Atin Ordo

Atin Ordo, born A'tin Bes'ulik Ordo, was a Human male Mandalorian, whose father was a key figure in the Mandalorian Wars.

Early life
A'tin Bes'ulik Ordo was born 3,963 BBY during the Mandalorian Wars. His father was a key figure in the Mandalorian Forces, and left him and his brother, Zia'har Ordo with their Mother, Kaiyn Ordo. She was forced to leave the Cruiser Night of Fire and take them to a safer place. At the time, the Mandalorians were openly engaging the Republic, and Kaiyn didn't want her newborn children to be killed. She fled the Cruiser, taking only a small ship with her. As she raised her children, they could not have the presence of a Father, and were not raised as most Mandalorians were. Under constant pressure, A'tin and Zia'har were raised under harsh conditions. The Mandalorian Wars spread wide, and affected many Mandalorian planets.

Even after the Mandalorian Wars, it was tough to raise two children. They had to accompany her on various bounty hunting missions, and lived a life of danger. Kaiyn constantly reminded her children that this was not the life they should lead as they became adults. She warned them to always look out for the best interests of the Mandalorian people and to always heed the call of the Mand'alor. In a life of bounty hunting, they couldn't much grasp those concepts since they had never been introduced into full Mandalorian society.

Finally, Kaiyn decided to take her children back to Mandalore and raise them properly. But just outside the Mandalore System, and band of pirates attacked them. They reeled the small ship in with a tractor beam into their freighter's hangar bay. Now trapped, Kaiyn gave her life for her children. A'tin and Zia'har had no hopes of becoming slaves, and picked up the rifles of the dead pirates their mother had killed. They fought through the freighter, killing most of its crew, and commandeered an escape pod.

Heeding their mother's advice, A'tin and Zia'har traveled to Mandalore, not too far away. Their pod crashed, and they made their way to Keldabe, the Capital of Mandalore. After traveling for two days, they reached the city, and were found by a single Mandalorian, Jintas Feyhar. Jintas adopted the two, and taught them how to be 'true Mandalorians'. He would take them hunting, and they soon took a liking to it. But after two months of staying with Jintas, A'tin and Zia'har were made his farm hands. Jintas had owned several crops and needed workers. The two didn't mind it, but it soon became too much.

When they both turned twenty, A'tin decided that he didn't want to be a farm hand any longer. It wasn't the life he wanted. Several planets of the Republic had declared Mandalorians criminals charged with 'war crimes' for the cities and planets they had razed during the Mandalorian Wars. Certain military forces had hunted Mandalorians at this weak time in their history, despite the Republic's fragile state. A'tin remembered what his mother had told him, and wanted to fight alongside the rest of the Mandalorian Fleet as they regained their strength. He gave his brother a choice: Come and fight or stay and farm.

Zia'har wasn't ready to leave yet, and tried to dissuade A'tin, but he was intent on fighting. So A'tin left his brother,even so regrettably, and headed for Keldabe. There he had known a distant friend of Jintas', and he helped A'tin get into the Mandalorian Fleet.

Military career
After being recruited, A'tin served under Geinh R'wa, who was a commander in the Mandalorian Fleet. The missions they were tasked with were not of great significance at first, just escort missions of high ranking Mandalorians or task forces of Mandalorian Troops to bases they had begun to establish. This lasted for almost two years, when a Jedi Cruiser had encountered one of the vessels A'tin was serving on. The Jedi ship was on a mission to search for Mand'alor, and boarded the Mandalorian frigate. Two Jedi knights led a task force of Republic troops onto the frigate, and made their way to the bridge. There they demanded the Mandalorians surrender and pay for the 'crimes' they had committed. The frigate mostly had fresh troops, such as A'tin, but the veterans knew what was going to happen if the Jedi succeeded. Geihn, in command, did not surrender, and fought the Jedi with a vibroblade on the bridge. There he was struck down, and A'tin murdered the Jedi for it. The other Knight began to attack A'tin, but a fellow soldier by the name of Jaster Parjir killed him before his lightsaber struck A'tin. Together the two led the ship's forces to drive the Republic off of it, and retreat.

From that point on, Jaster and A'tin became good friends, and progressed together in the military. Recognized by Mand'alor as a skilled individual, A'tin became closer to Mand'alor, and was given command of the long-dead Clan Ordo. A'tin was looking for members, and so Jaster joined his clan. Soon, the Mandalorian forces had shown the Republic's Hunters that they weren't to be messed with, and A'tin returned to Mandalore for a short time. When he returned, the thought of his brother haunted him, so he decided to pay him a visit.

A'tin went to the homestead where they had been raised, in Taalhir'tsad (community of Taalhir). When he arrived at the homestead he learned of his adopted father's death. Zia'har had been staying with Jintas' late wife, helping with whatever daily tasks they needed to accomplish. In the time A'tin had been gone, Zia'har had grown in personality. He did not welcome his brother at first, but came to accept that he couldn't change what happened. A'tin offered Zia'har a spot in the Clan, telling him that if he had any honor for Jintas and his wife that he should fight to keep the Republic away. Zia'har agreed, and joined his brother's Clan and came to fight beside him. As they traveled, more Mandalorians joined h their clan, fighting in their platoon during missions.

They left Mandalore, returning to duty when word captured Mandalorians reached them. Two Mandalorians had been captured by a Republic patrol in the Outer Rim, and taken to a secret Republic base. It didn't take Mand'alor long to find the base, and he headed an assault on the base. Commanding space forces to ensure no Republic reinforces arrived, he put A'tin and his Clan in charge of the assault. A'tin led the ground forces across the plains to the base's exterior defenses. He called in an airstrike on artillery turrets mounted on the base. The bombers descended from space and cleared the way for the troops.

Entering the base, the Mandalorians were met by a squad of Republic troops. Never having seen a Mandalorian, the unexperienced squad was awestruck, and caught off-guard. The Mandalorians proceeded throught the base, eventually getting pinned down just outside the Barracks. A'tin made the decision to have his platoon hold here, while he and Zia'har entered the Command Center to rescue the Mandalorian prisoners.

When they entered the Command Center, a Jedi thrusted his Lightsaber through Zia'har before he could react. A'tin took advantage of the Padawan's weakness, and killed him. Several Republic troops in the Center responded to the noise, and were killed by A'tin. He kneeled to his dying brother, and regreted the time he hadn't been there for him. Zia'har wasn't concerned with that, only that his brother loved him. A'tin made the promise to him not to show mercy to any Jedi he met. A'tin had his orders to rescue the prisoners, and had to leave his brother. He found the two Mandalorians actually escaping on their own, and regrouped with them and the rest of their forces. There, they had captured the Jedi Master who was training the Padawan responsible for Zia'har's death.

A'tin was ready to kill the Jedi, but he used the Force to knock all of them to the ground, and escaped on a speeder, heading to the far corners of the planet. A commanding officer reported that Mand'alor required a sit-rep, and A'tin removed his forces from the base. They returned to the cruiser they had been stationed on, and reported to Mand'alor. Once he gave the report, he was tasked to return to Mandalore with the rest of their forces, while Mand'alor attended a personal mission. A'tin did as ordered, and took the fleet back to Mandalore. He would be recognized by many as a war hero for rescuing the Mandalorians in the base.

On Mandalore, he went into Taalhir, the local town, and met a soon-to-be new member of his Clan, Kelborn Adenn.

Decline of Clan Ordo

Several months after meeting Kelborn, the Mandalorian forces realized Mand'alor was gone. He hadn't returned, and the blame was casted to A'tin and Clan Ordo since they had been the last to talk to Mand'alor. A'tin was declared dar'manda, and that left Kelborn and Jaster, the only remaining members of the Clan Ordo, to hide from the New Mand'alor, D'kyn Beviin. Together, over the course of three years, The new Mand'alor, D'kyn and his brother, Ky'ram Beviin or Ayjae Bindo(not known at the time), forced all Mandalorians to unite under the name of Mandalorian Commandos. During these three years, the Mand'alor built the Mandalorians' strength and economy, gearing up for another war. D'kyn had been another official in the previous Mandalorian army, and had many followers to ensure noone rebelled. He spread lies of the previous Mand'alor, covering up the banishment of A'tin and the killing of his clan.

A'tin was forced into a life of scrounging and salvaging, left only with a rifle, and an old set of beskar Kelborn managed to get him. with everything else stripped of him, he had no heritage as a Mandalorian. He set out to search for work as a mercenary, ending up traveling the galaxy under the alias Vlet, since his former name had no meaning any longer. So now, Vlet went from planet to planet, hunting many people for various businesses and gangs. After almost three years of this life, he ended up on Nar Shaddaa, taking a contract to hunt a member of the Black Sun.

Vlet hunted this man, infiltrating the Black Sun, and ambushing him with the Exchange. He was soon to be killed by the Black Sun, he knew, and fled Nar Shaddaa. The shuttle he booked passage on left him on Cato Nemoidia, where he again looked for work.
