[edit] Biography
Dred spent his previous life challenging himself and his men to create elite soldiers through brutal training competitions. He was chosen by Jango Fett to train clone troopers on Kamino, which he did by secretly forming Battle Circles.
[edit] Behind the scenes
This figure shares some parts with Llats Ward and Boba Fett, but not everything about the character has been revealed yet.
Like the Rav Bralor figure in the set, Dred Priest appears to be loosely based on artwork done by Tom Hodges for the Star Wars Insider 86 article The Mandalorians: People and Culture. In this picture you can see that the waist and shoulder ammo belts, cod piece, and upper torso armor are identical. However, the helmet on the action figure is not as intricately painted as the one in the artwork, nor does the action figure have any thigh and shin armor. The legs are taken from a Boba Fett action figure.
The head under the helmet is loosely based on Hasbro employee Derryl Depriest, whose name also served as a basis for the figure.
