Biography

"This doesn't end here!"

- Jono Kreed, after sealing the blast doors to face the incoming horde allowing his vod on the other side to escape and complete the mission.


Little is known about the history about the man and some say even he has little knowledge of who he was before donning the Mandalorian helmet. There are even rumors that the mercenary known as Jono Kreed isn't just one person but an alias used by multiple beings. Which isn't too difficult to believe as no one has ever seen Kreed without his helmet...at least none alive. In fact there are even records of the name Jono Kreed buried deep that date back to the old republic era. But if that was true it could only mean that either Jono Kreed belonged to a race with an exceptionally long life span or the rumors are true and Jono Kreed is just an alias.

Old Republic Era

Rise of the Empire Era

"I didn't so much as joined up that I was sort of drafted into service..."

- Jono Kreed, on becoming a Mandalorian Protector.


Around this time Kreed operated as mainly as a soldier of fortune who worked for the highest bidder. It was also around this time that he ran afoul of a mercenary group known as the Ailon Nova Guard. And due to a number of incidents with this fanatical group that Kreed was pressed into service of the Mandalorian Protectors.

The Hidden Valley Incident near Kyrimorut, Mandalore

Near the end of the Clone Wars members of the Manda'galaar Aliit were invited by their vode from Skirata Aliit to Kyrimorut a remote stronghold in the northern hemisphere of the planet Mandalore for training maneuvers. It was during the patrol of the wild lands when the Ver'alor of the Skirata Clan A'den Skirata received a message from Spar the current Mand'alor at the time, that there had been reports of Death Watch activity in the area. Acting as lead scout Kreed used his skills and battery of technology to pinpoint and locate the Death Watch patrol encroaching onto the Skirata Bastion.

Since the incident was on Skirata Clan soil A'den took charge using guerrilla tactics to quickly harass the Death Watch into a canyon. Knowing their end was near the Death Watch patrol tried to electronically pass on the location of the bastion back to their superiors. Luckily Kreed was able to thwart their attempts through use of his jamming equipment. Then combining their strength the two clans were able to successfully defend the territory.

Rebellion Era

"You're my hero if you pay on time!"

- Jono Kreed, to a client.


During this time Kreed operated mostly in the Corporate Sector running espionage and information retrieval jobs for the various corporations located in the systems.

New Republic Era

New Jedi Order Era

Legacy Era

Physical Appearance

Personality

"Or'dinii."

- Complete Lunatic, a Mando'a word often used to describe Jono Kreed.


Wildly erratic, unorthodox, and quite unstable are just some of the words used to describe the Mandalorian known as Jono Kreed. In the same sense this is also his strength in which it makes him an extremely unpredictable opponent. Constantly trying to think of himself first and foremost, he tends to say he's just looking out for number one yet time after time Kreed finds himself doing whatever is possible to help others around him despite the dangers. He seems to have some sort of moral code but that too varies depending on his moods.

Talents

"Out of all the beings in the galaxy the one I most do not wish to fight is the mandolorian known as Kreed...every move he makes is unpredictable as if he is chaos personified..."

- Unknown Jedi, right before Jono Kreed disposes of him with a sanitation plunger.


A very competent hand to hand expert as well as possessing a wide knowledge of firearms, Kreed has developed a formidable reputation as a mercenary of great skill. Shows a great aptitude towards work involving surveillance and sabotage. A combination of a special operations agent and mercenary Kreed has worked with many black operations and espionage units in his sordid career he tends to work alone and actually prefers it that way. Not to say he cannot work well with others quite the contrary Kreed has shown an amazing ability to think on his feet and work out tactics on the fly, utilizing the strengths of his own forces and the weaknesses of others. It is often that his tactics are so outlandish and unpredictable that he usually catches his opponents off guard.

Equipment and Weapons

Helmets

Armor

"A warrior is more than his armor."

- Mandalorian Proverb.


Kreed's Mandalorian Shock Trooper Armor is made of the typical metal alloy known as Mandalorian iron also known as beskar typically found in Mandalorian made armor with 2% ciridium, a substance usually included on top grade Mandalorian armor. Due to Kreed's special skill set this armor features a special stealth technology which shields him against detection that effectively renders him all but invisible to sensors while on reconnaissance, infiltration, espionage and information retrieval missions. This stealth system is constantly tinkered with and upgraded so Kreed can operate at maximum efficiency. The armor features a careful layering of segmented armor plates which also ensures optimal mobility. Throughout the years the green and brass armor has been repaired and repainted.

Kreed also wears a trepennit hide impact vest with a micro energy field projector and two layers of thin armored plates which disperses physical and blast impacts. The power liner also gives him an increased protection from fire, acid, intense heat, and cold. Underneath he wears a tan environmental desert armorweave suit with a reinforced armor mesh. The inner lining of the suit blocked both poisons and corrosives for a period of time and is waterproof as well. On his forearms Kreed wears a brown and black pair of vrblther hide gauntlets.

Weapons

"The secret to blasters is to know which end of the barrel to be standing at."

- Jono Kreed, on proper blaster usage.


Shook Custom Hand Cannon

The Shook Custom Hand Cannon is a custom built short barreled carbine rifle designed and used by the mercenary Jono Kreed. The grip and the forestock of the weapon are made from rare laroon wood. Comparatively compact and easy to aim compared to some of the other carbine rifles on the market, the hand cannon is exceptionally useful during close quarter combat, especially from unexpected angles. Named after the carnivorous Shook native to the planet Carratos, the hand cannon's functions are perfect for Kreed's guerrilla fighting tactics. The custom carbine features two settings a stun mode where it discharges electrical bolts capable of stunning most living targets and an impressive lethal mode in which it fires green bolts of charged plasma energy which can easily rip through body armor. Another attribute of the weapon is its considerably solid durasteel plating in which it could be improvised as a melee bludgeoning weapon without fear of damage.

Beskad

Among Kreed's vast arsenal of weapons he possesses a black bladed beskad which he very rarely employs and has thus used it only on special jobs involving more than one jedi. If anything it's more of a display piece in his collection. But do not let it fool you, he is just as deadly with it as he is with any of his other weapons. Unlike the typical beskad it's not made of Mandalorian iron or durasteel, but cortosis a material which possesses the ability to temporarily deactivate a lightsaber blade it made contact with. The blade itself is sharpened on only one edge and starts off looking like a simple farming or growth clearing tool, but near the end it forms into a wicked axe like blade. At first glance one could see this was no mere weapon of elegance and grace but a cold brutal tool for slaughter. The weapon is said to date back to the time of the Old Republic.
