## Biography

### **Early life and bounty hunter**

When the Human male known as Calo Nord was a young boy, he was sold into slavery by his mother and father. During his time as a slave, Nord learned to be ruthless and cold-hearted. After turning sixteen years of age, Nord butchered his slave masters. Free, he located his parents and murdered them. A bounty was placed on Nord's head, and the young man was pursued by many bounty hunters. Nord observed the means and methodologies of the bounty hunters who tracked him, learning and acquiring trade skills. He used his new-found skills to eliminate each one that was in pursuit. Eventually, the attempts on his life ceased. The Bounty Hunters' Guild had deemed Nord too dangerous and cancelled the contract. Nord, however, found and killed the people that had placed the bounty. Nord became a bounty hunter himself, taking contracts from whoever paid him. Among these contracts were operations on behalf of the Galactic Republic in the Core. As a bounty hunter, Nord commissioned the building of personal armor, based on the design worn by the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders. Following its completion, Nord killed the maker of the armor to make sure that it would be unique to him, and also to keep from paying the designer.

He occasionally worked for Davik Kang, a crime lord of the Exchange crime syndicate whose operations were based on the Outer Rim ecumenopolis of Taris. When contracted, Kang hired Nord to kill and bring back the heads of rancors so that the crime lord could mount the heads in his trophy room. Among the locations Nord visited while on Taris was the Hutt Zax's bounty office, an establishment contained within the Lower City locale of Javyar's Cantina. By the time of the Jedi Civil War, a galaxy-spanning conflict initiated by Darth Revan, Darth Malak, and their Sith Empire, it had even been said that Nord had killed more people than the Iridian Plague.

### A different universe and a new team

At some point Calo Nord found himself unknowingly in the future a different universe but eventually realizing that he is in the future. At some point he meets Canderous Ordo, Din Djarin, Bossk'wassak'Cradossk and Boba Fett and they form a bounty hunter squad. Calo would also learn that in the past he would've been defeated by Bastila Shan and Revan and that Revan was also in this time period. Wanting to keep his perfect record he wanted to hunt down Revan, but knew that it would be a difficult task based on his knowladge of Revan.

### Working for the hutts

Not too long after his arrival to this universe, Calo Nord and the rest of the squad were hired by the hutts. During a raid against the hutts, Calo and Canderous fought the attacking team at the stairs to the throne room. During the fight Calo caused the roof of the staircase to crumble, removing the possiblity for the attackers to escape. During the fight Calo was shot in the shoulder but Din Djarin arrived to help. Shortly after they were called by their boss to retreat to the throne room. In the throne room they regrouped with Boba Fett and Bossk. A new fight started in the throne room during which Calo was knocked out. Eventually when he got up most of the attackers nigh dead on the ground but a squad of HKs and A.L.I.C.E. walked in. A.L.I.C.E. threatened to detonate the building so in response Boba called the squad to take their payment and leave.

### Working for Caesar

Calo and the rest of the squad would often be hired by Caesar along with frequently rendezvousing at one of his villas. While searching for information on Revan, Calo would learn that he had been spotted during the Syndicate take over of Mandalore. While Canderous and Din would frequently be angered while learning about recent Mandalore events, but Calo didn't care as he had no investment in what happened on Mandalore. While getting short on credits they decided to check if Caesar has any jobs for them along with Calo wanting to ask him if he had any information on Revan.

When they met up with Caesar he told Calo that a man matching Revan's description was seen at the ruins of the Jedi temple on Coruscant. Caeser also had a job for them to rescue Bo-Katan Kryze from Keldabe Palace. While still prepearing for the job and trying to conserve credits Din attempted to make sushi from the raw fish that Bossk has been catching, but the sushi was disliked by everyone including Calo. Eventually Din would realize that they did more than time travel as he was in possention of the supposedly destroyed Darksaber and asking Calo if he had knew the Empire, to which Calo responded that the only empire he knew was the one that belonged to Darth Revan and Darth Malak.

#### Busting out Bo-Katan Kryze

Once the team arrived at Keldabe Palace they split up. Boba went to infeltrate through the public entrance, Calo went to one of the other entrances, Canderous and Din stayed outside to keep watch and Bossk stayed in the ship for when they needed to escape. When Calo arrived at his entrance he saw that it was guarded by 4 guards, due to which Din helped by getting one of the guards away from the entrance and knocking him out. Calo used a stun granade on the other guards, knocking them out but the caused enough noise for one of the patrols inside to come investigate. When the patrol reached the entrance they were ambushed and knocked out by Calo as he proceeded to go inside cloacked, destroying cameras on his way so that Din could follow. Boba managed to find Bo-Katan frozen in carbonite and freed her, regrouping with Calo and Din before they escape from the entrance Calo had cleared.

After they returned to the villa, Caesar visited them to check on Bo-Katan. There they realized that due to carbonite sickness Bo-Katan had forgotten the events of the last two years. Caesar proceed to explain what had happened on Mandalore during that time, during which Calo and the rest were listening as well. After the explanation Caesar payed the group and left.
