Hod Ha'ran

"Hod Ha'ran, the trickster, agent of fickle fortune..."

- Tor Vizsla

Hod Ha'ran was a deity in the ancient Mandalorian religion. Known as a trickster god by the early Mandalorian people, Hod Ha'ran was viewed as an agent of the fickle nature of fortune.

Over time, worship of Hod Ha'ran and the other Mandalorian gods, like Kad Ha'rangir the destroyer and Arasuum the sloth-god, fell into decline. The Mandalorians turned to the singular worship of war itself for a time, before turning their backs on those beliefs as well as the centuries passed. However, Hod Ha'ran and the Mandalorian gods were not completely forgotten: millennia later, Death Watch founder Tor Vizsla spoke of Hod Ha'ran and the ancient gods in a manifesto he prepared, and by 19 BBY, the Mandalorian soldier Kal Skirata knew of their former place in Mandalorian mythology.

Behind the scenes
Hod Ha'ran was first introduced to Star Wars canon in the bounty hunter reference book The Bounty Hunter Code: From the Files of Boba Fett. Co-authored by Daniel Wallace, Jason Fry, and Ryder Windham, the book will be released October 15, 2013.
