Cadden Blackthorne

"Nothing will stop me, no amount of force, no volume of strength, no number of troops or ships. If you kill me, I will walk again, if you wound me, I will keep fighting. If you capture me, I will escape... there is no way around, or through me. Once you are a target, your fate is already sealed."

- Cadden Blackthorne

Cadden Blackthorne was a Mandalorian who rose to become the Mandalorians' new Mand'alor.

Biography
To be completed as we hone in on the new timeline for the reboot.

Personality and Traits
Cadden had, since very early in his career, developed a cold and calculated nature. This helped him succeed during his time as a bounty hunter and, later, rising to become the new Mand'alor. However, no matter how ruthless his methods were, there was always a spark of compassion within him.

Cadden was also noted for having a charismatic personality and insatiable desire for knowledge. His abilities in charisma and persuasion were more than powerful enough to win the personal loyalty of countless Mandalorians during his rise to the position of Mand'alor. As Mand'alor, Cadden was acknowledged as one of the greatest military tacticians of his time. Intelligent and decisive, Cadden won the devotion and admiration of not only his followers, but also several of his enemies, many of whom were humbled after being defeated by his tactics.

Equipment
Over the years, Cadden sported a variety of conventional weaponry. Most notably was his arsenal as of his time rising to become the new Mand'alor, which was practically a carry-over from his bounty hunting years.

Though Cadden seemed to adapt to his role as Mand'alor well, he never forgot his training. He often carried, and liberally used, blasters or other crude methods of battle. For a time, Cadden also no longer carried with him a jetpack.

Cadden's arsenal while he was Mandalore consisted of two Modified DC-15S Blaster Carbines, two DH-23 "Outback" Blaster Pistols, two Lightsabers, one MM9 Mini Concussion Rocket, and a set of wrist-mounted cortosis weave blades. In addition to his weaponry, he modified his armor to include macrobinocular capabilities in the visor of his helmet; neural, infra-red, technology, and thermal vision modes for his visor; Long-range radio (1,000 meters) for the purpose of picking up sounds; and audio recorder and playback features for his helmet.
