Jerec/Legends

Jerec was a Human male Mandalorian, and a member of the peaceful New Mandalorian faction for which he served as a Deputy Minister in their government. A friend of the New Mandalorian's leader, Duchess Satine Kryze, Jerec supported her methods for dealing with the resurgent Mandalorian radicals known as the Death Watch. It would be the Death Watch who was responsible for Jerec's death, when he fell victim to a bombing perpetrated by the Death Watch while on Kalevala. A holorecording of a speech that he made supporting Duchess Kryze was altered by an individual within the Galactic Republic's government, and the faked testimonial was shown to the Galactic Senate with the intent of manipulating the Senate to vote on sending Republic troops to occupy Mandalore. The true recording, in which Jerec reveals that Republic assistance would only throw public support to Death Watch, was eventually uncovered by an agent of the Republic's Republic Ministry of Intelligence and broadcast before the Senate. Upon seeing the truth, the senators rescinded their votes in favor of Republic occupation of Mandalore, allowing the Mandalorian homeworld to remain neutral in the Clone Wars.
==History==
A male Human Mandalorian, Jerec was a member of the pacifist Mandalorian faction who called themselves the "New Mandalorians." During the course of his life, Jerec became close friends with the New Mandalorians' leader, Duchess Satine Kryze of the planet Kalevala. While the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the New Mandalorians were presented a problem of their own: the return of the radical Mandalorian splinter group known as the Death Watch, fractured and thought destroyed years prior by Mand'alor Jango Fett.Star Wars: Jango Fett: Open SeasonsOrder 66: A Republic Commando Novel When the Republic found the Death Watch forces to be a significant threat, the Galactic Senate began to draft a resolution to safeguard Mandalore's standings with the Republic by sending a contingent of clone troopers to the Outer Rim world.
While Jerec's good friend, Duchess Kryze, traveled from Mandalore to the galactic capital world of Coruscant to argue in opposition to the proposed occupation, Jerec journeyed to Kalevala, a nearby New Mandalorian stronghold world also in the Mandalore system.The Essential Atlas It was on Kalevala that Jerec was killed—falling victim to a bombing orchestrated by the Death Watch—but not before he could transmit a recorded testimony to the Republic Senate in which he continued to support Kryze and her position against Republic intervention in the Mandalorian affair. However, the recording was intercepted and altered by another party, who then delivered the doctored testimony to the Senate Chamber for presentation to the assembled senators. His words twisted, Jerec appeared to turn on his long time friend and pleaded with the Senate for Republic aid, and the Senate passed the defense resolution for Mandalore. The truth would come to light thanks to Republic Republic Ministry of Intelligence employee Davu Golec, who acquired the original recording and passed it along to Duchess Kryze. When Jerec's true testimonial was played before the Senate, the government body's opinion was swayed and the occupation of the Mandalorian homeworld was voted down, allowing Mandalore to retain the neutrality Jerec and Kryze had sought.
==Personality and traits==
Jerec was a close friend of the New Mandalorian leader, Duchess Satine Kryze, and a supporter of her goals for a neutral Mandalore. As the threat of the Death Watch returned, their violence turned against the peaceful New Mandalorian society, Jerec spoke out against the Republic getting involved, knowing that any intervention by Republic forces could cast the Death Watch in a more favorable light. He instead put his faith in Kryze's own methods, and urged the Republic to do the same. Considered an honorable man by those who knew him, Jerec was thought to exemplify the Mandalorian tradition of leaders being forthcoming with the greater Mandalorian people.Legacy of the Force: Sacrifice
