The Red Wrench of Burkhart Kelborn
"<"Yeh, well when you're dumb enough to get a rep like me ya tend tah keep a look out for anyone that wants ta take ya down a peg. Bull rushin the sith academy on korriban was about as dumb as it gets an not the type of thing that is easily forgotten...among other thangs.">."
- Burkhart Kelborn to Daz Solus
Sometimes the most mundane items have the most interesting histories. A VersaTech Comsowrench for example owned by Burkhart Kelborn has passed hands for millennia and found a home time and time again. The resilient cortosis weave finish still holds true to this day, or so the rumor goes. Whether its owner knew of its past or not has varied just as much as the people that have possessed it.
The first owner and reason for its fame is the Mandalorian , Burkhart Kelborn. He rose to the rank of Field Marshal when serving under Raz Solus, A.K.A. Mand'alor the Chosen. He betrayed his comrades and led the Kelborn clan to form the Kelborn Cartel. This wrench accompanied the morling during his life.
Burkhart used the wrench both as a practical tool for its intended purpose but also in combat. On occasion it even was used to defend against lightsabers and vibroblades along with other weapons. It came to be used as a weapon and in many cases took the lives of countless individuals. The whereabouts of the Red Wrench are rumored to be somewhere on Cerea though it could easily have since been forgotten about just as easily as held as a center piece.
Intent
I wanted to add more depth to the mandalorian culture and to make use of an object from one of my past characters. @TheDudeMike wants a "monkey wrench" and a mando artifact seems like the perfect thing. This also will have some chance to have a vibe for any force sensitive with psychometery or that type of thing.
