Mirli Lok

"I convinced Luth to come with me. I showed him we could no longer follow Vizla. We are warriors, we should be taking our fight to Zakuul, not the worthless machines on Darvannis. Vizla may be Mandalore, but Zakuul left no other challengers. Maybe this is her way of thanking them. I know there are others who feel the same, who will come with me too. There is a king who will let us hunt on his world. It is swarming with beasts the mightiest of us could only imagine. We can finally meet worthy prey again. The fool king wants tribute from our quarry, to slay offworld creatures and bring them to him from time to time. In return, he will leave us to hunt in peace. The di'kut doesn't understand that acquiring his "payment" will bring us the honor we crave. When we leave, Vizla will say we are not Mando'ade, and those sheb'urcyin who have forgotten what that word means will agree with her. But if what she has made us is "Mando'ade," then I want no part of it. I will be ash'ad. I will be someone else."

- From the journal of Mirli Lok, leader of the Ash'ad

Mirli Lok was a female Mandalorian warrior who lived during the Third Galactic War. A survivor from the near devastating lost Clan Lok suffered at the hands of the Eternal Empire during the Eternal Empire conquest where Mandalore the Vindicated was killed in battle, Mirli and survivors of her Clan for a time followed the dozen clans that came to be under the leadership of the new Mand'alor, Mandalore the Avenger, but it would be later on that it become apparent that Mirli was growing dissatisfied with the Mandalore's leadership and for whatever reasons shown to her, had become convinced that it was not in her's and that of her Clan's interests to follow her. So when the Clans were planning the Raid on Darvannis, Mirli and her followers abandoned them and they came to the world of Onderon, thus they were marked as dar'manda by the rest of the Mandalorians.

Mirli and her followers would form the Ash'ad, under an agreement with the current ruler of Onderon, King Iziz/Legendsas being used, still members of her followers could be seen in the Royal Hunting Lodge. But it would be around the Third Galactic War that things changed for them, during the Mission to Onderon (Third Galactic War) Shae had discovered their location, sending her people in the city of Iziz, Mandalore would later task the Alliance Commander in hunting down the Ash'ad in the jungles of Onderon, the Outlander eventually found them and in a attack on their camp, Mirli and her followers were killed and their Mandalorian armor were stripped from their bodies, sending a message to the clans that Mandalore the Avenger will not tolerant betrayals or cowards dearing to call themselves Mandalorian.

Equipment
Mirli wore dark green and brown Mandalorian armor with bone plating, styling herself quite closely to the Mandalorian Crusaders. She wielded a beskad and often mixed built in weaponry in her armor such as carbonite freezing, retractable wrist blades, and other gadgets.
