Yondu Udonta is a character from the Marvel Comics series.
== Charactah Account ==
Yondu Udonta is a Centaurian born in a tribe on the primitive planet of Centauri-IV. At a very young age, Yondu presenced the coming of an alien species to his tribe, the Syneca. The Syneca wished to share their technology in exchange for some Yaka ore. Yondu, amazed by the Syneca's crystal spaceships, took an opportunity to steal one so he and his friend Babatuku could go for a short flight. However, Yondu lost control of the ship, crashing into the elders' temple of his tribe, killing Chondu, an important elder of the tribe. Yondu tried to keep the incident a secret, but, as the Syneca demanded for justice, Babatuku revealed Yondu's role in Chondu's death.
Yondu was excommunicated from the tribe before he could learn how to whistle, a well-known ability of the Centaurians which allows them to control the Yaka arrows. As he was cast out from his tribe, he had his crest cut off of his head. For years to come, he kept his crest short through self-mutilation. The bargain between the Centaurians and the Syneca was compromised by the incident, leading the Syneca to leave Centauri-IV. Yondu sneaked into the Syneca main ship only to witness it to be invaded by space pirates. The Syneca were killed by the pirates, on the other hand Yondu's life was spared and he found support alongside the pirates. Considering the Centaurians to be a barbaric and lowly people, he decided to fully abandon his roots and survive by himself in space as a looter.
