Name - Chuk "Tenacious" Tensaicus

Physical Description: Tensaicus is a human Mandalorian male from Mandalore. He is 56 standard years of age and has greying hair at the temples with gray streaks in his goatee. He keeps in good physical shape, usually working out for at least an hour a day doing Mandalore Martial Arts (Mandalorian Core). He has a scar on the left side of his face, running from his nose diagonally across his cheek.

Personality: Tensaicus is quiet and keeps to himself. Others see this as being aloof or unsociable yet this is not the case. Having spent a lifetime running various spy networks, the need for discretion and secrecy has become more than second nature. He has been known to crack a joke on occasion to the surprise of his clanmates. On the other side of that coin, he is very serious when it comes to matters of security. Tensaicus is very uncompromising when it comes to protecting operational security or the identity of a hidden asset. He has seen too many operations fail because of loose lips and makes it a habit of keeping his closed.

Background: Tensaicus was a member of Clan Fero born in Sundari before the Mandalorian Civil War. He was born into the clan rather than adopted as a foundling. The Mandalorian Civil War occurred around the age of ten for him. After the Old Mandalorians left Mandalore following their defeat by the New Mandalorians, Clan Fero settled in an unnamed system they christened Ferosar. When Tensaicus was in his mid twenties, he left to grow as a Mandalorian and got caught up working for Imperial Intelligence during the Rebellion Era. It was here that he began to make name for himself as a Spy and later on as a Spymaster. During the conflict, he secretly sent information back to Clan Fero as well as to the Empire. After the battle at Endor and the subsequent destruction of the Empire, culminating in the battle at Jakku, Tensaicus began to work for warlords the same type of work as a freelancer. He knew of Moff Gideons work and actively avoided that area as he had no desire to work for the man who had decimated his homeworld. There were just some lines he would not cross and serving the destroyer of Mandalore was one of them. Tensaicus stayed out of the feud with Vizsla until the attempt on Alenna Vhett. He returned to Ferosar not long after to build a better spy network to protect his clan after that event.

Education: Mandalorian training in his youth. Imperial Intelligence training and Imperial Special Force training during the Imperial Era.

Name:
Ca'tra Kyr'amur (Previously: Nikolas Drahon, The Deadly Shadow)
Physical Description:
Ca'tra stands at 5'9" tall, with lightly tanned skin, bleached white hair about two inches in length, unassuming brown eyes, and stubble. His armor is painted with a dark camouflage pattern, but on missions he usually only wears the breastplate and back plate under a disguise. He often uses disguises to change his appearance, especially in the field. He is wiry, but surprisingly strong.
Personality:
Ca'tra is very paranoid, although he doesn't often show it. He is secretive about his past. He doesn't speak often, preferring to let people assume things about him and his past. He is extremely patient, having more than once waited for several months to kill/gather info on a target. However, he is easily swayed by credits, to any end but betraying Clan Fero. He doesn't care about anyone but himself.
Background:
Nikolas Drahon was born on Nar Shaddaa in 9 ABY. He was raised by his father, a professional assassin, and trained in the art of killing and stealth. At fifteen, he killed his father in a duel and continued his training on his own. By the time he reached two decades, he was skilled enough to blend into any crowd and kill anyone without being caught. He left Nar Shaddaa in a shuttle and headed to Coruscant, where he became an assassin for hire under the name of The Deadly Shadow. After half a decade, Clan Fero caught wind of his existence and sent an emissary to meet with him and get him to join the clan. Skeptical at first, he asked to meet with Clan Fero's leader. The emissary complied and brought the assassin to Ferosar, where he was met by the leader, who convinced him to join the clan. Upon joining, he changed his name to Ca'tra Kyr'amur, and has since served Clan Fero faithfully.
Education:
Ca'tra was trained in stealth and murder by his father, then after killing him, he taught himself how to do both better and more stealthily, and continued his training alone for a decade. After joining Clan Fero, he continued to learn from the clan's assassins and spies. His combat style is patient, efficient, and deadly.
