Mandalore (title)

Mandalore is the title, and often dubbed name, of the individual whom commands the Mandalorians. The title is believed to originate from the Mandalorian species, of whom the Mandalorians of current have received their heritage.

Being Mandalore is the greatest honor any Mandalorian can acheive. Oftentimes, the Mandalorian Clans choose a new Mandalore when a previous dies, and tradition would generally dictate that the helmet of the previous Mandalore were to be retrieved and worn by the new.

The current Mandalore is Cadden Blackthorne, and he leads the Mandalorians on the New Mandalorian Crusade. Instead of finding and wearing Jaster Mereel's, or Jango Fett's, helmet, however, Cadden had chosen to mimick their general color design, and thus sports a black-base armor with blood-red stripes. This color combination is something of a personal preference to Cadden, and serves as an eternal reminder for what it cost him to be where he is today.
