Description
"In the decade preceding the Clone Wars, this Mandalorian instructor was discreetly summoned to the world of Kamino by Jango Fett to become a member of the Cuy’val Dar (Those Who No Longer Exist). Like the other 100 members of the group, his orders were simple: he was to be put in charge of a large group of clones that were to be trained as Clone Commandos. Accepting his assignment with eagerness, the instructor instilled his squads with not only his combat experience, but also with his own quirks, traits and beliefs (as many other squads adopted from their handlers). Aside from the traditional Mandalorian values, notable values the instructor taught the squads he trained were the values of creativity, innovation and individuality. In addition, he felt that any good soldier should not only know his gear, but also modify it to best work for them. Although he understood, and respected in many ways, the efficiency of the Katarn-class armor that was assigned to the commando units, he constantly urged his squads to modify them inside and out to better suit their needs. As such, his trainees gear was constantly improving, changing and generally breaking the Kaminoians strict rules of conformity (not that any Cuy’val Dar member ever really cared).

It was from his enjoyment of tinkering that the instructor designed his own custom armor. Wanting to capitalize on the Katarn-class armors overall sense of protection and self-efficiency (as it was essentially a mobile, armored camp for the wearer), the instructor combined these ideas with the traditional Mandalorian armor. No doubt commissioned for him by Jango Fett on one of his work-related absences from Kamino (as the Cuy’val Dar were allowed no contact with the outside galaxy), the instructor was greatly pleased with the final result.

As the Clone Wars erupted across the galaxy, the instructor took up a new contract as part of the Special Forces brigade of the Republic Army, a role that allowed him to go into missions with his commando squads against the Separatist threat; pitting his armor against the likes of the droid armies.

After all, a merc needs work too."
