STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
+Aim Small Miss Small+
Kaden has spent much time learning to be an excellent marksman. He rarely misses, but is not the same level of a sniper.
+Strong+
The nature of every Mandalorian is to be strong. Kaden has developed his body into that of as close to physical perfection as possible.
+Agile+
The man spent years in the Netherworld. This brought about the need to develop agile and quick responses.
+Good endurance+
Survival makes this a thing which makes everyone do what it takes. For Kaden this means conditioning his ability to endure what would make others quit. Endurance is one thing Kaden has learned through trials.
-Too Old Too Fast-
Kaden’s life forced him to grow up faster than any child should have to. At the age of ten most boys were still learning to shoot weapons, Kaden was already fighting in war. The robbed childhood has left him lacking in imagination. His only place for it is how to kill people.
-Rushes into trouble-
He never thinks about what he gets into. Kaden has always jumped into trouble head first. His passion and anger have always driven his decision making, and much of the time it leads to poor decisions.

BIOGRAPHY:
Kaden is a lone survivor. His parents were killed in the destruction of Manda’yaim and the child rescued by an elder of his clan. They escaped with many to Dxun and reformed with Vilaz and his attempt to rally his people once more. Life was not easy, but through the help of many, and the people acting more as one than their individual clans, Kaden began to develop his skills as a young warrior. Kaden seemed to excel in hand to hand combat more than other areas. Perhaps it was his name, or the pent up rage he had buried deep within himself, but he was ferocious in the pits. Often he had to be reminded the battles were simply training exercises, though he still ignored them. This led to several of the hunters taking him out on their hunts. If his resolve was to kill, then they would put it to use for the good of the outpost.
War came, and it came fast. Word of the Liberator came to Dxun, and most ignored her. There were those who wanted to kill her, and Kaden found his way onto their ships. He was now a stowaway, until found, but none saw the need to return him to Dxun. They knew it was moot point. Kaden’s young life was full of nothing but the desire for revenge. He knew nothing else… Over time he would learn...
The Mandalorian Civil War would become a defining moment in the young life of the Farr child. It was during the first battle where he met [member="Yasha Mantis"] and [member="Silas Mantis"]. The older Mantis had lost his arm, and Kaden helped cauterize the wound. It left a lasting impression, but also led to Silas taking the young boy as his ward. Silas allowed the boy to take on the Mantis name as the orphan no longer had a clan to call his own.
Yasha and Kaden proved to be a handful for Silas, constantly sneaking off to fight, or hunt. Eventually they would form the Echoy'la Solus a group of young Mandalorians who participated in the Civil War as their own strike team. It was during the last battle their strike team was disbanded. Yasha's injuries nearly killed her, and their reason for joining together was no longer there. The Liberator, as the false Mand'alor called herself was dead.
They would all heal from their injuries only to see another change in life. Yasha and Kaden were put under the guardianship of Yasha's tutor Baiko. It was difficult for Kaden at first, but it was for the best. A once rocky relationship to begin with turned to one of mutual respect.
Everything changed with Yasha's verd'goten. Her goal was to capture the Warlock Gate and reactivate Mandalore's defense grid. For reasons unknown to Kaden both he and Yasha found themselves in the Netherworld. They would spend seven years there only to be returned to the exact moment they left. While nothing around them had changed, they had grown and aged.
Not long after returning, events transpired which led to Kaden and Yasha exchanging their riduurok. Their meeting with [member="Gray Raxis"] had proven pivitol in that decision. The blind Mando’ad had brought them both to that place, and helped bring healing from the hellacious nightmares of the Netherworld which had continually hanged their sleep.
Their love would not last. Yasha was consumed by war, and unwilling to accept what the role of Mand’alor truly meant. However, a child was born between them, and on the eve of her birth Kaden was captured by pirates. Those close to her had taken to her ear and convinced the Epicant that Kaden had abandoned her, when in reality Kaden had been overlooked by the rescue party. He spent months in a dark prison until he managed an escape.
With his body broken he made it to Dxun where he holed up to recover in the barracks which had once belonged to the goran, [member="Kad Tor"]. It was there he was found by his own and reconnected with Yasha. It was would prove brief as in the few short moments where they had actually been able to talk, she called their riduurok broken and denounced her love for him. They would say he died of a broken heart, though the truth was toxins had seeped in from an infection. The high emotion was too much for his weak heart, and it simply gave out.
Kaden found himself coherent in the Netherworld once again where fe held out for the change he can escape, unwilling to simply fade into nothing. The creatures he fought as a child hunted him, but as he did then, the son of anger has proven difficult to destroy. The crack he formed in Sinner’s Rue is still there, and his eyes searched for it often as a reminder that if there is a way in, there is always a way out.
The way out would come in a manner that Kaden did not expect. Something deep inside the Netherworld reached out to Kaden, a darkness that he could not place. It was as though it were a seductress luring Kaden into her trap. In many ways that was an apt description. The closer Kaden got to the darkness the more he realized there were ways to reach the land of living. His spirit found some who were receptive, and doing as instructed managed to find the means of escape for him and Mother Darkness.
