Gandon Belak

During the Clone Wars, Gandon Belak was a haughty young man with a severe lust for battle. He was a fierce warrior, having served with Locke until the Mandalorians were nearly wiped out. However, his lust for battle and overeagerness to fight never clouded his judgements, and he never made a mistake he couldn't walk away from.

When the Jedi all but wiped out the Mandalorians, Gandon held a severe grudge against the Force-and-lightsaber wielders of "peace and justice". However, instead of seeking his revenge, he obediently followed orders and went back to Mandalore, with Locke, in preparation for another great Mandalorian Crusade, something not witnessed for thousands of years.

Due to his ability to follow orders and abide by the Bound-by-Honor code that the Mandalorians swear to, Gandon was the primary instructor for new recruits for the next breed of the fierce Mandalorian Warriors. However, it quickly became evident that funding would be needed to properly train these individuals.

Gandon did the best he could, with limited resources at hand, to take a group of disorganized fighters and mercenaries and turn them into a militia of local soldiers and protectors, but it wasn't enough. When news of the Xen'Chi and Gait threat extended to Mandalore, and the arrival of a new Mandalorian Warrior whom soon took on the mantle of Mandalore, the Mandalorians were forced to take covert ops against neighboring systems to get the resources and funds they needed to finish the rank-and-file solders' training.

When the first raid on the Bacta convoy bound from Thyferra occurred, both Gandon and Locke played the important role of neutralizing the fighter escort of the transports bound to Fondor. Though it was an important task, Gandon became frustrated with Cadden Blackthorne's plan, due to the fact that he felt his skills were better employed in the coordination of the capture of the transports. The result was the Empire completely baffled as to how a small band of "pirates" could, in any way, manage to steal three bacta transports from underneath their very noses. Selling off a majority of the bacta they gained, they made enough credits to continue the soldiers' training as true warriors, with Gandon at the head of the efforts. Now, it will only be a matter of time before a new genre of Mandalorian Warriors arise.
