Mando

Mando is the lost Ifritim Prince, the son of Mandor that was stolen. His father, was once a member of the Council of Gilead. But after the defeat at the Battle of Uz, the Council of Gilead was disbanded and transformed into the Dark Council. They no longer abided by the agreements made with the underworld of Terah. Lord Mandor was betrayed by Hades, and to prevent the complete corruption of Terah many of the underworld entrances were closed, including the main Gilead and Terah entrances. When the Ifritim declared war against the

Dark Council many of them were killed. Ifritim are born in eggs and hatched in volcanoes. After his father’s death, Mando’s egg was taken and hidden by followers of his father. They were chased to the artic, where Mando’s egg was frozen. Centuries later (during the time of Usiku: Dark Wars) there was an archeologist studying the ruins of the cult of Osiris, he found the hidden temple and recovered the egg. Dr. Mohad took the egg and found that it could withstand intense amounts of heat. He then traveled to an inactive volcano, miles outside of the town of Dazil. The presence of the egg seemed to heat the volcano even more. He tossed the egg in the magma and it started to glow. 9 months later, the egg hatched and a small humanoid came out. The child had glowing markings on his body. Dr. Mohad named the boy Mando, which was the only part of the markings that he could decipher. Dr. Mohad decided to raise the boy in the town of Dazil. They lived peacefully until a darkhold spy reported the boy’s strange abilities. This gained the attention of the Olde Guard who came looking to recruit the boy. Even at such a young age Mando possessed powerful abilities. During the attack on Dazil, he is helped by a group of vigilantes that traveled the world to defeat a dark enemy. After the loss of Dr. Mohad in the Raid on Dazil, Mando realizes he has no real ties to this world and decides to go out on his own. Thanking the vigilantes for their help, he parted ways with them. (This is the group of warriors from Usiku Dark:Wars)

Once Mando reached adulthood he had discovered new abilities and his strength and durability grew. And after he failed to age for over 25 years he realized his longevity. Mando would cross paths with other extraordinary beings & creatures, but none were like him, or viewed the world like him.

In the early 1900’s Mando had given up his efforts to find where he came from. He began to sink into a part of society he blended in with, the underground. He became the legendary leader of an underground criminal organization. He has done shady business with the Beacons and Belmont Corporation off the books. After the events of the raid on a Belmont corporation factory where a group of his agents were killed along with Belmont Corporation property and guards, a hit is put on his head. Mando is quite powerful, but these new creatures were the most powerful he has encountered. While on the run, Mando meets a follower of the cult of Osiris named Dierk. Dierk begins to reveal his religion to Mando. Over the months, Dierk notices the markings on Mando, and he tells Mando that he may not be of this world. He teaches Mando about the cult. They travel finding clues and Mando feels purpose again, close to finding out what he is. This was until Dierk was chased and killed by the unknown agents. Which were from the newly formed NEP. Mando had long ago denied Runi’s request to join his new council to oppose, so when Runi took control of the Arcadia Union he put a bounty on Mando’s head. So now Mando is on a quest to find the last pieces of who he is, and avenge his only friend. His only lead, happens to be the Alexandria Library, which is heavily guarded by the Beacons, who he believes killed his friend. This is where he encounters Jesse in Volume 2, who is working for the beacons at the time. After fighting Jesse to a stand still, they face the powerful foe that has been hunting the both of them. This makes Mando realize it wasn’t the beacons that killed his friend. After killing him, the Beacons ask Mando to join and they will help him get the info he wants. He refuses, even tho he feels a strange trust within Jesse, noting that he has been asked to join vigilantes before and asking Jesse if he truly trusts the Beacons. Jesse says he trusts Limon. Later in Volume 2, when Mando agrees to join Jesse to confront Runi head on, even tho they lose badly they survive. In Volume 3 they target the High ranking Beacons to find out more information about what is really going on with their world.
