Background
The history of Tal’nar Galon is somewhat marred, as is all histories of people descended from Mandalorians. Although he was a descendent from one of the greatest Mandalorian clans, Clan Ordo, his surname has lost the title, after years of marriage and problems. These problems all stem from the great Mandalorian Wars, from over 300 hundred years ago. Even though it was such a long time ago, the main populace and military of the Republic had never forgiven the Mandalorians for what they did. Their hatred extended into extreme fanaticism, hunting down and killing pretty much all Mandalorians they could find. Tal’nar’s ancestors finally decided to change their surname and titles, for their protection, although they always kept the Clan name in their minds and hearts.
Tal’nar’s life had never been an easy one, full of fighting, death and blaster fire. It began as soon as he was born. His mother, Shaia, died giving birth to him, which left him with only his father, Ka’rick. Tal’nar did not find out until later, but his father was a greatly feared Bounty Hunter, who had claimed countless heads. Once Tal’nar had come of the age of twelve, Ka’rick began teaching him the art of Bounty Hunting. It was always in his mind for his son to take after him, and in the end, he got his wish.
Tal’nar soon became a master in the art of hand-to-hand combat, close combat weapons, such as vibroswords, and of course, as any Bounty Hunter should, the blaster pistol. Once he had mastered them, Ka’rick began taking him on some of his hunts, though he made sure that Tal'nar was in the background and out of harm’s way. When Tal’nar was sixteen, his father took him on one last fateful hunt. It was on this hunt that he lost his father.
They were hunting a Smuggler who was known to be working for the Republic and other crime organizations. A high ranking officer of the Sith Empire wanted the Smuggler dead. They hired Ka’rick Galon, knowing about his skills. The Smuggler’s name was Sorcan Divrul, although Tal’nar didn’t know it at the time. The two Hunters tracked Sorcan to the planet of Corellia, where the Smuggler was supplying the local crime gang weaponry to counter their opposition.
They found him giving the weapons to the thugs. There were about eight thugs with Sorcan, yet Tal'nar and Ka'rick still moved in, and engaged them. The two Mandalorians were outnumbered, but their training was far better than the criminals. Tal'nar had killed two of the thugs, and mortally wounded a third, while his father killed the rest. Just as Ka'rick had killed the last of the thugs, the Smuggler had shot him in the back. Tal'nar moved to his father’s body, and had found that he was just barely breathing.
Ka'rick gave Tal'nar a necklace, with contained a miniscule picture of him, with his mother and father. Ka'rick Galon then died. In that time, Sorcan Divrul had walked over to Tal'nar. The Smuggler had kicked him onto his back, while Tal'nar was still looking at his father’s dead body. Sorcan had pulled out a small knife, and cut a long line down his left eye, which had given him a scar there for the rest of his life.
The rest of Tal'nar’s history has gone out of text, and no one knows what happened to him then. It was assumed that he somehow escaped Divrul, though it has never been determined how. Tal'nar had disappeared for two years, no one hearing anything about him, until he reappeared and began working for the notorious crime syndicate known as the Galactic Trade Commission. Yet for his whole life, Tal'nar Galon has never stopped looking for and hunting Sorcan Divrul, and never will, until he exacts revenge of him, and avenges his father’s death.
