Greetings, I am Kandadu'Inya. I have heard of your mercenaries' status, and jumped at the opportunity of your doors opening again. I myself enjoy the thrill of a good hunt, and am no beginner in the hunting business to say the least. I hope I can learn many new skills from the Mandalorians, and I hope that I can be an asset in your operations.
Now, some background information about myself to show you warriors what I'm all about.
I was raised on planet Los Angeles, by a man of the name X. I myself, never knew much about X... all I knew is that when I was young, my parents abandoned me outside in the rain, and X found me. I soon learned why my parents had abandoned me, but I'll mention that later... Anyways, the mysterious X brought me to his shed, far up into the mountains. He raised me, and taught me how to fly a ship. He gave me food, shelter, and enough to get by living, but nothing more. I didn't love him, and he didn't love me. We just accepted each other for what we were. Funny thing it is... to live with someone for most of your life, and know about as much of him as you would know a stranger. He taught me how to survive, through many harsh trials. He would bring me to the seas, and force me to catch him in his boat while swimming. The sea's trials were harsh, but they improved my physique. Made me strong. As I approached the age of 16, X let me pilot one of his many ships. I recognized it as an Eagle from the few times I had ventured to the docking pads of the city. He trained me how to fly a ship in combat. Once again, his trials were harsh. There were many times where I was forced to jettison my ship and withstand severe damage to my body. The more I trained... the more sharp my reflexes grew... Then, there came the day when I found out a crucial piece of information about X. He is a hunter. I was heading back to my quarters when I caught a glimpse in a mirror of the words: BOUNTY TERMINATED : vanishing on his computer terminal. It had never occurred to me why X was so knowledgeable in the art of survival, but I should have seen it from the start. One day, I decided to ask X why he was teaching me, and raising me. He had told me long ago that he had no ties to me, but I knew there had to have been a motive. X's response shocked me to the core. I remember his words to this very day, 20 years later.
"You are asking why I am training you to be a survivor? Asking why I am forging you into something that is virtually invincible? You wish to know... why I am training you to become a hunter? Because Kandadu'Inya... I want you to become someone who can justify what it is that I have done. This is something I should have told you long ago, but I killed your parents. There was a bounty on their head, and business is strictly business. At the time, it meant nothing to me, just another job. However, as I was retracing my steps, I stumbled upon you... I recalled that your mother was carrying you as she fled through the city streets. As I looked into your eyes, I found something. Innocence. Your parents were wanted dead... for something they had commited. But you... you were innocent, there was no harm your existence could have possibly caused. And so I took you in..."
I had gone cold after hearing his words. That was the most X had ever said to me. As soon as he said those words, I saw an acceptance in his eyes, and he turned and left. He never came back. I could have had a normal life, grown up like any ordinary person. Someone like my parents. But I was robbed. It is strange however, that I do not regret my teachings. They will be applied to hunt down X, of whom I know is still alive. However, his existence is ever elusive from my grasp. One day I will catch him, and I will justify and complete the circle.
But first, I need more guidance, and more understanding in the art of the hunt. I have claimed small time prey with ease, but I'm ready to go for the big stuff. I hope you will consider me into joining the ranks.
