A New Purpose

[SpectralUnlife]

Born to two Mandalorians, it was only natural that Zanzakin became heavily integrated into the Mandalorian society as well. He inherited the combat skills his parents preferred, and became quite proficient with a vibrosword.

 

Growing up, he was introduced to the key ideals that Mandalorians held sacred; Family and honor, among others. He questioned, however, these ideals' chances at survival while the Mandalorians allied themselves with the Sith, who almost completely disregarded these traditions.

 

Still loyal to the Mandalorians for many years, Zanzakin attempted to live his life according to his culture. He had started his own family at the age of 21, having married his childhood friend, who was also a Mandalorian. They had one child together, a son who had quickly become the light of Zanzakin's life.

 

But these things were taken from him, eventually. At the age of 40, his beloved wife was executed by the Sith for causing a dozen imperial deaths on a mission of importance. When news of this reached Zanzakin, he ordered his son, now a young adult, to go into hiding and to pull himself out of the Empire.

 

Zanzakin himself, however, had different plans. He left both the Empire and the Mandalorians completely, defecting to the Republic and gaining official citizenship. But he did not intend to simply live a life on a planet such as Coruscant. Having taken his ship, his armor, his weapons, and practically everything he owned, he turned to the life of a vigilante of sorts, seeking out Sith and Empire soldiers alike to exact his revenge against them for taking his life from him.

 

His son's location unknown, his beloved wife dead, and his life as a Mandalorian over, he focused now on his one purpose in life: Vengeance.

This was short and sweet, a very nice introduction for the real story, hopefully to follow. I have a Bounty Hunter so I've been interested in the Mandalorian culture. I hope you write more.
