Mando
Known across the Outer Rim simply as "the Mandalorian," Din Djarin was a feared bounty hunter who threw away his livelihood to save the child he had been hired to capture. Orphaned as a boy when Separatist droids destroyed his village during the Clone Wars, he was carried off by a Death Watch warrior and raised as a foundling on Concordia. He took the creed of the Children of the Watch and swore never to remove his helmet in front of another living being. In the years after the Empire fell he became one of the Bounty Hunters' Guild's best hunters, working out of Nevarro in his gunship, the Razor Crest. In 9 ABY an Imperial remnant hired him to retrieve a mysterious asset. It turned out to be Grogu, a Force-sensitive infant of Yoda's species, and Djarin rescued him from his Imperial clients instead of handing him over. That turned the Guild and Moff Gideon against him. With allies like Greef Karga, Cara Dune, Kuiil and IG-11 he fought his way free. The Armorer then named him and Grogu a clan of two and charged him with finding the child's own kind. That search brought him to Bo-Katan Kryze, Ahsoka Tano and Boba Fett. It ended with Djarin beating Gideon, taking the Darksaber, and taking off his helmet to say goodbye as Luke Skywalker took Grogu away. The Armorer cast him out as an apostate. He fought beside Boba Fett at Mos Espa and got Grogu back. He then bathed in the Living Waters beneath Mandalore to redeem himself, and helped Bo-Katan unite the Mandalorians and retake their homeworld, where Gideon was killed. After that he formally adopted Grogu as his son and apprentice and settled on Nevarro, taking contracts from the New Republic to hunt down Imperial warlords. Those jobs later pitted him against the warlord Barro, the Hutt Twins and the Imperial commander Janu Coin.
