Teroch was a male Mandalorian , born on the planet Mandalore — the Mandalorians ' cultural homeworld , located in region of the galaxy known as the Outer Rim Territories — in the years prior to the Great Clan Wars . A member of Clan Awaud , Teroch trained in combat from childhood , before undergoing his " verd ' goten " — the traditional Mandalorian rite of passage that marked the transition into adulthood — at the age of thirteen , after which he became a recognized adult in Mandalorian society . In time , Teroch elected to use his skills as a soldier to earn a living as a mercenary , and he became friends with the chieftain of Clan Awaud , Nam Beroya . When tensions on Mandalore between the pacifistic New Mandalorian sect and the radical Death Watch were on the rise , Chieftain Beroya decided to avoid the ideological schism and take his clan offworld ; Teroch followed , moving around the galaxy as the Mandalorian ' s nomadic ancestors had . During the Clone Wars , a pan - galactic struggle between the Galactic Republic and the separatist Confederacy of Independent Systems , Teroch and several other mercenaries from Clan Awaud worked security for the Confederacy , and later took jobs that were offered by the Hutts . After the end of the war , and after years of living on the move , Teroch and his clan felt the need to finally settle down and establish a permanent home for themselves . They traveled to the planet Vlemoth Port in the Outer Rim ' s Instrop sector , and in the forested northern foothills , founded a Mandalorian settlement they called Arumorut . From Arumorut , Teroch and his peers contracted mercenary and bounty hunter work throughout the regions of surrounding space , along the Slice and the Western Reaches . Teroch found himself pitted against the forces of the Galactic Empire multiple times over the next two decades , killing a large number of the Empire ' s stormtroopers while battling Imperial patrols for clients . He also took part in Arumorut ' s defense of an allied Talz village nearby , after it came under attack by Zygerrian slavers . The Mandalorians were ultimately successful in driving the Zygerrians from Vlemoth Port , but not before they managed to capture dozens of Talz from the Gnaaz tribe and Nam Beroya , who had been wounded in battle . With Beroya believed dead by the members of Clan Awaud , his adopted daughter Vera succeeded him as chieftain , with Teroch ' s full support . As he grew older , Teroch eventually became a " gogi " , an aged veteran who served as an instructor for younger Mandalorian scouts . By the time of the Galactic Civil War , Teroch could be found on occasion at the Sheb Niktose cantina , located near the mountain lake that sat close to Arumorut . It was at the Sheb Niktose that Teroch met a group of operatives from the Alliance to Restore the Republic , who had come to Arumorut in the hopes of recruiting the resident mercenaries in a battle against the Galactic Empire . Though Teroch had been in the midst of a mug of " ne ' tra gal " with another Mandalorian , when he caught sight of the newcomers he was quick to invite them over to the bar to talk , spending nearly an hour with the rebel operatives , discussing the history of the clan while doing several shots of " tihaar " together . He was later present at the home of Chieftain Vera Beroya when the rebels came to negotiate for her assistance , and conferred with Beroya on the logistics of the mission they were presented with . Personality and traits . Teroch was a Human male with a tall , muscular frame and a dark brown complexion . He had brown eyes and black hair , with a thick beard that had grayed with age , and a number of scars . Teroch cared little for politics — whether they involved the localized disputes between Death Watch and the New Mandalorians , or more large - scale matters like the Galactic Empire ' s activities — preferring a more simple existence as an apolitical mercenary . Possessed of a friendly demeanor , Teroch liked to talk with others , and he enjoyed drinking " ne ' tra gal " or " tihaar " when he wasn ' t working . A traditional Mandalorian , Teroch was an adherent of the " Resol ' nare " , the six tenets of Mandalorian culture . He spoke the Mandalorian language of " Mando ' a " , in addition to Galactic Basic Standard , and wore a suit of personally - owned Mandalorian armor . Teroch cared for the members of Clan Awaud , as well as its chieftains , and as a " gogi " , the veteran warrior passed along his knowledge to younger Mandalorian soldiers under his tutelage . Teroch was a skilled pilot , and at one point in time , flew a Fang fighter in combat . Behind the scenes .
