Vardar Fen'Amar Taldrya

Character History

Pre-history

Onderon (left) and the jungle-moon of Dxun

On a small camp on the Onderon jungle-moon of Dxun, four mandalorian generals were gathered around a fire. They all were gathered for a reason. Recently there had been attacks to the four major mandalorian settlements around the the jungle-moon. This was undoubtedly the work of the Onderon conservatives who still feared a mandalorian invasion. Times were dark for the re-building mandalorians. They had re-developed enough to be called a nation. Deep-space salvage explorations had provided them with many technologies they thought were lost when their homeworld was destroyed. There were now four hidden (but thriving) mandalorian settlements, all of which had been attacked on the course of the last few months. Although they had striven to keep their numbers hidden, the Onderon conservatives had gotten wise. They no longer considered the mandalorian unification effort to be insignificant and had acted on this thought. The four generals remained around the fire for the rest of the night discussing what the best course of action would be. In the end it was decided, should things get out of hand, to cut all communications and abandon the settlements in order to seek refuge in a more remote zone of the jungle-moon.

A Warrior is Born

In the year of 9 ABY a small and battered space ship carrying a pregnant mandalorian woman and her husband, once a great mandalorian warrior, rushed through hyperspace. As the engines gradually failed so did the ship return to ordinary space. Unable to control the speed of the ship, the warrior had no other choice than to attempt a landing on the nearest planet, and as he did, so did the woman give birth to a young mandalorian that was to be named Vardar Fen'Amar. The planet was covered with high vegetation. The father knew these to be wroshyr trees, they had landed on the wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk. There was nothing for them to do except build camp and hope for rescue.

The Child

As years passed, Vardar grew strong with the teachings and military training his father provided. Though he was only 4 years old when disaster struck and unknown force sensitives attacked his home, Vardar helped his father protect it, but though they desperately tried they couldn't save his mother. One decade later, other Mandalorian survivors had joined Vardar and his father, and together they had built a camp. Their peace, however, was short-lived for, one day, a meteor shower hit their camp as well as a huge area of the planet they were in, Vardar's father was mortally wounded and died a week later, but not before telling him that they were the last descendants of the Ordo clan, and that though his death was not an honorable one he would die peacefully knowing that his son would become a great warrior. Vardar took his father's Ripper pistol and his full body armor, and after re-establishing part of the camp began work on a space ship to leave that light-forsaken planet.

The Force

Two years later, Vardar had become a man and had gone in search of more lost mandalorians which he had found and settled with two months before in a planet in a nearby system. Again, he wouldn't be left in peace because he was in the home system of the Echani, and this he knew, and as they discovered the existence of a Mandalorian camp, they struck. Though they were great warriors, the Echani couldn't match the skill and combat prowess of these Mandalorian warriors who had never known defeat. And as he proved himself in battle, so did Vardar became worthy of his father's belongings. That system had nothing left to offer him, and with his Ripper, his Ful Body Armor and his self-built X-Wing, he made his way to more civilized galaxies. Vardar had just reached the age of 17 when he came upon true civilization, as he came down on a planet he was surprised to see the local population surrending readily to the invading forces that could be seen. Vardar had never heard of the Sith, but apparently the Sith had never heard of Mandalorians either and when told to surrender and drop to the floor, Vardar fought and killed a Sith apprentice. The Sith Master in charge of the invasion recognise the touch of the Force within Vardar and took him under his wing, mentioning how Vardar had proven himself by killing his former apprentice. And though Vardar didn't understand this new philosphy, he knew right away that he would like it.

Destiny

Six months later Vardar was travelling through space again, he had quickly learned the ways of the Force and killed the Sith Master that had taken him as an apprentice, as his ship was damaged by a meteor he crashed in a nearby moon. This moon was Lyspair, the location of the Shadow Academy and a domain of the Dark Brotherhood, thus did he begin to dwell within the Brotherhood in Clan Tarentum under the care of the current envoy, Acxodim Pyralis under whom he reached the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. A few months later, Pyralis resigned from the clan and then begun Vardar's rising. Though he started as a mere warrior, he quickly made his way up the ranks and became the proud leader of The Yu Circle. Under his rule, Yu quickly became one of the deadliest and swiftest killing squads ever to have existed in Tarentum, but all glory is fleeting, and soon Vardar was abandoned by his warriors. All attempts to ressurect Yu were to no avail, and he had to leave Tarentum. Though he cycled through other clans, Vardar finally came to Clan Taldryan, and despite all complications and yet another brief period of exile, Vardar will remain a Taldryan Warrior for he knows that it is there that his destiny will unfold.
