BIOGRAPHY
[fancybox4="http://i66.tinypic.com/v6j4ly.jpg"][/fancybox4][fancybox4="http://i66.tinypic.com/v6j4ly.jpg"]Birth and Adolescence
Kael's story begins on Mandalore in his Clans "Palace". It was more a house that was centered in a military installation. There he was born to the head of the Clan Rodarch, Jael and Rebka. He was the second oldest after his brother Makkal Rodarch. During his adolescence he was constantly drilled with the propaganda of the Mandalorian mindset. Learning how to shoot and basic hand to hand combat. He trained with other children within the clan that followed his father. He would watch when his father and other clan mates would leave to go and fight. He was left with his mother to oversee his training or if she left then one of the older members of the clan would tend to those duties.As he got older the training intensified and he was soon learning more about war. He would be sent on hunting parties with other children and would have to take down easy prey. If he did not kill anything then he did not eat. He learned more about blasters, how to take them down and clean and repair them. He learned how to use the firearm in a actual combat situation. He would be sent down training lanes and tasked with a team to enter and secure a building.
There were classroom like settings outside where his father would talk to the children of the clan. He would tell them that to a Mandalorian, nothing is greater than victory over a strong opponent. The second thing a Mandalorian has is his Clan, and that without it a Mandalorian is nothing and without the Mandalorians the clan is nothing. The propaganda was drilled deep into his mind.
Teenage years:
When he reached the age of fourteen he and his fellow clan members were assigned squads. He was a member of alpha squad under the command of his brother who was now sixteen. The Mandalorian children who proved themselves by the time they reached sixteen would lead the squads to show how capable they were in a command role. The squads would live together in the barracks and would train together like active duty soldiers. If one made a mistake they all suffered. Here they learned more and camaraderie and duty. How a squamate can be a great asset in a battle situation.During training the squads would compete against each other and they would do mock battles against each other to see how much they have learned. Using stun blasters the squads would compete and they would be tasked with situations like demolition and rescue as well as elimination of enemies. Kael didn't really get to spend much time leading until one day his brother was eliminated during a training mission and he took the lead role and led his squamates. The team lost but his brother was impressed by his initiative and named him his second in command.
The focus on hand to hand combat as well as melee weapons increased as well. With using training weapons against each other in one on one competitions. Here Kael excelled at fighting enemy combatants and defeating them. He would be trained with swords and polearms. The clan would meet during the week and watch the new Mandalorians fight and place bets on them.
After many years training and after his brother completed the trials Kael was appointed squad leader of Alpha even though he did not wish it. He knew as the second born son he would never be leader of the Clan as his brother was the ideal Mandalorian leader. Brave, calm and ruthless in combat. He was akin more to combat and taking the enemy head on. During his time as squad leader he managed to lead his men and women to victory although they did suffer a few losses. As he neared the end of the year he and several of his clan mates would be ready to undergo the right of passage. Three Mandalorians would go into the wild and would have to find and tame their own Aharl Panther. The panther is a symbol of clan Rodarch and many of the men and women have tamed and mastered their beasts.
Kael went into the jungle with the others and they started to hunt. Typically the panthers would hunt in packs of at least four. This meant that to tame them they would have to kill at least one. They crawled through the dense trees, the search took a great deal of time causing them to sit back and hunt or forage for food. After three or four weeks, Kael wasn't sure entirely they came across a pack of Asharl panthers. The four magnificent beasts were perched on a cliffside overseeing a herd of shatual that were drinking from a stream. One of the mandalorians suggested to sneak around the back and take them by surprise. Kael offered another suggestion. Take down one of the shatual and let it sit weak and near death so the panthers would attack it knowing its easy prey and would not get hurt. After that they could kill one and attempt to tame the others.
After agreeing to Kael's plan the three readied themselves. As the sun set then herd started to make a move forward and the panthers started to stalk. Kael and team moved further down the cliff and awaited the largest buck they could find. One of the squad mates set a trap for the animal. The trap sprang as one of the animals was caught. Kael ran out from his cover of the trees with war paint on his face and drew a sword. He swung the blade and clipped the animals hind leg and rendered it useless. He then drew his knife and stuck it into the animal near the lungs but avoided. This would cause the creature to lose strength but not bleed out or drown in its own blood. Kael retrieved the trap and retreated into the trees, and the three Mandalorians would sit and wait.
After twenty minutes time the four panthers approached. The largest of the four neared the creature and circled it. A large male Asharl Panther with eerie yellow eyes, the animal was different from the other animals in that it had a darker coat, almost a blueish grey with black spots while the others had brown spots and a yellowish fur. Kael motioned to the others to take a flanking position and they readied their ropes. "We move in, with ropes and tie off three of them, after that we kill the last and then proceed to tame the beast." he said to himself. The three made their move. The Asharl panthers startled made their move as well. The three smaller beasts moved toward the children all at once. Kael readied his rope to snag the beast that neared him, thinking it would be easier to tame the smaller beast than the monster that watched. He threw the rope hoping it would grab a hold of the beasts neck but the panther caught it with its mouth. It yanked it causing Kael to hit the ground. In a panic he drew his knife and thrust it at the beast. It caught the panther in the foreleg and it let out a whimper.
The other Mandalorians had secured their beast and Kael struggled with his. He kicked the animal sending it off to secure a higher ground. Kael looked to the others and they made their move to kill the large one. As the three moved the large dark Asharl panther lunged toward the smallest of the three. It grasped his head in its mouth and removed the threat. The other free animal came from behind and pounced on the other. Kael scared watched as he was the last one alive. The large Asharl panther moved closer to him. It let out a roar he would never forget, Keal drew his sword and took a ready stance. The large one lunged at him with his claw and struck him across his eye. Kael eventually killed the others and was left with the monster.
Kael ended up wounding it and then tamed the creature. Upon his return with the giant beast he was welcomed a hero and the clan feasted in memory of the fallen. Kael named his Asharl Panther Cabur, meaning Guardian.
Adult life
Kael, now in his twenties has gone on many missions. His clan was onboard a ship and was contracted by a planetary government to take down some pirates that had been infesting their space. As they arrived the clan had learned that the pirates were being funded by the Sith. Kael and his family made contact with the sith and they fought him. Unfortunately the Sith killed his father and brother. Kael made it away with his life but watched as his clan was dissipated. He made it off the planet not knowing if anyone lived.Kael lived his life as a bounty hunter and gun for hire with his pet Asharl, Cabur. The two took on small jobs as protecting important persons on planets. Hunting smugglers who didn't pay their debts to the Hutts as well as searching for important droids. His life was one on the move. He obtained a ship and droid from an unlucky human trader who just so happened to make a smug remark about the Clan of Rodarch. He named his new ship Vengeance and set out in the universe in the hopes of restoring his clan.
During his journey he happened to come across a man a few years younger than himself who grew up within the clan. His name was Lon Thano. Lon remembered the mark of Clan Rodarch as well as the beasts that accompanied them. He never got to train his own beast and explained that his clan was worse off more than he had realized. They had been hunted down and killed one by one. By bounty hunters and Sith for some unknown reason.
Kael and his new crew of Lon, Cabur and a astromech droid left Tatooine in search of greater things.
