Description

"My name is Braxen of Clan Gotha. And you, chakaar, murdered my kin on Concordia!" - Braxen Gotha to Gar Saxon on Concorde Dawn. 

Name: Braxen Gotha

Age: 19

Species: Human (Mandalorian)

Homeworld: Concordia

Affiliation: Rebellion (Mandalorian Cell, AKA 'The Wronged')

Bio: Born on Concordia during the Clone Wars, Braxen's Clan was known for being Moderate in the situation between the Death Watch and the New Mandalorian Government. After the Clone Wars ended in 19BBY, Mandalore was occupied by the Empire, and the people were forced to serve the Imperial Regime of Sheev Palpatine, who installed the dishonorable Gar Saxon as Viceroy of the Mandalore System. And it didn't take long for the power hungry Saxon to begin a slow, but brutal elimination of those opposed to him. And unfortunately, one of them was Clan Gotha. 

After convincingly assuring the clan that they will not be harmed, on 10 BBY, Gar Saxon and his Imperial Mandalorian Supercommandos arrived at Clan Gotha's Compound on Concordia. After spending two weeks there, Saxon sprung his trap while Clan Gotha was asleep. His Commandos slaughtered most of their fellow Mandalorians while they slept, while the others members of Clan Gotha, awakened by the blaster fire and the death cries of their brethren fought back, however by then, it was too late as the last of the Gotha Mandalorians were annihilated. However, not all of Clan Gotha was killed, as by the protective will of his mother, Braxen survived.

The morning after, Braxen came out from hiding to find all of his kin dead, while the only that remained of the attackers, was the helmet of one of the Imperial Mandalorians. The young Mandalorian breaks down, mourning the deaths of his family until he's eventually discovered by a group of fellow Mandalorians from Clan Wren, led by Count Wren, a friend of Braxen's parents. The Count rescues the orphaned Braxen, and takes him back to his home on Krownest. After informing his family of the situation, Braxen was adopted by the Wrens, as per Mandalorian Custom and as a way of honoring the boy's late parents. It was also on that day, he made friends with Sabine Wren, and her brother Tristan. 

As the years go by, Braxen had become accustomed to living with the Wrens, despite their past ties to Death Watch, training and eventually forming a bond with them and seeing them as family, while developing feelings for Sabine. However, it didn't last long, as after Sabine headed to the Imperial Academy on Mandalore, and was manipulated into making weapons for the Empire who then used them on Mandalorians, prompting many Clans to label her a traitor, and forcing her to leave. However, Braxen never believed that Sabine would willingly betray Mandalore. However, to his and Sabine's horror, the rest of Clan Wren turned their backs on her. 

When the young Wren fled Mandalore, betrayed and hurt, it was not long that Braxen followed her example, after he finished forging his armor, while donning the refurbished Super Commando helmet that was recovered, Braxen decided to form a Resistance Cell on Mandalore against the Empire, made up of those who were wronged, framed, or mentally wounded in some cases. His cause became more personal, as he soon found out the true perpetrator of the Concordia Massacre....the Imperial Viceroy of Mandalore, Gar Saxon. He also planned on finding Sabine, to help her and assure the now exiled Wren that she wasn't alone.

It would be until the Rebel Phoenix Squadron's mission to Concorde Dawn that he would get that chance.  

Artist Note: Yeah....a LOOOONG time since I've uploaded a Mandalorian OC. If any of you are history buffs, I based the Massacre of Concordia on the real life Glencoe Massacre, which took place in Scotland (Look it up). And yes, in case you noticed it's a bit of an OC/Sabine pairing, because in the recent episode, Legacy of Mandalore, Ezra is starting to become a little bit annoying. Anyway, all rights belong to the original creators of Star Wars, and Disney.

Good job both drawing Braxen and describing his backstory.
Personally, I'm more annoyed over the fact that Concord Dawn had a third of it turned into asteroids. Really, Disney? If Mandalorians really could pull crap like that off, the Empire wouldn't need Death Stars, they'd just hire Mandalorian mercenaries to blow up planets and save credits in the process.
