Backstory
Korda Veydran was born into a dying clan with a reputation for siege warfare and demolitions. From youth, he embraced the doctrine of destruction, turning every battle into a test of who could endure fire and fury the longest. Where most Mandalorians favored balance between blasters, blades, and tactics, Korda leaned entirely into brutality.
During the civil conflicts that fractured Mandalore, his combat style grew infamous. Allies whispered he was "too brutal" — more beast than warrior. He would breach walls not just with charges, but with his fists, sometimes detonating explosives so close that even fellow Mandalorians recoiled from the carnage. Eventually, his own people cast him out, believing he endangered the Resol'nare by turning Mandalorian honor into savagery.
Isolated and bitter, Korda carried the Death Watch symbol on his knuckle plates — not as loyalty, but as a silent declaration: if his people thought him a monster, he would wear the mark of monsters with pride.
Now, he wanders the galaxy as an outcast mercenary. He is feared by enemies, mistrusted by allies, and respected only by those who value results over honor.
- Name: Korda Veydran
- Affiliation: Clan Veydran (near-extinct line). Known association with Death Watch, though not a sworn member.
Armor
- Plating: Full heavy beskar plating, scarred and blackened by fire. The armor's sheer weight slows most warriors, but Veydran uses it as an advantage, turning himself into a walking battering ram.
- Markings:
- Clan Sigil: A crimson krayt skull cracked down the center, with a stylized explosion blooming from within — representing Clan Veydran's legacy of siegecraft and destructive warfare.
- Death Watch Symbol: Etched into his knuckle plates, almost like a personal reminder. These markings are old and worn, not freshly painted, suggesting more a lingering affinity than formal allegiance.
Combat Role
- Shock trooper / breacher. Specializes in close-quarters assault and demolitions.
Weapons
- Melee: Reinforced vibroblade (heirloom weapon of Clan Veydran). Shock-augmented gauntlets capable of short energy discharges on impact.
- Ranged: Compact sidearm blaster, carried for emergencies.
- Explosives: Thermal detonators, breaching charges, improvised demolitions. Veydran's use of explosives is reckless but terrifyingly effective, often deploying them mid-combat.
Tactics
- Uses armor and sheer bulk to absorb fire while closing distance.
- Prefers to annihilate enemy positions with explosives before rushing survivors in melee.
- Considered dangerously unpredictable — fights like a living warhead.
Physical Description (Unmasked)
- Hair: Short, coarse brown hair.
- Skin: Sun-darkened and battle-worn. Covered in scars from blades, burns, and shrapnel.
- Eyes: Red irises from a rare genetic mutation, lending a feral, intimidating gaze.
- Build: Heavily muscled, towering frame, broad shoulders.
- Markings: Black and crimson Mandalorian tattoos across torso, arms, and back. Many are broken by scar tissue.
