Only a selected few knew the identity of the new Mandalore, as he never took off his armor and helmet in the presence of others, not even while sleeping, according to rumors. So Canderous took the helmet for his own and returned to the Mandalorian outpost of Dxun, one of the four moons of Onderon. Besides the whereabouts of the helmet, Revan told him the truth about Mandalore the Ultimate and their Sith allies, that his people had been tricked and that all along the Sith had been behind the choice of challenging the Republic. Also, he was left with instructions to unite the clans and prepare for a new war. Revan told his friend Canderous Ordo to unite the Mandalorians before he left for the Unknown Regions and told him where to find the mask.

I told you in the Bastila article that Revan was left for the Unknown Regions to examine a dangerous thing, but left his friends back, because that could have endangered them, too. Canderous himself, after the Jedi Civil War, did not think the clans as they were could return any time soon.

They gradually evolved and changed into a culture of wandering mercenaries without their Mandalore leader. Their dissolution is completed when Revan hid the mask of Mandalore, preventing a new leader from rising. I introduced you Canderous Ordo previously, so this time we will focus on the life and the happenings that had happened to Canderous after he finished his adventures with Revan, and I will try to tell you how he became the leader of the Mandalorians.Īfter they were defeated by Revan in the Mandalorian Wars, the Mandalorians as a united culture were destroyed, their weapons and armor taken and destroyed, and they were exiled on the Outer Rim. :-) But anyway, Canderous IS the Mandalore in KotOR2! I wouldn't have even thought - the man under that silver helmet is none else, than Canderous Ordo from Kotor1! He became a bit older, okay, let's say a bit more experienced. It was depicted the Mandalore without his helmet. But one day one of my friends sent me a picture. I thought he is a faceless, and nameless character, the actual leader of the Mandalorian clans.

When I first played Kotor 2, I thought Mandalore is SOME leader of the Mandalorians. There were many Mandalores in the history, but in this article we will study the Mandalore of the game Knights of the Old Republic 2. The leaders of the Mandalorians are typically titled and called "Mandalore".
