- - Smith, not Warrior: The Quartermaster can fight, like all Mandalorians, but she is far from the best of warriors among them. More skilled in the Forge than in the Battlefield, it has led to doubts of her authority
- - Afraid of the Fight: The Collapse and genocide of the Mando’ade have left the Quartermaster with serious mental trauma, and she is afraid of consigning more Mandalorians to their death, especially now in the fragile state of Mandalorian culture.

The Smith
Born Alea of Clan Varad, the Quartermaster from the beginning was not like the other Mandalorian children. While her peers were drawn by the blaster and blade, she found herself entranced by the fires of the forges, the way the sparks danced from the melting ores, and how the smiths turned raw components into something that was more than a weapon, but a work of art.
New Bralsin was a medium-sized town of multiple clans, with Alea’s Clan Varad being one of the smaller, lesser-known clans, their fame and glory long-faded many millennia ago. Alea was one of the few who chose to take the path of the forge, and she quickly took to the trade, becoming a full-fledged smith by the time she came of age. She would go on to work in the forge for most of her life, aspiring for the coveted title of ‘Forgemaster’ that was granted to the few whose capabilities went above and beyond.
During her time, she stumbled upon a relic of ancient past -- the King’s Fall, a weapon forged in the aftermath of the Vong wars. It had fallen into disrepair over the centuries it had lain, forgotten, but Alea was able to fix it into working condition. Passing the weapon off as her own, she was granted the title of Forgemaster at the age of only twenty, one of the youngest there had been. Yet, she kept the true secret of the weapon, its powers, and origins, close to her heart. And when the time was right, she rehid the pistol where she would hope that a weapon of such vengeance would never see the light of day.
The QuartermasterShe had lived several decades as a metalsmith in New Bralsin when the Sith suddenly came. As fire rained from the sky, Alea did her best to defend her home and people. She may have not followed the path of the warrior, but that did not mean she was useless, and a great many Sith troopers fell over her furnace. Yet the day was lost, and Alea was barely able to escape the planet.
From there, she staggered herself to the ancestral home of the Mandalorian culture -- Roon, setting herself up in a cave along with several other survivors that had made it out with her. They were rag-tag, lacking food, weapons, and virtually anything else that they had taken for granted on Mandalore. But they recognized that they were still alive, and so they got to work to create a place safe for the remnant of Mandalore.
And they called it the Enclave.
