Mercke Lutso

Mercke Lutso, (pronounced as, "Mer-k Loot-so") was born in 35 BBY to Mandalorian parents. Over the course of his life he has travelled across the Galaxy and been acknowledged by many as one of the most interesting characters one could meet. His exploits are recorded in the book My Name is Mercke Lutso.

History
Mercke was born in 35 BBY to Nerant and Shadalt Lutso, on the planet of Concord Dawn. His birth occurred one year prior to the Battle of Galidraan, the battle in which the Mandalorian numbers were drastically reduced. So, in essence, he never got to see his culture at its fullest.

When Concord Dawn fell to Imperial control just before the Galactic Civil War, Mercke managed to escape from the planet with help from his friend Felome Eta.

En route to Coronet, Felome's shuttle was blasted out of the sky by an Imperial Star Destroyer. Mercke was captured and brought on board an Imperial Space Station in orbit above a desert planet. Again, he managed to escape fom his prison, rocketting himself into the planet Tatooine.

He landed in the middle of the Tatooinian Dune Sea. After much wandering, Mercke stumbled across Tatooine's key spaceport, Mos Eisley. There he found work as a low-time bounty hunter. He was also trained to be a starpilot under a certain smuggler.

Soon he became acquainted with a young man named Fushus Icounited. Fushus told Mercke that he had found a Mandalorian cult on Endor. Overly excited, Mercke went to Endor, disregarding Fushus' warning.

Upon reaching Endor, Mercke was brutally assaulted by the Death Watch and left for dead. Fushus, who had followed, rescued Mercke and took him to the Endor Outpost MedFacility, where he was given a cybernetic arm.

Mercke then met Fushus' friend, Linzad. Together, they created a guild, establishing a small Mandalorian remnant army.

Later, Linzad was murdered by the Death Watch leader. Enraged, Mercke went to Endor again and assasinated the Death Watch leader in the cover of night. He then took the man's Mandalorian armor and made it his own.

Further accounts are recorded in My Name is Mercke Lutso.

Appearance
Lutso usually wore a partial suit of Mandalorian armor which was adorned with his family insignia. He carried a DL-44 pistol and Vibro-sword with him at all times, although he was also known to favor a sniper rifle and carbine. His gauntlets, leggings, and boots were of custom design.

Unhelmeted, Mercke sported a semi-long haircut of a strange reddish-brown color. He had bright turqoise eyes and light skin.
