Paz Vizla was a human male Mandalorian who was a member of the Tribe during the reign of the New Republic, living in a hidden enclave. Despite the fact that the Galactic Empire had fallen, Vizla held disdain for the regime and anyone affiliated with it due to the Great Purge.
When the bounty hunter known as the Mandalorian used Imperial beskar to create his armor, Vizla confronted him. The altercation was broken up by the Tribe's armorer. Vizla and other members of the Tribe later protected the Mandalorian from a number of bounty hunters, allowing him to escape to his starship with a child he had rescued.
Biography
- "Our world was shattered by the Empire, with whom this coward shares tables."
- ―Paz Vizla
During the era of the New Republic, Paz Vizla was a member of the Tribe, residing in a Mandalorian enclave on a volcanic world. Due to the Galactic Empire's Great Purge against the Mandalorians, the Tribe were forced to remain hidden in their enclave.[1] In 9 ABY,[2] Vizla witnessed the bounty hunter known as the Mandalorian enter the enclave with a camtono of beskar. Vizla and several other Mandalorians watched as the Mandalorian gave the beskar to the Tribe's armorer, intending to create armor from it. Vizla inspected the beskar, which had been taken by the Empire during the Great Purge. Accusing the Mandalorian of cowardice, Vizla attacked him, and the two got into an altercation. As the two held their vibroblades at each other, the armorer broke up the fight, reminding them of the Way of the Mandalore. Vizla stepped aside, allowing the armorer to forge armor for the Mandalorian.[1]
Paz Vizla used his heavy weapon to protect the Mandalorian.
Some time later, the Mandalorian was confronted by a number of Bounty Hunters' Guild members led by Greef Karga after he rescued a child which he had previously delivered to a client as a bounty. Karga intended to kill the Mandalorian if he did not hand over the child, but the members of the Tribe arrived to protect the bounty hunter. Vizla landed near the Mandalorian, shooting down a number of bounty hunters with his blaster cannon. Turning to the Mandalorian, Vizla told him to escape while the Tribe held off the bounty hunters. The Mandalorian stated that the enclave would need to be moved due to the Tribe's interference, and Vizla cited the Way of the Mandalore. The Mandalorian escaped to his starship, the Razor Crest, and managed to leave the world. As the Razor Crest left the world's surface, Vizla flew beside it with his jetpack and saluted the Mandalorian, before turning back towards the ground.[1]
