Mandalore the Hammerborn

"Remember that some of the greatest Mandalores were born or grew up far from our homeworld. [...] Mandalore the Hammerborn grew up in the alleys of Kol Atorn, learning accented Mando'a from the emigrants and exiles who had settled there."

- A Death Watch manifesto

Mandalore the Hammerborn was a Mandalorian warrior who claimed the title of Mand'alor, the traditional leader of the Mandalorian clans, at a point in time during the Mandalorians' long history. Growing up in the alleys of Kol Atorn, Mandalore the Hammerborn learned to speak Mando'a —the Mandalorian language —from the Mandalorian exiles and emigrants who had settled there, eventually developing the local accent. Mandalore the Hammerborn was remembered by his people as one of the Mandalorian culture's greatest leaders.
