of the Trials set out before him, Kieran was promoted to Dark Jedi Knight, joining Sashar as a Knight of Arcona. After the Hutt Invasion, Arcona entered a period of relative peace. House Galeres’ Quaestor stepped down and Sashar was appointed the role for his work as Clan Envoy and his repeated dedication during Soulfire’s numerous tours of duty.
Building a Better Future
File:Erinos Family2.jpegThe six founding Erinos Brothers
During this relatively quiet time, Sashar, Xayun and Zandro embarked on a project; to form their own Mandalorian clan – The Erinos Family. They realised that to accomplish this, they’d need to recruit from outside and so made sure to offer the first 6 founding ‘places’ to their friends who had displayed an uncanny edge in combat – Kieran, Juda, and Malidir. Once they had established a core member base of force sensitivies – five of six who were Mandalorian – The Erinos brothers set out to create a small colony on the Arcona-held world of Arconae Primus – to that end, Zandro and Xayun sought out the raw materials for the colony such as pre-fab buildings and construction/farming droids whilst Kieran and Malidir returned to Dxun to offer some families from the Kodiak clan the chance to be part of a new Mandalorian Clan. They returned with 70 men and women, and work was started to establish this blossoming family.
Appearance
Standing just shy of 6 feet, Sashar cuts a distinguished figure with classic good looks and a pair of the warm brown eyes that give him a gentle stare. His skin is a healthy tan, caused by a lifetime outside and he usually avoids facial hair of any kind. With a lean athletic figure that only serves to accentuate his already formidable physical allure, Sashar usually wears a nondescript set of grey robes that do not distinguish his house, clan, or even what order he belongs to when he’s not on duty. For formal occasions, Sashar wears his Envoy robes. In combat, He will usually wear his Mandalorian Armour complete with a grey outer robe. His hair varies from black to dark brown, generally based on how much time he’s spent out in the elements over the past few months and the length occasionally varies from short (just longer than military regulation) to brushing his shoulders. His adornment comprises a silver chain with a symbol of a Phoenix hanging from it also made in silver which hangs about his neck, usually hidden by his clothing. There is a small, almost invisible scar running along his cheek from a fight with a Barabel by the name of Shaithis. Sashar often jokes "you should see the other guy" when questioned about it.
Psychological Profile
The Mandalorian is somewhat of a contradiction, even to himself. His strong sense of a warrior’s honour seems to drive his moral decisions – indeed it features strongly in his philosophy of the force. By his own admission, he refers to himself as a Grey Jedi – a dangerous title for someone in the Dark Brotherhood.
This endeavour for an ‘honourable’ life is countered by his growing strength in the force – he finds himself questioning the Mandalorian drive for war. Indeed, he is starting to see his Mandalorian way of life impractical at times, and looks to the force to aid him towards the ‘greater good.’ It remains to be seen how this internal strife will manifest itself.
His loyalties however, aren’t affected by his conflicting morals and dark temptation. His Family, his House, his Clan and a few select others he would gladly give his life for – the Mandalorian’s family orientated culture being the driving force behind that mentality.
Outside of the close circle his trusts, he ranges from respectful (to those he views as competent warriors) to openly scornful (to those he views as cowards; those who don’t fight with honour). This doesn’t lend itself easily to strangers – that is not to say that the Mandalorian can’t be charming, polite and dapper; merely that he chooses not to be amongst his peers in the Brotherhood.
Combat
In combat, Sashar is very much the Mandalorian’s Mandalorian. He is unafraid to make a mess, accepts collateral damage with a shrug and displays a nonchalance to the various tools he uses to disassemble sentients that startles those who encounter him. His fighting style is no-nonsense, not big on flashy demonstrations of power or skill, instead expanding just enough energy to get the job done, at least when it comes to melee or hand-to-hand fighting. However, his use of high-yield explosives can best be surmised in his own words: “P for Plenty.”
Being trained in small unit tactics since being a toddler, he is incredibly comfortable with a wide variety of blaster weapons, and has also taken it upon himself to modify the ‘gear’ he owns to better suit his needs. Likewise, he worked closely with his brother to help design the Soulfire Neo-Crusader armour to be optimised for a small commando unit who regularly face force users of greater rank and skill. As such, he isn’t afraid to use technology, tools and gadgets in his line of work and sneers at those who think that the Lightsaber is the only weapon they’ll ever need. That isn’t to say that he doesn’t respect lightsaber combat – indeed he is quite the swordsman – but he also is of the belief that there are times and places for the antiquated weapon.
As Soulfire’s former Tech specialist, the Mandalorian is also quite at home with various forms of electronic warfare and spends a lot of his down time when not practicing or attending to his various duties in the clan ‘tinkering’ with various pieces of technology or weaponry to better them.
Lightsaber Combat
Primary Form:Soresu
Secondary Form:Djem So
Sashar’s lightsaber style is, put simply, brutally utilitarian. A master of Soresu, Sashar’s defence is legendary in Arcona. He practices daily, constantly striving to improve his form. Of particular note is fluid approach to the form, maintaining a stoic even-footed defence that allows him to implement his signature move – ‘Mighty Guard’ where he can combat up to 12 strikes a second – a prowess he displayed during the second Rite of Supremacy and the recent invasion of the Dajorra System by the Besadii Kajidic.
The Mandalorian is also a follower of Djem So, and often switches to the first form to throw antagonists off when they expect him to hold back and try to keep them at bay with his third form defence. Sashar switches between the forms as easily as he would change from a jog to a walk and it is often seen to combine the two forms to further confound his opponents.
As an Obelisk, it should be noted that Sashar is no at all limited to lightsaber combat, and often only draws his saber as a last resort, instead preferring to use more conventional weapons such as blasters, explosives or his fists before closing to melee range.
Gear
Cross Saber
Sashar's former Lightsaber
Sashar constructed his third lightsaber after his second lightsaber, a claymore he christened the Violet Vendetta was confiscated upon his banishment from Clan Alvaak. This saber was hastily constructed whilst the Mandalorian was travelling the galaxy, and as such assembled using whatever components he could lay his hands on, rather in the specialised workshops provided by Arcona. A bit too heavy for Sashar’s liking, the pommel has little decoration or grip, instead only offering the wielder something solid and unencumbered to hold onto. With only a single Agedan crystal contained within, the blade is uncomplicated and not aimed at tackling any single type of threat, be it blaster fire or other lightsabers. Sashar lost the blade during a duel in the Taldryan/Arcona feud, however he reclaimed it after the engagement. After the feud, Sashar started work on the Fraternity and now keeps his teal blade in his quarters, strictly as a backup weapon should the Fraternity be lost.
Fraternity
Sashar's Lightsaber
It took nearly a month to make. The delicately tooled bronze and dark chromium exterior contradict with Sashar’s true disposition of being a no-nonsense fighter, not interested in flair and pomp, however, though never admitting it, the Mandalorian could have simply taken great pride (as he does with all of his weapons and tools) in its construction and wanted to display his fierce pride of the weapon in its aesthetics.
Sashar spent a while acquiring the parts he needed for the Fraternity, most notably the crystals. The primary crystal, the crystal which grants the saber its rusty orange colour was bought from an artisan that had been to Mustafar and somehow acquired the crystal through less than legal means. It took Sashar nearly all of the month to get the funds together to pay a deposit on the rare Mustafarian Lava Crystal, and less than ten seconds to threaten the Artisan into giving him the crystal for free, and his money back as a gesture of good faith. Whilst taking no pleasure in this bullying of a hapless civilian, Sashar did acknowledge that it was necessary to acquire that crystal for his saber, and as such justifies it ‘for the greater good.’
The two focusing crystals were another story altogether. The pure black Krayt Dragon Pearl was a gift from the Arcona Consul Strategos Thanatos Entar Arconae to one of his closest retainers and it was given with the hint that it might be useful in Shadowcrafting – the Clan Arcona focus. Sashar installed the pearl into the saber and found that Shadowcrafting was indeed a little easier when he focused on the jet black Krayt Dragon Pearl nestled in his lightsaber.
Finally, the last crystal that went into the Fraternity was a Lorrdian Gemstone, chosen for its use in focusing the mind into predicting attack patterns and when combined with a lightsaber, aiding the wielder in deflecting blaster bolts with the arcane weapon. As a regular practitioner of the Third form, Soresu, Sashar felt that this was a must and he was able to acquire one from the lightsaber of a felled opponent from the Arcona/Taldryan Clan Feud.
The name of the lightsaber was a reminder of Sashar’s heritage – to remind the Mandalorian that his ner’vod had helped him come this far in life, and it was his duty to do the same in return. To that end, Sashar often thought of the lightsaber more as a token to represent his brothers (both Mandalorian and adopted) than a weapon.
Sashar is a master of Soresu.
Armour
File:Sashar-Armour.jpegSashar's Armour
Mandalorian Armour cuts an intimidating sight, and Sashar’s is no exception. Half hidden usually beneath the folds of his grey outer robe, Sashar opted for armour to be painted a matte grey with a black bodysuit underneath. All offensive weaponry usually concealed about the Mandalorian suit has been removed. Instead, the suit has been made as light as possible and as ‘free’ as it can to give the Mandalorian the maximum of dexterity in combat. In the left gauntlet there is a miniature Datapad/comlink combi complete with tactical encryption codex’s to prevent eavesdropping, and there is also a micro-holoprojector to present maps and Holonet Transceiver images in 3D to others.
The Jetpack was removed from this particular suit in favour of Sashar using his innate force abilities to reach places normally not accessible on foot. In place of the jetpack, Sashar fitted a small e-suit’s life support system, allowing the armour to be vacuum-rated.
Whilst the suit does come with a helmet (again, done out in matte-dark grey with lighter grey highlights), Sashar usually opts to go without a helmet unless in a starfighter or when he knows he’ll be encountering an environment outside of atmosphere. However, the helmet has all the trimmings, such as a wide-band comm-antenna/jammer which can boost the signal of the wrist unit, a full multi-spectrum HUD with Blue-light, NV and Thermal imaging as well as a small lens fitted in the rear of the helmet to help prevent surprise attacks from the rear. Naturally, the helmet has its own in-built comlink.
The suit also acts as a bio-suit, monitoring Sashar’s physical health in minute detail. If any part of the body is wounded, the suit can administer simple first aid by the use of built-in medicinal autoinjectors and pressure bladders to act as pressure cuffs and splints. Sashar also installed heat sinks and pads into his armour, making sure that the external temperature wouldn’t vastly affect his performance.
The suit is also designed to be linked up to other Mandalorian Armour suits and can display the physical stats of his team-mates, making sure that he can keep an eye on their health levels. As a finishing touch, Sashar has painted on the Mandalorian symbol of the Neo-Crusaders onto the left pectoral plate in ochre paint, signifying his undying fealty to the Kodiak Clan.
File:Conc.jpgLJ-50 Concussion Rifle
The weapon, taken from a CSP elite trooper on the Victory Star Destroyer Excidium during Soulfire Strike Team’s sabotage sortie in the recent clan CSP/Arcona Feud, is Sashar’s personal favourite. Indeed, he often ‘moves’ the weapon from the Soulfire armoury to his room, hoping that the quartermaster, Kieran, won’t notice.
About the size of a carbine, the Trandoshan-made weapon doesn’t look very sophisticated, indeed, the weapon looks like someone’s idea of a joke when compared with the high-tech equipment Soulfire Strike Team usually are equipped with. However, the sheer stopping power of the weapon is what attracted Sashar. Able to discharge a blast of pure concussive energy (taking the form of a neon blue ‘bolt’ coruscating with arcs of static energy) that displaces anything within a five meter radius, the LJ-50 is also a deadly weapon when it scores a direct hit, as the sheer power of the weapon is often enough to drill through reinforced armour without even losing a tenth of its strength, and when applied to unprotected flesh and skin…well, Sashar has described the after-effects as ‘messy.’
File:Striker projectile pistol.jpegStrike Projectile Pistol
The weapon was typically an underpowered slug-thrower; however the Mandalorian had once again modified it well beyond its design specs. The weapon was now loaded with 16 poisonous darts and a custom-build miniature ion projector adhered to the underside of the small barrel. The Ion projector was a custom piece of tech designed and built by Sashar that drew power from the user in a small but steady rate (taking approximately 10 seconds) until the charge was stored in the battery, then released in a single ion bolt that temporarily disabled anything electric it was pointed at, be it lights, cameras, computers or droids.
File:Verp.jpgVerpine Projectile Rifle
It was short, compact, and expertly tooled. The scope had an anti-reflective scope with no active electronic targeting measures such as a laser sight, making it undetectable by most EM scanners. It also had a multi-load barrel, meaning it could fire just about anything projectile in a pinch; indeed, Sashar kept a lot of different ammunition types back in the crate. The Verpine rifle was also useful in that like most Verpine weapons it made almost no sound when fired, however it was a sensitive weapon that required very little jarring to decalibrate it, making it unreliable at long ranges. Sashar had modified his slightly so that it could take more rough-housing, but he still had to be gentle with the prized weapon. The Scope had also been modified with a variety of range-finders and vision modes including low light, IR, UV and EM. It was his favourite rifle and cost a small fortune, which is why he’d not mentioned to his clan-mates that he owned such a fine piece of equipment.
Sashar's Crate
Ever the Mandalorian, Sashar made sure to bring a lot of his own ‘gear’ from Dxun that he keeps, conveniently enough, in an armoured cargo crate under his bed.

Apprentices
The Mandalorian Pries himself on his mentorship of his brethren and has repeatedly taken on apprentices during his tenure in the brotherhood. Indeed, he recently spent a large amount of his free time assembling what he has dubbed the ‘Kodiak Holocron’ a collection of training regimens and techniques unique to the Mandalorian to help in his training of some of the clan’s newer members.
Zandro Savric Erinos: Sashar’s first impression of Zandro was an eager, ambitious recruit to Clan Arcona that with a little honing could become a stalwart of the clan. He was right. Zandro proved to excel in every field Sashar tested him in and seemed incredibly at home with a Lightsaber. Zandro also exhibited calmness under fie and charismatic dry sense of humour hat made him a brilliant leader. He was also the consummate tactician – in every way Sashar’s prodigy – even going so far as to display an acuity with the rare and difficult art of Battle Meditation. Their newfound familial linkage just strengthened the bond the two have shared and they have remained close even after Zandro completed his training. Zandro still comes to his older brother Sashar for camaraderie and advice.
Malidir: Sashar’s second apprentice, the human was quietly-spoken, not particularly at home with the more mystic applications o the force, but he had a dedicated grit that meant h would never, ever give up. Indeed, his stamina to keep on fighting relentlessly, leading by example is a source of inspiration to his subordinates. Unfortunately, Sashar was driven from Arcona before he could complete Malidir’s training – something the Mandalorian still feels guilty about. Still, Malidir and Sashar have remained friends.
Kieran: Kieran is Sashar’s clan-mate from Dxun and the pair were close even before the Mandalorian took him on as an ‘apprentice’ – though the pair hardly have a master/student dynamic. Indeed, Kieran’s frankness, his black humour and his grim outlook on life speak of someone that rarely listens to authority. This is incorrect however, as the Mandalorian believes in a strong, pronounced chain of command and excels working in small units such as Soulfire Strike Team. He has displayed little ability with offensive force abilities, instead being more adept at augmenting his physical attributes with the force more than anything else. He recently completed his tutorship with Sashar and the two continue to work closely on various tasks for Galeres, Arcona and the Erinos family.
Rho: Not your stereotypical Nagai, Rho and Sashar did no always see eye to eye, yet the Mandalorian cajoled the Nagai into accepting him as a master by showing him the ‘Mandalorian’ way of doing things. This produced mixed results. Whilst Rho is quite the combatant with melee weapons – homage to his Nagai heritage, he took to Soulfire’s blaster-heavy approach to warfare reluctantly. He is nevertheless progressing in his application of the dark side as only a Sith could and has pointedly disagreed with Sashar on many of the more philosophical debates the pair have had when discussing the force, indeed, his ‘Grey Jedi’ stance was dismissed and the Nagai seems content with the role of the dark side in his life. It is Sashar’s belief that he will make a fine Dark Jedi very soon. Whether or not this is a compliment remains to be seen.
Juda: Another of Sashar’s ner’vod from Dxun, Juda looks to Sashar as an older-brother figure and despite the laws prohibiting it, Sashar took Juda as his apprentice despite already having two others. The Mandalorians worked extremely well together, and unlike Kieran, Juda exhibited a level of control over the force that even Sashar couldn’t quite match up to. He demonstrated a natural affinity as a ‘seer’ – having a force sense that was impressive for such a raw recruit to the force, and also seemed to lean towards healing and regenerative force powers – it is expected that Juda will become a brilliant healer and seer as he progresses down the path of the force user. Sashar’s one concern over his ner’vod is that the red-haired youth will be seduced by the Dark Side – something he’s been able to avoid with Malidir, Kieran and Zandro.
