Nico Fett

"I’m not seeing intimidation here, you guys are saying the leader of the Black Suns kills for fun to (Nico) someone who is declaring planetary war for mild amusement... I'm not debating what you’re saying it just sounds like Nico has badder sheb between the two bad shebs."

- Ala Vizsla

Nico Fett was an Anzati Mandalorian warrior active during the time of the Clone Wars and the first Galactic Civil War. He was born in the year 45 BBY on Mandalore to a human father and anzati mother, a direct blood descendant of the Mandalorian Wars’ Cassus Fett. He served as a Cuy’val Dar Trainer of the Grand Army of the Republic on Kamino, and eventually served as second in command to the Zeltron Mandalore known as Legion Harkonnen.

The birth of a Mando’ad (45 BBY)
Nico was born on the planet Mandalore in the year 45 BBY, in a small settlement far from Keldabe, known as Shershoy. The child of a human Mandalorian named _____ Fett, a blood descendant of Cassus Fett, and his Anzati assassin-turned-Mandalorian wife, Ka’ren Viridis: Being born a hybrid between Human and Anzat, Nico was born with a complete human appearance. Meaning he lacked the bulbous nose of an Anzat and kept the nose of his father, but kept the hidden proboscises of the Anzati species. Both of Nico’s parents served under Jango Fett and his True Mandalorians, but both were permitted a year’s leave from service to watch over their newborn.

Not long after Nico’s first birthday, his parents were called back in to service to aide Nico’s distant “uncle”, the Mandalore Jango Fett, with a job on Galidraan. The year old Nico would never see his parents again. After his parent’s deaths, Nico was taken in by his uncle Tay’haii: an Anzati Mandalorian who had served the Mando’ade since before the Mandalorian Wars. It was from his uncle, that Nico would gain the bulk of the influence for his own views and beliefs, including a religious obsession with the War Gods of the Mandalorian Crusaders and the policies of the Neo-crusaders: so much so that Nico would publicly deny the existence of the Manda, and call on others to follow in the worship of Kad Ha’rangir.

Growing up on Mandalore
Nico grew up living with his uncle Tay’haii: training, hunting, and learning all that he could from the centuries-old Anzat. Tay’haii also taught Nico how to manage his hunger for the ‘soup’ of living beings, something his mother had not been able to teach him. Due to Nico being a hybrid, his hunger was lessened, but still lingering: causing Nico to have a sort of twitch whenever he felt a force sensitive near in the force, despite not knowing of the force yet.

When Nico reached the age of eleven, Tay’haii took Nico on a special ‘trip’ without telling him where their destination was. After a short hyperspace flight on board Uncle Tay’s freighter “The Dha’oya”, the two Mandalorians exited hyperspace near orbit over Galidraan. As the two walked along the surface of the world, Tay’haii took Nico to the place where the True Mandalorians had been ambushed by the jedi twelve years before. As Nico kneeled in the snow, Tay’haii described the jedi and force to Nico, sharing his own sentiments of hatred toward the jedi. As the snow melted in Nico’s gloved hands, the white powder became etched into his mind, Nico would for the rest of his life have an obsession with snow, that he would not be able to describe to others how he came about it once asked in the future. While Tay’haii detailed all that he knew about the force and the jedi to him, he also described how to use his own Anzati force sensitivity to hunt the jedi and how to feast on their essence. From that day on, Nico would hold a strong hatred for the jedi and all things and beings who had anything to do with the force.

The two returned to Manda’yaim and continued Nico’s combat training extensively, also seeking out Mij Gilamar in 33 BBY to teach Nico basic field medicine and first aid. At the age of twelve Nico was given his own first blasters by his uncle, a set of dual Westar-35 Blaster Pistols, the standard weapon of a Mandalorian Policeman. Over his childhood and lifetime, these pistols would see much use by the Mandalorian, becoming his primary weapons in his arsenal. At the age of thirteen, Tay’haii took Nico to a locale weapon smith known as Kad Goran. Tay’haii had called in an old favor to Goran, and the smith had forged Nico’s first Beskar’gam for him. As he tried on his armor for the first time, Nico found that it fit him perfectly and would even accommodate for growth. When offered a jetpack, Nico turned it down in favor of a black cape with dark green linings. Confused by this, they tailored a cape to match the young lad’s desires. At last Nico tried on his helmet to test it the HUD, he questioned the men as to why it was colored differently and had a dent in the dome: the men revealed that the black helmet was actually his father’s, recovered from the snows of Galidraan. When the time came to paint is new ‘gam, Nico chose to keep the black from his father’s old color scheme, as well as Orange for the primary color: meaning Shereshoy, the name of the town he grew up in.
