Biography

Early life
Edit
- "I have called myself Mandalorian since I left my mother's side at age three to begin training."
- ―Akaavi Spar
Born a member of the respected Mandalorian Clan Spar,[2] Akaavi Spar was a female Zabrak. At the age of three, Spar left her mother to begin her Mandalorian training under her father;[1] this was tradition in the Mandalorian culture, though Spar began several years prior to the more typically accepted age of eight years old.[3] Trained in the use of a blaster and jetpack from youth, Spar possessed few if any friends during her childhood,[1] but quickly became one of her clan's best warriors. When she was only eight years old, Spar killed an abusive Abyssin mercenary with an improvised flamethrower, earning her the nickname of "Firehand" among her clan mates.[2] At the age of thirteen, Spar completed her Mandalorian right of passage known as the verd'goten,[3] ascending into adulthood.[1] She embarked on a career as a bounty hunter, working with the Sith Empire[2] the Mandalorians under Mandalore the Vindicated had allied with during the Great Galactic War,[4] capturing or killing individuals ranging from common criminals to Jedi.[2]
As an adult, Akaavi Spar met and fell in love with fellow Mandalorian warrior, Zadik Lone, and left Clan Spar to join Lone's clan. Her departure spared Spar from the fate of her clan, destroyed by the Sith Empire on false charges of treason. When Spar learned of this, she called upon her lover's clan for assistance in rallying support for Clan Spar, but the members of Clan Lone refused to provide help,[1] despite the culture's traditional expectation to offer aid to any other Mandalorian in need.[5] Disgusted by their inaction, Spar ended her relationship with Zadik and abandoned Clan Lone in order to seek out vengeance against those within the Empire who were responsible for her clan's demise.[1]
