Info: Born before his father's leave as a Cuy'val Dar, Jabo'a knew the warrior life from a very young age. His parents seperated, and he spent six months with each until three, when he spent all of his time with his father who trained him not only as a warrior, but heir to the chieftainship of the clan. He grew up around the clone troopers, especially the ARC Troopers whom he was fond of. The ARC Troopers took to him as well, amused by a birth-born Mandalorian child. It all ended however, and once the Cuy'val Dar were not needed, Jabo'a and his father returned to Concord Dawn. He saw his mother again for the first time in years, and he continued to grow as a warrior. Soon, however, things became chaotic. The Empire invaded the Mandalorian worlds, and very quickly, things were turned upside down. His father was killed, and leadership was thrust upon him at the age of ten.
During this time, he appointed another, Rao'si, as the temporary Chieftain to act in his place until he reached proper age. He grew around his fellow warriors, learning from each the ways of his clan, the ways of the Journeyman Protectors, and the ways of the Mandalore. He soon went off world for a time, during the Empire's most devestating offensive against the Mereel clan, to learn from other species and other warriors. Upon his return, the Mereel's began a massive counter-offensive. Using superior fighting skills and the terrain to their advantage, the Empire was quickly overwhelmed to the point that Concord Dawn dedicated forces abandoned the campaign and focused solely on Mandalore.
For a time, life returned to normal on Concord Dawn. Jabo'a assumed the role of a Journeyman Protector, and at the age of twenty assumed his role as Chieftain, as well as accepting his promotion to Chief Journeyman Protector. When the occupation and enslavery on Mandalore came to light, Jabo'a quickly changed tones. More warrior training went underway, and the Journeyman Protector were not only expanded but refined into a group of equal skill to the ARC Troopers. Various units were drawn up for creation if the time called for it, but none were made into a material good. Over time, a less passive way of life has come about for the Mereel clan. From simple farmers, they are a people on alert and ready to fight if need be. Every citizen is a Mandalorian Warrior, and a call has been made for all Mereel clan Mandalorians to return home. In the mean time, Ja'boa refined his fighting skills, achieving what he perceived as the closest to perfection he could achieve without war, becoming one with his mind, body, and spirit.
He proceeded to travel to Mandalore, to view the state of of the world following its liberation. There, he reminded some of the Mandalore-based clans of the Mereel fighting ability, and educated some of them in their ways. He ended up pledging Concord Dawn's loyalty, once united, to the Mandalore. He then returned to Concord Dawn, and massed an army to take on the Fett allied rebels. The massive, cataclysmic battle that was bound to occur on the Concord Dawn plains, was avoided by Mandalore in use of ancient traditions, something that Jabo'a respected. Since then, he has been working on social and cultural unification on his homeworld after over a millenium of division. Over the next few years, he spread the old ways of the Mandalorians throughout Concord Dawn, to the point that it was the only idealology on the world. He was known for commanding loyalty thruogh respect and/or fear, and he became well known for his fury and rage in battle. He brought his clan to the front of those that fought against the Empire, at great cost. In fighting the Empire, he has lost both of his wives and three children. These tragedies have only increased his fury and rage, and given birth to a deeply seeded hatred of the Empire. Now having coped with the loss however, he is looking to rebuild his family.
