Weaknesses:
- Proud: Due in no part to his many victories and continued survival in the arena, Tor'r believes he is above the average warrior and holds himself at a higher esteem than others.
- Terrible Shot: The Mandalorian Warrior has been through thick and thin throughout his career as a slave in the arena. His accumulated experience makes him a worthy adversary with any close ranged weapon aside, that said he is terrible as a marksman due to lack of training with ranged weapons.
- Reckless: To kill the best you gotta be the best. Tor'r is willing to leap into life threatening situations to seize the day. This attitude and tendency leads him into trouble, fast.
- Provoked: Easily provoked, he holds a low tolerance for those who pick on the weak and defenseless or those who pride themselves on other's pain. He also cannot tolerate stupidity no matter what the reason.

Biography:
The history behind the man known as Tor'r Tal'Verda is a difficult thing to track down. Supposedly born on Geonosis, the future Mandalorian was the offspring of a female human slave and a vongshaped Mandalorian clone of Clan Tal'Verda. Tor'r was sold into slavery and torn from his mother's arms at an early age, he was sent to a colony in the Outer Rim where he worked as a farm aid and slave until he was thirteen.
Taking an active role in a revolt that occurred during his thirteenth year, the boy rose up and slew his Duros handler and attempted to escape the colony along with thirty others. The Revolt was subsequently put down and survivors were recaptured and punished accordingly. The punishment Tor'r received by his slavers was grueling and inhuman, realizing the boy was a danger and would only become more dangerous as he aged they sold him to a wealthy patron of the gladiatorial fights on Loovria. Leaving the colony, Tor'r was trained and honed over time to become a fighter in the arena.
From age fourteen to sixteen the Mandalorian participated in team based bloodbaths, his team was an assortment of thugs and slaves under the thumb of the very same patron master as Tor'r. In time they became like brothers, shared tricks, moves, and ideals. They said prayers when an ally fell, and worked together back to back in the arena. Tor'r slowly earned a nickname that stuck, 'The Mandalorian' after his heritage was leaked by his master in order to publicize him in an effort to double his earnings.
Moving from Loovria to Geonosis to Jubilar, the team found themselves in the middle of a new type of fight. A free for all. The team was forced to kill each other for the profit of the wealthy patrons, forced into combat or face utter death the warriors fought with honor until only one was left standing, Tor'r the Mandalorian. With his new champion, Tor'r's master took him to arenas across the galaxy until his nineteenth birthday. Winning battle after battle the young warrior knew his time was running short, sooner or later he would end up at the bad end of a vibrosword.
Plotting for an entire year, the young warrior memorized the arena's defenses, the schedule of the guards, and the exits designated to spectators. With some help from unlikely allies, the warrior sprang the escape in an effort to attain freedom.
After escaping the arena, Tor'r joined up with the Mandalorian Clan Tal'Verda and trained extensively under the supervision of Kix Tal'Verda.
(Time Skip due to leave of absence)
Years had passed since the gladiator revolt and subsequent rescue by Clan Tal'Verda, Tor'r had seen the horrors of war with the One Sith and Primeval changing him. He had become disillusioned with his path no longer sure what it was to be a Mandalorian Warrior. War. War was all he knew since he first set foot in the arena, he had only been apart of the Mandalorian Clan Tal'Verda for a few years and yet understood only the basics of what it meant to be a Mandalorian. His ambitions had grown beyond being a mere warrior, he had developed a desire to see the galaxy free in the way his vod'e had freed him.
Peace was a lie, freedom was forged only on the battlefield by the brave men and women who gave their lives for it. Those who chose to sacrifice their lives for the greater good, THAT was freedom. Soldiers expressed their freedoms, how they died, where they died, how they were rememebered and what they fought for. Their beliefs expressed in a way no mere civilian or politician could ever attempt. Disillusioned the Mandalorian vanished for a time seeking clues to his past and to who his mysterious 'father' really was. The answers were out there, and maybe with it he would find what it really meant to be a member of the Tal'Verda.
