Early years (51-34 BBY)
Lucas McCoy was born in 51 BBY to Nytalia and [Darin McCoy]. His grandfather, Garaint McCoy, was close friends with Journeyman Protector Jaster Mereel and Shogun's [Tannis Naast]. At the time of the Mandalorian Civil War, Lucas' grandfather was murdered by Vizsla during a meeting in which Garaint and Jaster were deciding which of the two men should take up the title of Mandalore.

Darin McCoy took his wife and newborn son along with Jaster Mereel's True Mandalorians, and after Jaster's death immediately the title of Mand'alor was taken up by Jaster's heir, Jango Fett. Training under his father and Jango, Lucas was quick to learn all manner of combat and especially enjoyed hearing the tales and songs of ancient warriors and long ago battles.

When Jango Fett came to Darin McCoy to gather a crew for a job on Galidraan, Nytalia begged him not to go. Their second son, Myles, had been born just weeks before and she, having not been born a Mandalorian, wanted Darin to stay home with his family. It is against the resol'nare, however, to not answer the call of the Mandalore. Darin McCoy accompanied Jango Fett and was killed in the Jedi raid led by Master Dooku, later refered to as the legendary Battle of Galidraan.

Escape to the Outer Rim (34-22 BBY)
"When we die, we just die. There's no afterlife for warriors like us. We just do our job well, and when we die, it will be with pride and honor. Men like us are not likely to be forgotten. There may not be anything beyond death, but we can live on in legend. Be great my son, be remembered."

- Darin McCoy in his final transmission to his son.

After his father's death, and the imprisonment of Mandalore Jango Fett, Lucas' family fled to Mos Eisley on Tatooine and the rest of the clans scattered throughout the galaxy. His mother, Nytalia, got a job at Chalmun's Cantina (also known as the Mos Eisley Cantina). Lucas spent his days cleaning and servicing speeder engines in the alley behind the cantina with the wookie owner Chalmun's nephew, Beastacca. While his mother was at work, Lucas and "Beast" watched out for Myles. One day in the alley a swooper saw the teenage wookie and tried to abduct him. Fearing for his friend's life, Lucas pulled his fathers old pistol out of its hiding place in the family's apartment and killed the swooper with one shot to the chest. It was that day that Beastacca pledged his life debt to Lucas McCoy.

When he was old enough, Lucas got a job in the cantina itself serving drinks to the local scum. It was there that he met Ackmena's (the night time bartender) niece, Ella. The two spent their free time together until Lucas was introduced to the mercenary called Cobrax. It was with Cobrax that Lucas, against his mother's wishes, got his first taste of the criminal underworld and was nicknamed "The Real McCoy" by the crew of Cobrax's vessel. He and Beast left Mos Eisley and traveled with Cobrax's crew for many years until the beginning of the Clone Wars.



The Real McCoy (22-10 BBY)
As the Clone Wars began, word of Jango Fett's escape from prison and vengeance on Vizsla and also of Jango's death on Geonosis began to reach the galaxy. The Kaminoans had cloned an entire army from Jango Fett for the Republic, giving the first, named Boba, to Jango as a son. As the Jedi Order fell at the end of the Clone Wars, Lucas became reinvigorated with his Mandalorian heritage and was determined to help his vode in hunting down the last of the Jedi. On one such hunt he came across a group of slavers being ripped limb from limb by a young Trandoshan. Lucas learned it's name was Crevossk just as he caught sight of his Jedi mark. During the skirmish that ensued, Crevossk attacked the Jedi and had both of his arms severed, giving McCoy the distraction needed to make a killing blow. Helping the Trandoshan to his feet, McCoy offered to give him passage off the planet. It was in transit when Crev's arms began to regenerate that McCoy decided having an ally that could regrow appendages could be quite useful. Crev agreed and returned with Lucas to Tatooine.

With the formation of the Galactic Empire, Lucas began to take contracts from the Imperial garrison stationed in Mos Eisley along with bodyguard work for the Lady China and her criminal underworld. Though he didn't agree with the Empire's rule, the money was good and the jobs were steady. It was during the beginning of the first Galactic Civil War that Lucas met an Imperial Zabrak officer by the name of Vix Acworth. Though his ties to the Empire were extensive, Vix was invited to a meeting between Lucas and his allies Crevossk and Beastacca. After much deliberation the four decided to form a guild and begin building a city outside of the Imperial capitol of Bestine on Tatooine. They would call themselves The Roughneck Brotherhood.

The Roughnecks (10-0 BBY)
The newly formed Roughneck Brotherhood relocated to their new home and dubbed it Beleg Tessa. There the four warriors, along with Neel Darklight, Omest Odegla, and Fiahow Imai, began monitoring Rebel activities coming from Anchorhead. As encounters with the Rebellion increased on Tatooine, a splinter guild was created for the defense of the city itself called the Roughneck Warriors. Shortly thereafter, the Warriors relocated off planet and the Brotherhood was dismantled. Having been betrayed by the Empire, Lucas took his adopted daughter Nyta Itepi-McCoy, a young Twi'lek girl whom he had rescued from Tusken Raiders in the Tatooine wastes, and those Roughnecks still loyal to him to Dantooine and began working for the Rebellion under the name Roughneck Mercenaries. While with the Roughneck Mercenaries, McCoy allegedly worked with rebel spy Kyle Katarn in the capture of Moff Rebus on Anoat.

On one of his first missions for the Rebel Alliance, not long after the Battle of Yavin, Lucas encountered a fellow Mandalorian that, to his surprise, called himself Jaster Mereel II. Apparently the son of the original Jaster Mereel and Jango Fett's sister Arla. Having not seen another true Mandalorian in decades, the two became close friends and began working together as bounty hunters. Jaster served as best man when Lucas was married on Dantooine to Braeden McCoy. The two soon after had a son, Taylor. Lucas gave the boy the nickname "Cobrax", after his old mentor. An Imperial special forces strike team lead by Soul Tilak and the jedi Craysom Kerzeck later hired Mereel and McCoy. The four, along with Pines and Oakek (two Imperial shock troops) invaded a rebel headquarters on the planet Talus and held the base for three hours while defending against the onslaught of rebel forces trying to take it back. In the end the team (then called "Ghost Legion") was victorious and left the smoldering rebel base with zero casualties. Lucas and Jaster left the team shortly after, embarking on a quest to locate scattered Mandalorians throughout the galaxy.

The death of Lucas McCoy (0 ABY)
Fresh from a promotion due to the events on Talus, Soul Tilak approached Lucas and Jaster with the job of a lifetime. Soul introduce the two to a Mandalorian named Gaidden Leveth, who informed them that the newly formed Death Watch had set up a bunker on Endor. The three Mandalorians were to escort a strike team (consisting of all the former "Ghost Legion" members) through the bunker and assassinate the Overlord. Soul's plan, however, was to destroy the mines containing the priceless Mandalorian Iron and the crew within it after retrieving enough to study for the Empire. As the Mandalorians collected their mark, the mines began to collapse. The only two people to make it out of the bunker alive were Craysom and Jaster. McCoy was just a few short meters from escape when he was crushed under the weight of the mine ceiling, with only his right hand intact at the edge of the rubble. Jaster returned to Dantooine with the hand to inform Myles and the rest of the Roughneck Mercenaries that Lucas McCoy was dead.

Back from the dead
"Some people say, in the moments before you die, you see your whole life flash before you. Others say you see a white light. Others yet, say that time slows down to a crawl. Thankfully, none of that is true."

- Lucas McCoy recounts his own death.

Two years passed. During which time a man by the name of [Dose Ordo], descendant of Canderous Ordo himself, began to rouse the Mandalorian clans in the galaxy. Joining with Jaster Mereel II and others, he assumed the title of Mandalore and issued orders that Lucas McCoy be cloned from the hand still in Jaster's possession. Dose tracked a rogue Kaminoan to Kaadara on Naboo. There the cloned Lucas was incubated with the original hand until he awoke prematurely. Just as certain clones during the Clone Wars were discovered to spontaneously discover the memories of their original template. In other words, the clone did not awake from the tube, but Lucas McCoy himself, all past memories intact. McCoy smashed his way out of the cloner tube and after being informed of his wife's murder by Imperial troops, he was taken by Jaster to see Dose Ordo on the planet Lok.



General of Mandalore the Bold
The Mandalorians were ready for him. His family and friends were all waiting for him when he arrived in the Mandalorian outpost on Lok, called Ashes of Malachor. The city was named by one of Dose's generals, Tannis Naast, who's ancestors died on Malachor V. It was in an underground bunker in Ashes of Malachor that Dose Ordo gave Lucas McCoy his legendary green Mandalorian armor. He was promoted to Ori'vod (general) soon after and and the two worked together to gather all the scattered Mando'ade and begin their new crusade. Lucas and the newly formed Mandalorian Brotherhood ordained Dose, their leader, "Mandalore the Bold". Under his rule they warred not only the Galactic Empire, but the likes of Nym, HK-47, Durge, IG-88's droid army, Axkva Min and her nighsisters, the rogue Blackguard Star Destroyer, the Tusken King, and even the ghost of Sith Lord Exar Kun. Their crusade spanned across the entire galaxy, ending in a climactic battle at Theed Palace.

After the Mandalorians burned Theed to the ground, General McCoy returned to Ashes of Malachor where he, his daughter Nyta, his son Taylor, his friends Beastacca and Crevossk and his brother Myles lived and operated the city's cantina. He visited the cantina in Mos Eisley to find Ella. Having heard of his death, her look of terror and amazement melted into joyous tears as she embraced him. The two were married some time later.



Shifting sands of Lok
"If I am the father of Mando, Lucas is undoubtedly its mother."

- Mandalore Dose Ordo in an address to his clan, about his general.

Shortly before the Battle of Hoth, the Empire finally caught up with the Mandalorian Brotherhood in Ashes of Malachor. Though they fought long and hard, the clan suffered heavy casualties and eventually withdrew from the ruins of their once great city to find a new home. With the Empire closing in on them, many in Mandalore Ordo's clan joined the Rebel Alliance. As their first mission as part of the Alliance, General McCoy and Mandalore Ordo took a squad of Mandalorians in to assist in the evacuation of Echo Base. In appreciation for the assistance on Hoth, the Rebellion helped supply Lucas with enough credits to purchase a small city near one of their outposts on Lok. When the rest of the Brotherhood arrived, they dubbed the outpost Ordo Keldab, "stronghold" in Mando'a. Once Dose Ordo's and Fenn Shysa's Mandalorian clans were teamed with the Rebel Alliance, the Rebels set out on the offensive against rumors of a new Imperial weapon.

Sacrifice to defeat the Empire
From their outpost on Lok, the Mandalorians spent years gathering their clans, all the while fighting war after war throughout the galaxy. Darth Vader himself even sent his deadliest of agents, the dark jedi Rokos Tepes and his army, and Ordo's Brotherhood obliterated them. In their final mission for the Rebel Alliance, the Mandalorians were approached by an emissary to Mon Mothma. It was about this time that they learned of Boba Fett's apparent death on Tatooine after a group of rebels, lead by Luke Skywalker, freed Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt. Their mission was to infiltrate the construction site of a second Death Star orbiting the moon of Endor and disable it using information supplied by a previous sabotage attempt by Kyle Katarn's SpecForce squad. The Battle of Endor turned out to be a trap by the Emperor to lure the Rebels into an onslaught. There on the Death Star II, Mandalore Dose Ordo gave his life to bring down the core's defense shield around the hypermatter reactor, allowing Wedge Antilles and Lando Calrissian to destroy it. The rest of the Mandalorian party escaped and rallied with Fenn Shysa and his clan on Mandalore, where they helped to free the planet from Imperial control. When news of Dose Ordo's death spread, there was no longer any question who the one true leader of the Mandalorian clans was, therefore Fenn Shysa assumed the title of Mand'alor and called the clans to Mandalore.

The Yuuzhan Vong (25-29 ABY)
When Boba Fett was apointed Mandalore upon Fenn Shysa's death, and set up once more the capitol of Keldabe on Mandalore, Lucas remained in the outpost on Lok that he had helped found with Dose Ordo. Not many details are known surrounding the events that took place on Lok during the war, but what is confirmed is that Lucas McCoy, along with fellow Ori'vode Tannis Naast, Llege Onaro, and others lost their lives in the defense of Ordo Keldab. The Vong were defeated on Lok, however, thanks to the next generation of Mandalorians that the men had helped raise and train. The survivors left the planet to heed the call of Mand'alor Boba Fett on Mandalore after the war with the Vong ended.

Physical appearance and personality traits
Lucas McCoy wears the traditional armor of a Mandalorian protector. Underneath the armor, his cloned body is strong but incomplete. In several places the skin itself had not finished forming and because of it he is devoid of any pigment and appears cracked all over his body. All of his internal organs, however, are completely functional. Essentially the mind of an experienced and aged Mandalorian warrior in the body of a man half his age. While McCoy considers himself an abomination, he uses every moment of his second life as a means to educate and train the next generation of Mandalorians. To them he is stern but unquestionably loyal and protective, often using his gruff demeanor as a way of making young vode'ika figure things out for themselves.

"The consummate warrior. A fierce competitor and a brilliant tactician. If you are in a group where the odds are against you there is nobody better to lead it to victory."

- J'mann Seelo, Mandalorian warrior and musician, on Lucas McCoy.

McCoy posses an extreme hatred for anything to do with the Jedi. During Order 66 it was rumored that he and the young Boba Fett were the only man alive to have killed as many Jedi as Darth Vader and the Empire itself.

Armor/clothing
McCoy's armor, like the man that wears it, has cracked and faded under the suns of hundreds of planets during his travels. He is rarely ever seen without his armor, only to those closest to him. His armor's green plates, given to him as a gift by fallen Mandalore Dose Ordo, are now dulled and weathered. He wears a black jumpsuit and a has stated on several occasions that he hates jetpacks and is an advocate that no Mandalorian should wear them in combat.



Weapons
Aside from the many hidden armaments within his beskar'gam, McCoy carries two main blaster weapons. A BlasTech Industries compact E-13 Assault Rifle, which is a non-detectable long range rifle capable of penetrating not only armor and metal but often several layers of dirt and rock. As a sidearm McCoy carries a Nomad Arms P-53 Hydra pistol as it is a favorite antique weapon among Mandalorian mercenaries. His gauntlets house a cortosis-edged vibroblade, grappling lanyard, poison darts, wrist laser, and data keypad to access his ship's computer from the ground.

Starship
McCoy's ship of choice is a Blacksun AEG-77 Vigo that belonged to his grandfather. He has renovated it from the Mandalorian Civil War days from a dungeon gunship to an armed fortress and renamed it the "Legendary I".
