A Human male , Edric Ordo was a Mandalorian warrior from the Ordo clan . A year older than his clan mate and cousin , Canderous Ordo , Edric and Canderous became longtime friends . However , their close ties were severed following the end of the Mandalorian Wars and the death of Clan Ordo ' s chieftain , Tegris Ordo , and the two drifted apart as Clan Ordo grew divided and scattered . By the year 3954 BBY , Edric had joined a more cohesive gathering of Clan Ordo as part of the Mandalorians ' search for the lost mask of Mandalore . The armored helmet had been taken by the Jedi Knight Revan following his defeat of the Mandalorian leader , Mandalore the Ultimate , at Malachor V six years earlier , and hidden by Revan so that the Mandalorians would be unable to choose a new Mandalore . Edric and the clans searched world after world along the estimated trajectory of Revan ' s departure from Malachor V , until finally they came to the planet Rekkiad in the galaxy ' s Outer Rim . Edric and Clan Ordo established a base camp on the snow - covered world and , led by clan chief Veela Ordo , began to search their surrounding territory for the mask . Acting as a sentry for the encampment , Edric was reunited with his old friend Canderous when the former Mandalorian mercenary arrived on Rekkiad with an undercover Revan to seek the Mandalore ' s Mask . He warmly greeted Canderous , and rushed both Canderous and Revan into a large supply building to get the two out of Rekkiad ' s cold weather . Inside , Edric joined several other Mandalorians in welcoming Canderous back to his clan until the arrival of Veela Ordo , Canderous ' estranged wife . When she angrily accused Canderous of abandoning both her and his clan , it was Edric who came to his friend ' s defense by proposing " cin vhetin " , a Mandalorian tradition of forgiving an individual ' s past and offering them a clean slate ; Veela agreed , and Canderous was allowed to remain with Clan Ordo . That night , Edric and numerous other members of the Ordo clan drank and celebrated the return of Canderous . The early hours of the following morning , Canderous and Revan spoke before a gathering of clan members , Edric among them , asking that Clan Ordo ' s camp be moved . Edric was resistant to talk of a relocation , stating that their current site was shielded from both the weather and any potential attack , though he relented when Revan explained that he knew where Mandalore ' s Mask had been hidden . Careful not to expose his true identity to the Mandalorians , Revan described the mask ' s location from a fragmented memory , which Edric recognized as the Twin Spears mountain . Satisfied that the potential benefits of finding the mask outweighed the hastle of moving the camp , Veela agreed to relocate . Once the encampment had been deconstructed and packed away for transit , Edric led a team of six scouts ahead of the clan to search for the best path ; at nightfall , it was Edric ' s team who discovered a small ice valley suitable for Clan Ordo to spend the night . That evening , Edric again made an effort to catch up with Canderous , and include his old friend in the clan ' s festivities . Having moved into the territory occupied by the rival Clan Jendri , Clan Ordo came under attack early the next morning , but managed to repel the assault with the help of Revan and their six Basilisk war droid s . When the Ordo clan reached the base of the Twin Spears , Edric was left in charge of watching over the camp while Veela led a team comprised of Canderous , Revan , the Basilisk pilot Grizzer , and four others up to the summit of the mountain . There , they found Mandalore ' s Mask , but Veela had determined Revan ' s identity during the earlier battle with Clan Jendri and turned on him , ordering her clan mates to attack the Jedi . Canderous defended his friend against the other Mandalorians ' betrayal , and in the resulting firefight , Veela and the others were killed . Canderous claimed the mask of Mandalore , taking the title of Mandalore the Preserver , before returning to Edric and the rest of Clan Ordo . Personality and traits .
