Chuvak Rohayc

"This guy's a real demon when it comes to slicing." "Was that a Devaronian joke?" "Er...yes?" "Ha! Is good joke! And true, too. Point me at computer system and I can slice it, guaranteed. Won't cost you arm or leg, either."

- Doriya Briikan and Chuvak Rohayc

Chuvak Rohayc was a male Devaronian Mandalorian, who lived during the waning years of the Galactic Republic. Born to second generation Devaronian immigrants on the planet Concord Dawn—located in the region of the galaxy known as Mandalorian space—Chuvak had a strict childhood. After the civil war between the True Mandalorians and the Death Watch splinter group spilled over onto Concord Dawn, Chuvak's parents grew increasingly protective of their young son, and refused to allow him to socialize with any of Concord Dawn's local Mandalorian community. However, the forbidden nature of their company only fueled Chuvak's interest, and by the time he came of age, he'd begun regularly sneaking away from home to spend time among his homeworld's armored population in the next town over.

As time went on, Chuvak learned to speak the Mandalorian language, and discovered an interest in slicing computer systems from a wizened old Mando who took him under his wing. Yet interest soon deepened into something more, as Chuvak found himself falling in love with his Mandalorian mentor's daughter. The two soon married, and Chuvak decided to become a Mandalorian, himself. He was adopted into Clan Rohayc, and took up their surname accordingly. Unfortunately, his parents refused to bestow their blessing upon their son's new marriage, and actively rebuked him for his decision to turn his back on his Devaronian heritage, forcing him to choose between one family or another. Chuvak ultimately stood resolute in his decision, going so far as to leave Concord Dawn for Mandalore proper, where he settled down with his wife on the south side of Keldabe, the planet's ancient capital.

The more urbanized Keldabe offered Chuvak new opportunities to ply his trade as a for-hire slicer, and his wife took a job with MandalMotors as a design technician. By the year 24 BBY, Chuvak had become acquainted with the Mandalorian bodyguard Ezgi Deshra, and provided her with a number of useful, pre-made slicer tools to aid her in her own profession.

Behind the scenes
Chuvak Rohayc was created and developed by writer Mia Mesharad, briefly appearing in her 2017 online tour piece, " Welcome to Mandalore ." It wasn't until Mesharad's subsequent story, " The Nar Kreetan Job ," that he received a larger role and was finally identified by name.
