Ruxi Ordo

Ruxi Ordo, now known as Mandalore the Undying, was a Rattataki bounty hunter from humble beginnings. While he appears to be in his mid-20s, he is actually 85 years old, because of a rare genetic condition that prevents his body from physically aging. He got his start as a gun for hire, who was mostly hired by Atara the Hutt. However, Atara saw promise in him and was able to get him initiated into the Ordo Mandalorian Clan. As he worked his way up the ranks in the clan, he was known for his unusual methods of hunting. He became famous for strangling the Wampa on Hoth with his bare hands. When the Second Galactic Civil War broke out, he was the head of the Ordo Clan, and chose to defy the New Sith Empire, but did not bend to the New Republic either. His claim of Ordo's neutrality was seen as a cowardly act by Zayakar Fett, the leader of the Fett Clan, one of the most influential of the Clans. Ruxi offered a meeting with Zayakar, wanting to talk things over and explain why he wanted to remain neutral. This meeting was in reality a trap. Ruxi demanded an apology for calling him a coward, and when Zayakar drew her blaster, Ruxi quickly snapped her neck and took her helmet as a trophy and proof that he had killed her. The Fett Clan soon called Ruxi their leader, and many other clans grew to respect Ruxi for taking down Zayakar Fett. When Mandalore was killed during the war, the Mandalorian Clans agreed that Ruxi was worthy of the title of Mandalore. Because of his genetic condition, he took the title "Mandalore the Undying" and pulled the Mandalorian clans out of the Second Galactic Civil War in order to hold a hunting competition between the clans. During the war, he was known for his stubbornness on the subject of neutrality, but he allowed the clans to accept jobs from both sides as long as the target was considered worthy of Mandalorian intervention, and if they were not considered worthy, the Mandalorians would pass if over to common bounty hunters. Ruxi eventually did join the war, but the Mandalorians were not fighting for the Republic or the Empire, they fought to become their own political organization, The Hunter's Ministry, a government where Mandalorians were above all and ruled peacefully and honorably. As Mandalore, he created the Mandalorian Council, where he was the first among equals, along with eleven other members, who were all high-ranking Mandalorians. As the war continued, it was obvious to both the Republic and Empire that the Hunter's Ministry was a force to be reckoned with, and both made attempts to negotiate with the Council, to no avail.
