Name: Slade Kryze
Rank: Mandalorian
Tier: Middle 2
Background: Slade Kryze, commonly just known as Slade, was a Mandalorian during the times of the Clone Wars, trained by the remains of those following the supercommando codex and hailing from Concord Dawn, he is a stout defender of the old ways. Loyal to the people and to the culture above all else. During the reign of Mand’alor the Reclaimer, unable to stand with the current leadership of Mandalore, he would go out to work as a mercenary. Coming back in 20 BBY to form a group named the Old Guard, composed of several others following the codex.
He himself was by then a fully grown man, hairs greying already. Unable to readjust to living in the city, and instead opting to live on a large farm out in the forests with the rest of the Guard, away from the prying eyes of the public. What clan he once was from, now unknown. Returning to the cities during the turmoil of the civil war, Slade found himself back collecting information, looking for allies, seeing who would be the best to support in the war. Ties to Caesar could be rekindled, if need arose.

Weaknesses: Slade is a pathological planner through-and-through; so being placed in a situation where he’s in unfamiliar territory, or facing an unpredictable opponent, will put him on the backfoot psychologically. This disadvantage will show in his combat, making him slightly less confident and more sluggish. Slade has few allies, and thus is unlikely to have anyone back him up in a combat scenario, and one should plan ahead of this. Slade is also slightly physically weaker than most people, and though this can be supplemented through technique, one should try to overpower him where possible.
