Horatio Theta

"Theta" was the code name given to the new leader of the Death Watch who had revived them in 16 ABY.

Early Life
"Theta" was born on in 24 BBY. For years he listened to the Clan Elders talk of the former days of the Mandalorian Empire. For Theta, it meant a time where his people didn't have to sell themselves out to the highest bidder. He watched as his people would leave to do work that no normal person would dare do. Sometimes they came back changed, sometimes they didn't come back at all. Theta later left Dxun to explore the Galaxy on his own.

Jedi Hunting
While traveling, Theta began to draw up plans to unite the Mandalorian clans in order to take over the Galaxy once again. He began to find numerous scattered clans among the stars, yet none were willing to help him, for he lacked the experience and the money. Discouraged, he refused to give in and perform any form of odd job. It was during this time, that Supreme Chancellor reorganized the Republic into the Empire. This change also saw the removal of the Mandalorian greatest threat, the. The Empire had placed a bounty on all Jedi, offering a large amount of credits for their capture. Theta saw this more as getting the Jedi to pay for the senseless slaughter on his people years ago than as a job.

Theta set out to capture as many Jedi as he could. After awhile, he was personally hired by to continue his hunt, and was paid substantially to continue his hunting. Overtime, he amassed over five million credits. He began to hear rumors of the Imperials using a species called  who had the ability to detect Jedi. There were very few of the species left, but he heard from reliable sources of a couple living with their daughter on the planet of. Because he had a location of a Jedi, he decided to hire a couple of bounty hunters by the names of Siena and Helms to go and capture the girl. With the girl, he would be able to not only hunt Jedi easier, but also perhaps train her to become his apprentice. He was shocked to find out that the job failed. The failure however made him open his eyes, and he began to see that he was becoming what he hated. He paid the remaining bounty hunter and went on his way back to Dxun.

Imperial Funding
One day, in 16 ABY, Theta's clan was approached by members of the Imperial Remnant who came with a proposition; attack the New Republic, and the Remnant would fund them. The Elders disagreed with the proposition and turned the messengers away. Theta, seeing this as a chance for the Mandalorians to return to their former glory, intercepted the messengers before they had a chance to leave, promising them that he would be able to get the Elders to realize the error of their ways. Soon after, Theta asked the Elders to reconsider their actions, promising that this could be a glorious moment for the Mandalorians. The Elders stood their ground, and banished him from the clan. Theta secretly began to convince the younger Mandalorians to join his cause, which in time, allowed him to rebel against the Elders and kill them. And with that, Theta took command of the clan.

Reforming the Death Watch


Theta realized that his clan would be too small to fight against the New Republic. So he began to go around the planet and recruit the other clans to his cause. Overtime, he began to ignore the original ideals of the Mandalorians and began to follow the ideals set by, the former leader of the Death Watch, with his idea of conquering the. Theta first started by battling Clan Abesh, outsmarting them with a minefield, then he was ambushed by Clan Norac, but ultimately came out on top. Clan Tracyn was next, attempting to defeat the Death Watch with a fire attack. Once he had amassed enough troops, he launched a full scale attack on Clan Ordo. With the defeat of Di'kut Ordo, Theta had succeeded in unifying the Dxun clans into the Death Watch. Impressed with Theta's work, Giliad stayed true to his word and began to fund the Death Watch.
