Kasdeya Malek was an Iskalonian female, born on Iskalon, and forced into slavery at the age of 15. She was stolen before she was ever put to work, however, and grew to maturity, hidden on Tatooine. Later she would meet Vhe'tra Skytower, a Kata Alor'ad, and eventually marry. Influenced by her husband, and adopted father, Kasdeya took up the Mandalorian way of life, and was accepted into Kata.
