Altair Jiriad

Altair 'Tracyn' Jiriad was a Mandalorian commando who fought against the Yuuzhan Vong alongside Boba Fett and his fellow Mandalorians.

He had been a armorsmith on Mandalore, before the Mand'alor called all citizens able to fight for the defense of Mandalore. During the Battle of Mandalore, he fought bravely to defend the Mandalore Sector from the extragalactic invaders and earned himself the honor of fighting alongside the Mandalore Boba Fett and his Mandalorian Protectors in the Liberations of Ord Mantell, Caluula and Tholatin, as well as others.

Jiriad was also able to infiltrate a Yuuzhan Vong base on an unnamed planet in the Outer Rim, gather vital intelligence on it and then escape, all on his own, thus making it easy for the Mandalorian Protectors to liberate the planet.

Jiriad was still with the Mandalorians during the Second Corellian Insurrection.

Behind the scenes

 * His name is from altair (Arabic for "eagle") and jiriad (Mando'a for "chalky/ashen-faced"). Correct writing would be Altaïr Jiriad, because the "i" is spoken (pronounced: Ahl-tie-ear Gee-REE-ad).
