A'tin Bes'ulik Ordo was born 3,963 BBY during the Mandalorian Wars. His father was a key figure in the Mandalorian forces, and left him with their Mother, Kaiyn Ordo. She was forced to leave the cruiser Night of Fire and take him to a safer place. At the time, the Mandalorians were openly engaging the Republic, and Kaiyn didn't want her newborn child to be killed. She fled the cruiser, taking only a small ship with her. As she raised her child, he did not have a father, and was not raised as most Mandalorians were. Under constant pressure, A'tin was raised under harsh conditions. The Mandalorian Wars spread wide, and affected many Mandalorian planets.
