Kalo Shad'in

Kalo Shad'in was a Mandalorian Human male mercenary and later clan chieftain that was primarily active during and after the Imperial Period. His combat career started in the early Imperial era as a mercenary in the Black Sun, during which time he ended up in a company commanded by another Mandalorian named Naastau. Eventually, when Naastau decided to end his time with the Black Sun and decided to return to Mandalore, Kalo joined him in their mission home. Back on Mandalore, the two discovered that Mandalore was in the heat of an Imperial occupation, prompting them to join a local insurgency led by Fenn Shysa, during which time they participated in guerrilla raids on convoys and slave camps. Eventually, Naastau left to become a pirate, while Kalo remained on Mandalore to raise a warrior clan of his own, which he named after the extinct clan he descended from: Clan Shad'in. The clan relocated to Concord Dawn over the course of the Rebellion era, during which time the clan established a remote settlement and spent their isolation raiding Imperial patrols as they passed by. When Naastau returned to Mandalore in 4 ABY, he and a few other renowned Mandalorian warriors traveled to Concord Dawn where Kalo joined them in the reformation of a centuries-old Mandalorian military order known as the Aka'liit. Kalo's settlement became their headquarters as they fought against any Imperial holdouts throughout the Mandalore sector as well as any Mandalorian group that assisted them. Naastau retired sometime after Thrawn's campaign in 9 ABY, though Kalo continued to operate Clan Shad'in as a now renowned chieftain.
