Mandalore the First

Lord Mandalore was the warlord of a warrior race in Star Wars expanded universe. Those warriors, escaped from their exploting planet, wandered the galaxy searching for the only thing they appreciated: to fight with honor. When Mandalore fighted Ulic Qel-Droma, Sithlord and apprentice of Exar Kun, and was defeated, he became the most loyal servant of Qel-Droma. When he fell in the battleground, one of his warriors took his helmet and stablished the order of Mandalorian Warriors, taking the name of Mandalore II. This tradition would continue until the time of the schism.
