Vi Kairo (Pronounced 'Vee KYE-Roh') is a Mandalorian mercenary, former Pirate, and member of Mando'ade. Though biologically Anzati, Vi is the genetically modified and cybernetically enhanced product of a failed initiative to create a force of genetically superior cloned soldiers over half a Millennium ago. He is known to be mentally and emotionally unstable as a result of excessive experimentation with his genome.
Kairo is a veteran mercenary, participating in countless conflicts over his centuries of life, including the Clone Wars and the more recent Mandalorian Civil War. He pledged his rifle to close friend Kai Oryk in Year 11 CGT, shortly before Oryk claimed the mantle of Mand'alor.
He has briefly taken command of the mercenary forces of Mando'ade, serving as Al'Ori'Ramikade in Kai's absence, and later acted as steward of sorts until the return of Anto Bajur, to whom Vi relinquished leadership with gusto. Despite his aversion to responsibility, Vi has served as second-in-command to both Oryk and Bajur at times, with far more success than his forays into leadership.
Biography
Early Years
Vi was created in the year 640 BCGT by a cabal of well-funded Khommite cloners and a Kaminoan Geneticist. His birth and formative years took place in the austere and decaying halls of a deep space installation that served as their base of operations deep in the heart of the Rishi Maze, far from the prying eyes of the Republic.
Though one of several thousand prototype clones, only 5 others shared Vi's genome as alterations made it difficult for the Khommite to produce viable embryos. Dubbed "Resh Squad" and numbered Resh I through Resh VI, the 6 were one of hundreds of groups of experimental failures. Nevertheless, Resh Squad and the other unviables were educated and trained, a long term study to identify alterations with the potential to produce superior combatants, and those that produced unintended effects.
From Resh and the other experimental batches, the Khommite hoped to create a class of officers and specialists. Among the group's enhancements were several that would increase strength, situational awareness, and intelligence, while resisting the formation of emotional bonds between soldiers. These in particular backfired, and Resh was beset with numerous psychological issues. Their heightened perception, greater intelligence, and emotional manipulation a perfect storm that produced a squad too distant, calculating, and untrusting to act as a unit but wracked with violent psychosis and delusional episodes.
Life on the station was bleak and violent, most often short with a grim conclusion. Children were raised by disinterested droids, fed the bare minimum in the form of tasteless nutrient paste, and underwent hours of intense physical training and combat instruction each day.
Failure of any sort resulted in a clone's genetic template being eradicated, and living examples "recycled." Competition between clones was fierce and violent, encouraged by staff who felt it identified the most successful modifications and eliminated weak links. Ambushes in hallways and classrooms were frequent. Boys crept into sleeping quarters in the dead of night armed with makeshift shivs to quash rivalries,
At the age of 20, a fourth of the way to Anzati adulthood, Resh squad's emotional detachment made them prime candidates for Commando training. For 10 years the 6 clones studied warfare under a contingent of mercenaries from all over the galaxy, learning from Echani Duelists, Ubese Mercenaries, Gand Findsmen, and Anzati Assassins.
At the culmination of this training, the clones received their first and only visit from their mysterious benefactor, Dark Jedi Riga Kasmir, the Anzati from whom their DNA originated.
Kasmir's eventual plans for the Clone Army remain unknown, but upon his visit to the station he chose to accelerate some portion of his schemes using the Special Forces trainees. Resh Squad and the others, 240 in all, were transferred to the Galaxy proper and began operating behind the scenes under the instruction of the Dark Jedi.
