Clan Rook/Legends

"Tayari Rook claims to lead his own clan! He destroyed my clan with his slander, then dares to raise up his mishmash of slavers and pirates and call them 'Clan Rook'! And no one has challenged them!"

- Akaavi Spar

Clan Rook was a false Mandalorian clan led by the criminal Tayari Rook, who made unsubstantiated claims of being a Mandalorian, himself. The so-called Clan Rook was comprised of a number of pirates and slavers that served under Tayari Rook, operating as a clan of Mandalorians by killing or dishonoring any who would expose the truth of their organization to the true Mandalorians, who would be honor-bound to kill the pretenders. Clan Rook and its leader were responsible for the downfall of Clan Spar, a real Mandalorian clan that Tayari Rook slandered in order to gain a favorable contract with the Sith Empire. Members of the Mandalorian Lone clan joined with Clan Rook after they were dishonored for not aiding Clan Spar when the Sith came to capture and execute them. Clan Spar's only known survivor, a female Zabrak by the name of Akaavi Spar, eventually learned of Tayari Rook's involvement in the death of her people/ She tracked the group to the planet Nal Hutta where they were camped, working jobs for the Hutt Cartel, and attacked, killing Tayari and any member of Clan Rook that didn't escape her assault.
