You want to know about me? The name’s Cyrus Curoth. I was born to a pleasant little family on a pleasant little planet in this not so pleasant and not so little galaxy. I’ll admit I made trouble as a kid. I was a boy with too much testosterone and not enough things to do. I played war with my friends, we would use sticks and pretend they were blasters, I got suspended in school for picking fights and as I got older….well I was still getting in trouble for picking fights at school but now was making many a girl’s father angry at me for….spending time with their daughters. After I finished school I just couldn’t see myself staying on that little planet so I joined up with a private security firm hoping to get a transfer anywhere other then my home city. I spent a good eight years with Orion Security working as a bodyguard at first, then the company started branching out into mercenary work. The war games that I played as a kid was no longer a game.

The first time I saw battle I had a blaster rifle shoved into my hand and I was pushed out the doors of a armored transport. I’ll be honest, skill didn’t save me, it was pure dumb luck. I had nightmares for weeks after that. It got easier though, I don’t know if that’s a good thing or bad. It was only last year though that my life took a rather painful, but good turn though. Orion Security stopped making any gestures at being private security and solely focused on being a mercenary army. We were deployed by the boss to secure a laboratory that had been seized by a contingent of Mandalorians. I’ll be honest, I was so scared I practically pissed my pants when I heard that. We all knew of the Mandalorians, they were legendary. But my pride….and more importantly my paycheck rested on fighting them. The battle went as well as you’d expect when a mercenary army outnumbers Mandalorians five to one….in other words we were getting slaughtered. I don’t know how it happened but I got separated from my squad and stuck behind an old crate that was left from before the lab getting seized by the mandalorians. I had at least three or four people firing at me and all I could do was blindfire at them. Then I heard the sound that every soldier hates, the click of an empty blaster pack. I reached down to reload and my stomach flipped, I was out. I was stuck behind a box with no ammo. I held my rifle by one hand and pulled my bootknife. I jumped the cover and sprinted at the enemy, chucking my useless rifle at them and trying to lunge with the knife. It didn’t end pretty. I remember putting a decent scratch into the helmet of one with the blade, then I remember getting hit by blaster fire.

I woke up what I was told a day or so after the battle. I was on a military cot in a small tent. A man walked through the door wearing the traditional mandalorian armor. I grabbed the closest thing I could, a helmet, and chucked it at him. I tried to run but the pain from my wounds brought me down before I made it to the door. The man stretched out his hand and helped me up, handing me the helmet. I recognized the helmet by the deep scratch in it as the one I had hit with my knife the day before. He then spoke the words that changed my life forever. “Here’s your new helmet and your new life. You’re one of us now ner’vod”

So you wanna know about me? I’m Cyrus Curoth, a 28 year old man who enjoys women and booze. I’ll fight like hell and enjoy it. I'm a crack shot with a rifle and I'll put a bullet between someone's eyes from a mile away. I’ll party all night and wake up with a splitting headache but be happy because I’m with my brothers. I’ll honor my new traditions and support my people. Because more importantly then being Cyrus Curoth…..I’m a Mandalorian.
