Mandalore the Sagacious

"If a Mandalorian does not fight, he does not breathe! Alliances shall be forged if need be, never will the clans be left without an enemy. Mandalorians are born to fight and conquer, it thrives in our blood and burns in our bones. A true Mandalore will never forget this."

- Mandalore the Sagacious

Aelstron Kelborn was a   warrior of  who lived during the era of the Extant War, and prior to which time had ascended to the foremost position of leadership among the Mandalorian clans as Mandalore, titularly known as Mandalore the Sagacious.

Little was known about the state of the Mandalorians and Mandalorian space prior to the Charon invasion from Otherspace aside from their offense against the Dominion being less successful than that of the Sith Hegemony's. The Mandalorian Clans were the among the first galactic powers to respond to the alliance proposal by Sith King Sycarion IV, which was predicted by Mandalore the Sagacious as being not only the inevitable future pact the war effort would be forced to take, but was also seen by him as the foremost way to attain the most amount of first-hand information of their unknown enemies and their strange abilities, largely through the Sith Hegemony's experiences in battle with them.

Renowned for his wisdom, cunning and ruthless nature, Mandalore the Sagacious was a traditionalist of Mandalorian values and firmly believed that for the Mandalorians to remain united and in-tune with their culture, they had to be in a state of constant warfare and conquest. As a consequence, Mandalore the Sagacious sought to make sure that the Mandalorian clans always had an enemy, thereby preventing the possibility of stagnation or decline in the values and practices of Mandalorian society. A brilliant military leader and strategist, Mandalore the Sagacious was one of the four architects for the Treaty of Korriban, which resulted in them being one of the founding senior political members of the Galactic Emergency Coalition.
