Kotii was born in 119 ABY (84 years after the battle of Exagol) into the warrior life of an Old Mandalorian with mix of Corellian ancestry and at least Echani genes. Kotii has never pursued the specific makeup of his biology in his youth since it never much mattered among Mandalorians.

The tribe with which he grew up with kept to itself and hidden in the Krownest system. They always were ready to move at a moment's notice and would sometimes migrate to Concord Dawn and Ordo system for a few years if not an entirely different part of the galaxy. Most of the time however the Clan stuck together in Mandalorian space. The warband consisted mostly of Solus clan members but all shared an allegiance to the Alor of House Solus.

While not holding strictly to the Way of the Mandalore, Kotii was taught the importance of identity and anonymity. The 'Rage of the shadow Warriors' was among the first and foremost of old songs and stories that inspired the young Kotii into becoming an effective hunter and tracker. Pushing himself at an early age, he also received harsh encouragement from his parents. The honor of the clan and its well being was held first and foremost.

To this day the wonderous tales of how the Mandalorians had conquered the galaxy and faced unimaginable odds interest Kotii. With many years hopefully ahead of him, Kotii has traveled far from home in search of his own destiny. However the origins of his alias are a mystery to most. Some say it is because of the blackened beskar vambraces he wears, others say its a nod to his skill as a deadly fighter, while others claim it has to do with some stigmata. Perhaps it is because of the Blackwell heavy blaster pistol he was known to wield. Black Hand is a name he has had since becoming a full fledged bounty hunter. It was easier for him to go by that alias rather than 'mando' and helped him better for the purposes of a reputation since it was a bit easier to remember than Kotii Solus.

Hard to read can be a common way of describing any Mandalorian. For Kotii, it can be even more difficult. Reserved when among outsiders and simply stoic when among other Mandalorians. The man still speaks often enough to give credence to the reputation of the Solus Badger attitude. Kotii can be as aggressive as he can be considerate when it comes to something of importance. The man will sit in silence and share quiet company and also be a smiling brawler in a lower level cantina. Viewing the world with a pragmatic, if not ruthless, perspective has only been reinforced by these difficult times and aren't likely to be changed anytime soon. In his most recent years he has suspected there is arkanian elements to his genetic makeup. This has led him to self identify as an 'echani-offshoot'.

With a powerful build and fast reflexes, Kotii is a Mandalorian in the prime of his life if not fast approaching it. The dangers of the outer rim have not only be known to the badger but have been his adversary. Combat is a part of life and the Mandalorian has had some fair experience in almost all aspects though he favors surprise attacks and covert intrusion just as much as overwhelming force.

NPCs

Aden Solus. His best friend and co-pilot.

Aezzairrfhowrrhudrrl - Senator of Kashyyyk and a Wookiee of honor.
Akalenedat - A Mandalorian Sector Ranger that assisted in the looting of Dryden Vos's Savareen home. Associated with Srucayr and the ODY.
Arthos Vizsla - A rising Loyalist Mandalorian who Kotii regrets not being closer to who is now his enemy.
Boroth Nazzat - A strange gladiator who held their own in the arena before Kotii lost consciousness from blood loss.
Casany Praxor - Fellow Mandalorian, leader of clan Praxor. She has a strong resolve that is only matched by her tenacity, a kindred spirit.
Crix Dolan - A Syndicate smuggler who came through when delivering a shipment of scatterweave for House Solus.
Draco Virtus - Sector Ranger and coworker to Zad and Klepti. Met on Tatooine around campfire.
Drak Vulfur - A reliable Mandalorian who showed up to assist in killing Zyggerian slavers and one of their monarchs.
Elkras Arrieta - Another prisoner of the Hutts who managed to be freed alongside Kotii. (technically never met him sober)
Etr Wyara - A young addition to the rebel mandalorians.
Fenyang - A selfish former Mand'alor and one of the worst people in the galaxy in Kotii's opinion. Responsible for the split among the Mandalorians and becoming loyalist Mandalorians.
Hailee Lightwood - A Jedi who helped Hauron in freeing Kotii from imprisonment and execution. How close is she to Hauron?
Hauron Solus. Rebel Mandalorian and Kotii's adopted son. (used to be NPC)
Dr. Ilana Morata - "Doc" who provided Kotii with an advanced cybernetic after saving her life from AMS infected.
Gatt'se Vizsla - A responder to the Tragedy on Mandalore and seems decent...for a Vizsla. Unclear if they are loyalist or a rebel.
Grace Zann - She is ambitious but perhaps different than past leaders of the Zann Consortium.
Kara Lock - Fixer and business arranger met on Byblos.
Katherine Stargazer - A peculiar young girl who went from lost stanger on Tatooine to something of a daughter to a Queen of Rattatak.
Klepti Uutkik - A peculiar Jawa Sector Ranger met on Tatooine with Draco and Zad.
Leonas Tannaras - an ex-jedi who was hired to help break Kotii out before he could be executed by loyalist Mandalorians or Sith.
Laren Vano - Member of the small Vano clan, quixotic, enthusiastic, hopefully reliable.
Lex Solus - A younger member of his clan who has stuck by the rebel Mandalorians through hardship and shares in Kotii's lamentations.
Lorcan - Apparently an Ex-Ranger that is for hire, but a rather loud merc. May be worth looking into.
Minerva Wren - A promising member and possible future leader of clan Wren if she from hiding.
Mysha Kelborn - Warrior, Armorer and lover, Kotii doesn't get to see Mysha as often as he would like. Sometimes he calls her , 'nadala nynir' affectionately.
Mystery Syndicate Thief - AKA Basilisk, worked with them once on Byblos, didn't get a name. Hired by Kara Lok.
Narpoo - An Ewok representative who came to meet with the rebel <andalorian group.
Nor'baal Desilijic-Faathra - The Hutt lord is as much of a slug as one would expect, the hatred is mutual.
Nox Solus - Previously a Loyalist Mandalorian brother in arms and kin, now Nox is the Mand'alor and seeks to kill Kotii, or worse.
Pellios Reverence - An old Devaronian pilot and arms dealer that works for the Syndicates and also does freelance work.
Praxx Skirata - A bullheaded and hot tempered rebel Mandalorian warrior who may get himself killed before he can make a difference.
Rakiss Vano - The older brother to Laren Vano making them a clan of 2? Perhaps a bit more level headed than his brother.
Reiel Mal Crowholde - A valued friend and fellow Mandalorian who helped free Hauron from slavery.
Reshelle Solus - A former sister, now a Loyalist Mandalorian loyal to Nox Solus and the Sith agenda.
Romeo Solus - One of the younger Mandalorians whom Kotii has seen take the initiative, for better or worse.
Rrodossk - Senator of Trandosha and not likely someone Kotii will trust soon but he may prove to be a useful associate going forward.
Ruus'all Solus - A battle bard in beskar and fellow rebel Mandalorian that has come through for Kotii several times.
Shale Vizsla - Bounty Hunting Loyalist Mandalorian who is a bit of a mystery.
Skyorn Naskar - Eager to prove himself, he may not have the best judgement when it comes to tactical warfare. Member of ODY.
Song Wren - A Loyalist Mandalorin whom Kotii was stuck with for awhile on Tol Amn. They moved past their differences and gained respect for one another before escaping the planet together.
Srucayr - A disgraceful dar'manda, who is responsible for killing his own people in a false flag operation on Mandalore. Former leader of ODY.
Thane Veren - A Loyalist Mandalorian that responded to the ODY skandle and loyal to Nox
Tysjor Maspat - A member of the Pike Syndicate who seems to have a logical business attitude, though still not fully trust worthy.
Vala Darakis - A spunky if not hot headed rebel Mandalorian who has no love for the Sith.
Van'aria Solus - An ambitious loyalist Mandalorian that despite her associations, continued to help Kotii until recently, even freeing him from captivity.
Valfreyja Tysdottor - A striking duecalian warrior hired to help recover some assets. Reliability uncertain.
Vidha Solus - A Mandalorian with unclear allegiances. Possible a loyalist or a rebel, she has helped both sides of the House since its divide.
Zad Ruzed - Sector ranger and decent associate met on Tatooine.
Zaia Krodas - A fellow rebel Mandalorian that is reliable and has come through time and again.



C O N T R I B U T I O N S

This is for ease of tracking Kotii's contributions to House Solus assets. These are not personal property of Kotii but are considered more or less available to the loyal badgers of Clan Solus. Other contributions from other members of House Solus can be added for shared availability. This may differ from assets represented in other trackers or writeups since Kotii is currently in a civil war with other Mandalorians.
