Legend

this man was one of the Mandalorian Mercs who rose to power following the Great Sith War, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. He was also a born leader with considerable skills as a tactician and solider, and his battles plans were instrumental in winning many battles against the Old Republic. After the Mandalorian Wars saw the defeat of his people at the hands of the Old Republic, Ordo took his combat skills and went into business for himself. For many years, he worked for the crimelord Davik Kang on Taris, using the distraction of the Great Sith War to continue his missions without worrying about being captured. When the Sith destroyed the Endar Spire over Taris and then blockaded the planet, Ordo was among the millions who were eager to flee Taris. As luck would have it, he was contacted by Carth Onasi and Bastila Shan, survivors of the Endar Spire who needed to get off Taris and hunt down Darth Malak. He managed to acquire the droid T3-M4, after he had been ordered to retrieve it by Kang, and used the droid's skills to slice into the Taris defense networks. Using stolen codes, the band managed to escape Taris just before the Leviathan destroyed it. Ordo remained with the Republic agents, searching for Darth Malak and the Star Forge. In the wake of the Jedi Civil War, Revan ordered Canderous Ordo to restore the Mandalorians to their former glory. From a base on Dxun, he assumed the position of Mandalore and eventually built up a small army of supporters. When The Exile arrived on Dxun in search of the surviving Jedi Masters, Ordo pledged his support to The Exile, and was instrumental in the destruction of Darth Traya and her students. Canderous Ordo was voice by John Cygan for the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
