== Biography ==
"Sometimes, doing the right thing isn't always the right thing according to your family." - Ashlé to EdwiinComing from a very wealthy background, with his parents owning an expensive company known as Jadlo Pharmaceuticals that helped him meet his future fiancée, Ashlé Mayson, Edwiin had all the credits he could ever need. His father, Henri Jadlo, moved his family to Haruun Kal seeking further fortunate & investment into the expensive spices on world. Declared as the "Balawai" - offworlders - the native Korunnai began a war that eventually was coined as the "Summertime War" against the Balawai. Edwiin, in retaliation to his parents and their actions signed up with the Korunnai and joined the Upland Liberation Front as a grunt in the infantry with his fiancée joining him.
=== Battle of Hillda's Pass (52BBY) ===
Early in the conflict, Edwiin was deployed at Hillda's Pass which was a large section of jungle that Balawai miners were using to seek out spices. Under a team leader named Ulusk, his team was deployed a kilometer out and were assigned to have Balawai forces leave the Area of Operations peacefully. After speaking with the Balawai leaders, Edwiin and his fellow teammates was ambushed by Balawai infantry leading to a 15-hour long engagement in the jungles overnight and forced Edwiin and ULF teams to disengage, with Ashlé being wounded and taken to an immediate medical facility. Leaving Edwiin extremely worried and regretting joining with the ULF.
=== Gardaii Defensive (52BBY) ===
Now locked in heated combat, the Balawai launched dozens of deadly airstrikes over Korunnai territory that resulted in thousands of deaths and loss of extreme amounts of territory. Gardaii was one such target to attack, leading to an all out engagement between the Balawai and Korunnai with blaster bolts being swung back and forth. Edwiin fought against the attack, grabbing an assault rifle, he held his position against waves of Balawai and was forced to retreat with a defeat under his belt at Gardaii and Ashlé captured.
=== The Winter (Late 52BBY) ===
With the war started around 6 months prior, the winter on Haruun Kal began and forced both sides of the conflict to dig in and await it to subside. Leading a mission alone, Edwiin broke into a Balawai complex late at night with the snows blanketed over him and broke Ashlé out without any hostile contact. With Ashlé, they both decided not to continue fighting with the Korunnai and once the winter ends they'd leave Haruun Kal forever with each other in their arms. Taking refuge in a cabin deep in the woods, Ashlé and Edwiin steered clear of any conflict and hunted to survive. Nearly starving on multiple occasions due to being novices. Near the next year's beginning, Edwiin learned Ashlé was pregnant with his child.
=== Hunted by the Death Watch (51BBY) ===
With Ashlé now 2 months into pregnancy, Edwiin attempted to hunt and gather more food as much he possibly can so he can feed both his child and Ashlé. Whilst looking for berries and other fruits, Edwiin saw black-plated Mandalorian warriors combing the forest with flashlights and blaster rifles. Ducking behind a rock, he held his breath and ran to the cabin to alert Ashlé which only led the Mandalorians to his location. Held at blasterpoint, he offered all his credits and every worldly possession in exchange for his fiancée's freedom. A large Mandalorian clad in jet black beskar, identified himself as "Raash Fresier" of Death Watch and that he was here hunting a bounty by the name of Edwiin Jadlo, Edwiin froze, and after briefly considering it revealed himself and asked for him to be taken and Ashlé left alone. Raash laughed in his face, and hit Edwiin square in the jaw with the butt of his rifle. Telling his men to "Take him outside and bind him to the speeder." After being dragged out of the cabin with 2 Death Watch grunts, still coughing and bleeding, he heard a blaster shot in the cabin, and screamed forcing the grunts to knock Edwiin unconscious.
=== Taken Home (51BBY) ===
"Don't come and find me this time, and if you do: make sure you send them." - Edwiin threatening his mother.Following being taken captive by the Death Watch, they brought Edwiin home to his parents in a Balawai Compound and after being paid a large sum of 20,000 credits, the Death Watch parted ways from Haruun Kal. As the winter subsided and the war began again, Edwiin lived with his parents in solitude for many months and after being forced to come with the realization that his parents were the ones that got Ashlé and his child killed, Edwiin plotted his revenge and committed patricide, killing his father with a vibroblade while threatening his mother in the process. Fleeing Haruun Kal with hundreds of thousands of credits from his family, he sought out a mission for revenge on Raash for the death of Ashlé and his child. 
=== Induction into the True Mandalorians (51BBY) ===
"Ed's perseverance throughout this endeavor is something to be commended, if his family won't accept him. I will." - Harus Kadiilir Edwiin took a stolen freighter from Haruun Kal & brought it to Mandalore itself unaware of the Civil War that broke out nearly a decade earlier. Seeking his revenge almost immediately, he met two Mandalorians and attacked them with a blade that ended with him getting a broken nose and questioned by the Mandalorians. Introducing themselves as Harus Kadiilir and Jacen Verut, they both schooled Edwiin on his awful fighting stance & even laughed at him though still offering to help him. Edwiin explained he was out for revenge of a black-cladded Mandalorian and both Harus and Jacen glanced at each other, understanding it was the Death Watch.
Edwiin was sworn into the True Mandalorians weeks later, training under Harus Kadiilir for many months & was even adopted by Harus. With the credits he stole, he customized his Mandalorian armor with aurodium & golden metals alongside the beskar. With the golden exterior, other Mandalorians recognized he was out for vengeance.
