Akin Cadera is an Human male Mandalorian originating from the moon Concordia, who during the Clone Wars fought under Death Watch and would defect afterwards when Maul took over. Falling out from Death Watch alongside Bo-Katan Kryze and other Mandalorians, Cadera would set up his own faction of Mandalorians who believe in the Great Hunt and following the ideals of the True Mandalorians. He also believes in the usage of their language, Mando'a as it was taught to him by his parents from a young age. During his time as a Bounty Hunter and the early years of the Empire, Akin would meet the former Emperor's Hand-- Seven. During their time together, they would form a friendship before Akin finally broke off and continued his journey across the galaxy with his Covert. He is an independent Bounty Hunter, willing to work for the highest bidder.

## **Physical Description**

Standing at a height of 6'3, Akin has a fair appearance and has an assortment of freckles all across his face. A noting feature of the Mandalorian is that he has a scar over his nose and a red cybernetic eye enhancement. Having high endurance and a peak physical build, Akin is in his prime at the age of 38 years old.

Cadera has red hair that droops slightly over his face, however, his hair is clean and maintained. Akin does his best to shave all of his facial hair as he finds it annoying to deal with.

## **Biography**

### **Early Life & Upbringing**

Akin was born on the planet of Concordia, 39 years before the battle of Yavin to Ge-Rinn Cadera and Konn Cadera, being brought up and taught the ways of the hunt of Mandalorians-- being taught their true history despite the ever-growing changes on Mandalore and his parents explement to Concordia as radicals form Death Watch. During his youth, Akin would be inducted into the Death Watch from a young age and went under vigorous training routines.

His parents grew concerned of this development, which would later have an effect on the young Cadera. With their rising concerns and worrying for their son, they would reach out to him one night about him leaving Death Watch. Furious at his parents, Akin would call them out as fake Mandalorians before storming off. However, they would make up the next morning as his Father would reach out to his son and give him wise advice. This advice would hit Akin so deeply-- he would never forget it and kept it to his heart.

During his early years within the Death Watch, Akin would meet Korilyn (Koril). The two were childhood best friends, always sticking close to each other as they grew up together on the moon of Concordia within the Death Watch. Oftentimes, they would have disagreements and argue-- the two bickering in their spare time as the others saw it as entertainment and seeing them often challenge each other to duels during their downtime.

## **The Clone Wars**

During 22 BBY, Akin was stationed at one of the various bases on Concordia with Korilyn, a girl who he became very familiar with and would soon fall into a romantic relationship with. Between the two of them, they would see multiple events unfold while they were inside the Death Watch-- such as Pre Vizsla's alliance with the Separatists, the capture of Ahsoka Tano, encounters with Obi Wan Kenobi, and so much more.

In one instance, Akin would gain his scar by some droids who rebelled against them on Carlac, during Ahsoka Tano's escape. Vowing to get revenge on the Jedi who caused his scar, his deep hatred for the Jedi would grow even deeper during the Clone Wars. Soon, Akin and Koril would get closer as the events got deadlier and deadlier-- bringing them closer than ever. In 21 BBY, the two would get married in a traditional Mandalorian marriage hosted by Death Watch.

During 19 BBY, their daughter Virion would be born right before Maul's insurgency took over Death Watch-- putting an end to Pre Vizsla's reign and splitting up its core members. Akin seeing the death of their leader was shocked with Bo Katan, them fleeing the scene as they were chased. Sadly, his wife would pass away during this civil war between Death Watch-- her life being taken by Maul and his lackeys. Vowing to avenge his wife alongside his clan, he would stay with Bo-Katan and fight against Maul as a resistance cell.

During the Siege of Mandalore, Akin would be on the frontlines and witness the capture of Maul-- before seeing the end of his terror... for once and for all, at least he thought. After everything was said and done, Akin would depart from Mandalore and decide it was time for him to find his own way in the Galaxy as he had several disagreements with Bo Katan and how she led the Nite Owls.

## **Order 66 - The Dark Times**

After Order 66, Atin would go on and become a bounty hunter while raising his daughter Virion by himself. During this time period, he would meet Seven or 'Kat' as some people knew her by. As time progressed, Atin would be contracted to do multiple bounties and began to set up connections throughout the galaxy as he grew a following of Mandalorians who saw his actions as inspiring.

Due to this, Cadera would form his own covert and they would oftentimes move from planet to planet as a warring tribe. Somewhat similar to Death Watch, his ideals were closely resembled as that was how he knew things in life. His hatred for the Jedi would be satisfied slightly as the Purge had taken a toll on them.

   During the Dark Times, Akin would hunt down Jedi for 'sport' and use this as a tradition for his Covert as the numbers of Jedi dwindled. Seeing this as a rare opportunity to get his prey out of hiding and have a thrilling experience.

## **Roleplay Events**

In 1 BBY, Akin was contacted by his old friend known as Seven in a desperate situation. Seeing her desperation and remembering his old friend, he obliged to help her out and see what was wrong-- little did he know what he was stepping into. Seven would hire Akin to find and take down Kilgore, someone who had been targeting her for some time. Being informed that he had a Beskar Sword, it made him somewhat agitated-- however, made his resolve to help her better. Whether this was an attempt to manipulate Akin or sway him to help her, it is unclear. She would later claim that Akin could set up a covert on the planet that she was hiding on, which he was skeptical at first-- but later on agreed to.

After talking to Seven, Akin would set off to find his target-- Kilgore. Cadera would find Kilgore in a bar, him quickly moving to the back as Akin slowly trailed him with his Mandalorian Covert. During their meeting, Cadera gave him two choices. Either he dies in the Cantina-- or he fights him honorably outside. Kilgore would accept Atin's offer to an honorable duel, one on one. Which was a foolish mistake on Kilgore's part, seeing how Akin has trained his whole life in hand to hand combat with the Death Watch alongside fighting multiple foes during the Clone Wars.

Their duel would commence as Akin shouts at Kilgore for using a Beskar Blade that does not belong to him as they fight hand to hand in a duel. The Mandalorian would easily overpower Kilgore in a physical situation and he would stab Kilgore in the stomach with his Beskad-- however, the duel would be interrupted by an Imperial Patrol... who would only shoot at the Mandalorian as he flew off.

After this encounter, Akin would go into hiding on Tatooine for a few days as Imperials searched for the Bounty Hunter before going off-world as Seven had requested his help.. Knowing that this situation could only go worse, Cadera had ordered his Daughter into hiding alongside most of his Covert. Taking only the most skilled of his group, he went and met up with Seven as they were confronted by multiple people who were after her. Here, he would meet Kilgore again.... Sadly, their duel did not last very long as Vader showed up and captured Seven; with all parties involved being dispersed. However, Cadera would learn that one of his Mandalorians in his covert had captured a lightsaber from the Jedi.. to which he would take it and make it his personal weapon as a prize.

## **Personality n' Traits + Powers n' Abilities**

> "Honor. Strength. Blood. All of these things make a warrior. Now tell me, what are you?"
>
> - Akin questioning his Covert

In his youth, Cadera was a fiercely loyal devotee to the Death Watch-- as such, he was foolish and full of himself. Oftentimes getting himself in sticky situations that would mostly lead him down into a rabbit hole of bad things. Such as obtaining the scar on his nose. His fierce personality as gotten him several nicknames such as 'Hot Head' and more. In his youth, he has taken on multiple animals in hunts that the Mandalorians pride themselves in. Overcoming odds that would be considered impossible to the average human, however, standard for the Mandalorians. Such as defeating a Rancor or a savage beast as a rite of passage. This would only encourage his ignorance and stuborness in his youth.

As he matured, however, and reflecting on his fathers advice when he was younger, Atin would develop a cold personality and took a calculating approach and this would make him dangerous. Being an inspiration to many Mandalorians within the Galaxy, Akin prides himself in his culture and ways. Due to this, Akin is someone who you will have to be cautious to mess with or try to trick. Fighting Jedi during the Clone Wars, going against Maul and his former Death Watch members-- Akin is a hardened Veteran who does not like to be messed with or challenged. People may think that Akin is cold and has no soft spots, no weak points-- However, he does have a soft side... which is due to him having a daughter, which oftentimes makes him sympathetic to those who have children or have a family. Due to this, he has a jaded code of honor and sometimes will bend his own code to help others or challenge people to 'Honorable' duels.

### **Abilities and Skills**

Atin is a highly trained Mandalorian who was mentored from a young age from his father, who was a descendant of the True Mandalorians and had fought in several battles beforehand. Due to this, Akin is more attuned to acrobatics, combat, and overall physical attributes.

Such abilities that Atin has are included below:

* **Force Immunity**
	+ Atin is able to resist Force related abilites and most mind tricks as his clan has fought Jedi for multiple generations in the past-- it being passed down to him as he is highly intelligent and mind tricks are mostly only used on those who are dumb or lowly trained.
* **Expert Marksman**
	+ Since Akin could remember, he has always been a sharp shooter and has always had a good keen eye. Due to this, he is best when he is using a blaster.
* **Enhanced Reflexes + Strength**
	+ Cadera has trained since he was a young boy in the Death Watch in Beskar armor alongside growing up in a warrior culture. It only makes sense that his reflexes are better than your average human and his strength is increased.
