JASTER MEREEL A native of Concord Dawn, Jaster Mereel was a respected Journeyman Protector until his rigid ethical code led him to kill a corrupt superior. Charged with murder and exiled, Mereel soon after became a Mandalorian shock trooper and. eventually, their chieftain. His strong morals, however, caused a rift in the Mandalorian ranks, resulting in civil war. After almost a decade of infighting, the Death Watchman Visia on Korda Six gunned down Mereel. Years after Mereel's death, his legend lives on. When Boba Fett gained notoriety, his appearance and methods gave rise to rumors that Mereel was alive and well, and was merely using "Boba Fett" as an alias. It's more likely, however, that both Jango and Boba Fett used the name "Jaster Mereel" as a pseudonym from time to time to honor this great Mandalorian.

Jaster Mereel, a deeply pious human and extraordinary soldier, immediately noticed a deep seated dissatisfaction in the hearts of many a hard-boiled Mandalorian. As a former Journeyman Protector, Mereel brought a strong ethic that extended far beyond the limited Mandalorian ideology of fighting for credits. His prowess in combat earned him the respect of his peers, and when Mereel fought tooth-and-nail to become reigning Man-dalore and unite the disparate clans, his ideals became the foundation of a new creed: the supercommando Codex. Not all agreed with Mereel's ideas, however. Many bloodthirsty and amoral Mandalorians resented him, having enjoyed the unaccountability of their mercenary lifestyles. Among them was the soldier Vizsla, who gathered the dissenters into a splinter group, the Mandalorian Death Watch. Mereel's supercommandos, in turn, recast themselves as the True Manda-lorians, and total war ensued. The Mandalorian Civil War not only killed Mereel and Vizsla, but it also nearly destroyed the Mandalorians. Only a handful of Death Watchmen survived the superior organization and skill of the True Mandalorians, hiding out in the Outer Rim for decades. The latter, though, were totally wiped out when the Jedi were duped into thinking the True Mandalorians had wrought grave atrocities on the population of Galidraan. Only one True Mandalorian, Jango Fett, survived, and he later became the primary donor for the Republic's clone army.
