Backstory

Korda Veydran was born into the remnants of a minor Mandalorian clan known for siege warfare and explosives. From youth, he embraced destruction as doctrine, pushing battles to their absolute extremes. His unrelenting brutality earned him a reputation as "too savage" for mainstream Mandalorian society. During Mandalore's conflicts, his tactics and indiscriminate use of explosives alienated peers, earning exile from his own people.


Turning to The Majestic Flame of Manda, Korda found purpose. The religion, a splinter of the ancient Taung traditions and precursor inspiration for Death Watch, emphasizes destruction as divine will — the path of Kad Ha'Rangir. The Death Watch symbols etched onto his knuckle plates are both homage and pledge: he channels the faith's eternal fire into combat, seeing each battle as a sacred act of cleansing and rebirth.


Now a wandering outcast, Korda is feared by enemies and respected only by those who value results over honor. To him, war is sacred, explosives are divine instruments, and melee combat is holy. Every scar, every muscle, every strike is an offering to the Destroyer God.
