History
Shaka was practically born into Mandalorian culture; His parents had been killed mere months after his birth, and the infant Zabrak was found and taken in by the human Drevas Kotas, who raised the baby as his own. Instructed in the ways of the Mando'ad, Shaka's already instinctive warrior virtues were strengthened by the resolve he attained through his rigorous training. As he grew older, he decided, like many of his people, to become a bounty hunter. He became revered for his prowess, being called a savage but cunning predator.
