Duncan Macleod

"I’m Duncan Macleod, of the Clan Macleod"

- Jensaarai Defender Duncan Macleod

= BIOGRAPHY = Duncan Macleod was a force sensitive bounty hunter. He knows the ways of the force due to his Jensaarai training, and like all the Jensaarai, Duncan could use both light and dark side powers. He was born in Susevfi, the home planet of the Jensaarai order. His training and skills made him a terrific Defender and after that, a great Bounty Hunter.

EARLY LIFE
Duncan was born in Susevfi, the home planet of the Jensaarai Order. Son of ordinary people, his parents soon discovered that the little boy had strange powers. He could move things using the “mind power”. So his parents took him to the Jensaarai Temple, where he begun his training.

JENSAARAI TRAINING
Macleod had begun his trainings at the Jensaarai Temple when he was just four years old. With hard training, he soon became a Learner. He stayed as a Learner until he was seventeen years old. At this age, he became a Defender. The young Defender shows to the other older Defenders that he had great pilot skills. About two years after being granted with the rank of Defender, Duncan became a Ring Defender, with the duty of protect the planet and the community against any space threat.

LEAVING THE ORDER
At the age of twenty two, the Ring Defender Duncan Macleod decided to leave the Order. A lot of problems were occurring into the Jensaarai Order and Macleod could not stay any longer among his fellows. So he left the planet, using his parents starship, the Corellian Light Frighter YT-1930, named as “The Highlander”. Duncan thought about the idea of became a Jedi, but he soon perceived that he didn't want to belong to any other order. He wanted to do something by his own. So he decided to become a Bounty Hunter.

THE GLORY DAYS
"I have the ship, I have the equipment and I have the skills. Why not?"

- Duncan “Snake” Macleod, the Bounty Hunter

Soon after Duncan left the order, he decided to became a Bounty Hunter. He talked to one of his oldest friend, the nousarian Kin Shorg, who was an excellent Co-Pilot, and they start to work together. Duncan the one who did all the “dirty work”, and Kin the one who takes them out of all the troubles. Using Duncan’s starship, “the Highlander”, they did some jobs, and had gained a lot of bounties.

THE SENATOR’S ASSESSOR KIDNAP
Kidnapping the senator’s assessor wasn’t Duncan’s original plan. A powerful crime lord hired him to kidnap the senator of Nar Shaddaa. Her name was Sannya Heeiron. The bounty hunter entered in the senator government building, wondering to find her there. But all that he found was her assessor, Hyaru. He tried to make her contact the senator, but she refused and sent the guards to get Duncan. Macleod, using his formidable skills with the force and with his lightsaber, killed all the guards. After that, Duncan star to search for Hyaru. He found her in the security room. He realizes that he couldn’t kidnap Sannya that time, but he wouldn’t get out of there without anything. So he kidnap Hyaru and run out to Tatooine. Since that Hyaru wasn’t the one who the crime lord wanted, they didn’t bought the girl. Duncan kept the girl at a cage, inside his ship, until he finally sold her to another crime lord.

THE DUEL IN TATOOINE.
"You have two options. A: you give me the girl and I let you go alive, or B: You don’t give me the girl, so I would have steal her, but before I would cut off your legs or arms"

- Edix talking to Duncan, just before the duel

"Well, I prefer the option C: You get the hell out of here with your head above your neck"

- Duncan responding Edix's treat, just before the duel.

"Yippee-Ki-yay Motherfucker!"

- Duncan Macleod, after Edix killed himself.

Before Duncan could sell Hyaru to someone, a strange man called him, saying that he wanted to buy the girl. The man called himself John Duckett. Duncan went to a bar, to meet this buyer. The bounty hunter soon discovered that Duckett didn’t want to buy Hyaru, he wanted to steal her. Macleod couldn’t let that happen, so Duckett defied Duncan to a duel. Outside the bar the fight begun. Soon after the fights began, Duncan realizes that John also was a force user, and someone more skilled than him with the force. But he didn’t surrender. The fight continues, until Duncan use a strange movement, that would trap down Duckett. But by some unknown reason, John killed himself. He used his own lightsaber to cut himself in two. So Duncan took both body parts and went back to his ship. He would soon discover that this John Duckett was an Ex-Jedi Master called Edix Ulmek.

THE NEW SHIP AND THE NEW EQUIPMENT
Just after the battle in Tatooine, Duncan received a call from the Black Serpent, a powerful crime organization in Nar Shaddaa. So Duncan went back to Nar Shaddaa, to trade his bounties with that organization. Hyaru and both parts of Edix Ulmek were sold to them and as a reward they gave Duncan another ship, a Star Gladiator. They also gave him two powerful Krath War Droids and a Triple Rifle. Both Kin and Duncan went to Tatooine, to sell Duncan’s ship “the Highlander”. With the money they get from the old corellian freighter sell, Duncan bought a Jet-Pack, a Neo-Crusader Armor and a lot of types of grenades. The bounty hunter was prepared for anything, with those new equipments. At this time Duncan also start to use the codename “Snake” instead his real name.

PRESENT DAY
Duncan is still working as a bounty hunter. With the help of his Co-Pilot, Kin Shorg and in posses of the “Ultimate Highlander” (Duncan Star Gladiator), they do anything, if it is well paid.

PERSONALITY
Duncan is very sarcastic and ironic. Almost all of his statements carry a funny (or not that funny) word or expressions. This sense of humor combined with his strange expressions resulted in a unique way of speech. Macleod enjoys the battle. He is a warrior, and as a warrior he is always seeking for more skills and power. He really likes to do dangerous things to improve his own abilities.

POWER AND ABILITIES
Duncan is well trained with the lightsaber and with the force. He became an expert in Makashi and Djem-So, lightsaber forms of duel. He know the Rek’dul, the Jensaarai Martial Art, what is very useful in his job. Macleod also knows perfectly how to use ranged weapons, such as pistols and rifles. He is a great pilot too. He can pilot any type of starship. Since he is a sensitive, he let the force guide him when he is piloting. He really likes to do it, either in dangerous situations or if they are just flying casualty. "Get out of the there! I’m going to pilot this shit. You suck as a pilot!"

- Duncan talking to Kin

"Yeah, yeah, I know, but you don’t need to throw it on my face, do you?""

- Kin responding Duncan's affirmation on Ultimate Highlander’s cockpit.
