Biography
Like many other Mandalorians, Mij was birthed and raised under the Mandalorian code, dictating honor and discipline above all else. The Eldar clan, which had ascribed to martial traditional, had been exiled from Mandalore following the conclusion of the Mandalorian Civil War in 990 RE. Mij would be born the same year, birthed under cover of chaos and darkness.

When much of the Eldar clan escaped to Vlemoth Port in 991 RE, Mij was among them, helping form a large part of the population in the coniferous forests and rolling foothills of the planet. From a young age he was raised with a blaster in hand, beskar in mind, and Mandalorian honor at heart. His skill became noticeable rather quickly, however, the blaster practically acting as an extension of the arm. There were rumors as far as Arumorut of the child's skill, and some claimed him to possess the ancient powers of Mandalore's worst enemies: Jedi.

When the force users finally came for the child, now no older than age four, unease spread across Vlemoth Port. There were those who wished to cut the Jedi down where they stood, those who wished to make amends, and those who wished to make a quick credit by stealing the ancient protectors' blades. There was no one more uneasy, however, than Mij's mother. Having lived through the civil war, grieved over her husband's death, and heard the rhetoric of the fanatics on Concordia, she knew that giving Mij up would put him in the crosshairs of Death Watch, but was also aware that by keeping him she risked attracting the wrong kind of attention.

And so the decision was made that Mij would leave Vlemoth Port, though the creed of Mandalore and the culture of the planet had left distinctive marks on the child. He was taken to the planet of Coruscant, taught in the temple alongside the other younglings of Clawmouse clan, and trained in the way of the Jedi.
