'''Anto''', of the Mandalorian clan [[Bajur]] and formerly of the Kiffar clan Tka, is currently a leader of the [[Mando'ade]].  Prior to suffering from the Derra Virus which turned him into a Sanyassan, Anto was a Kiffar.

==Early Life==
Born on Kiffex, Anto's parents fled the chaotic planet with their son in tow while he was very young.  They settled on Marrovia, an agricultural world in the outer rim, which erupted in civil war a mere year later.  Both of Anto's parents were killed in an anti-immigrant riot, though their young son managed to escape by hiding in a nearby pile of waste.  He sat in stunned silence, shaking in fear, as he witnessed the mob beat his parents to death with clubs, pipes, and rocks.  

He turned to living in the shadows and alleyways of the planet's capital, surviving off of garbage and whatever he could steal.  He managed this way for several years, when pirates raided the planet, taking advantage of the planet's chaos.  They occupied the capital for weeks before a group of mercenaries, hired by a group of the planet's elite from both sides of the conflict, hired a mercenary company to come and liberate their world.  The mercenaries were fierce and quick in driving off the unprepared pirates, and Anto was impressed by their capability and strenth.  When they left, he managed to stow away on one of their vessels.

The mercenary, a Rodian named Rolo, was the one who discovered Anto as he was trying to steal food from the galley.  He took pity on the young Kiffar, and convinced the chief mercenary, a Wookiee name Captain Wrrafla, to allow him to remain.  Anto spent a decade with the mercenaries, keeping their weapons and performing odd chores, but also in physical training and bettering his proficiency in all manner of weapons.  When Anto turned 16, Captain Wrrafla assigned him to a unit and allowed him to begin accompanying the company on assignements.

Though he established and maintained ties to a few individual Kiffar, he chose never to settle on Kiffex, nor did he take any interest in the unrest caused by the [[Black Sun]] and the Kiffar people's own politics.

==Member of the Mando'ade==
Anto was brought to the Mando world of [[Argovia]] by his childhood friend, [[Vorso Bel]].  Though he resisted at first, Anto eventually adopted the Mandalorian way of life as his own and was adopted by [[Wer Bajur]] into the Bajur clan.  In doing so, he gave up his Kiffar heritage and became an Austerder in their eyes, even going so far as to have his Qukuuf removed.  

He rose quickly in rank and esteem among the [[Mando`ade]], working his way up in the organization until he became a close friend and adviser of Mand'alor [[Kai Oryk]], and filling a vacancy left by Vorso, who had left the day to day business of the Mando`ade in favor of an administrative job on Argovia.  Anto was an active participant in the [[Battle of Karedda]] and became an outspoken critic of [[Tyr DeMeer]]'s rule of the Mandalorian government on [[Mandalore (planet)|Mandalore]].

He led Mando'ade as Al'ori'ramikade during a period which saw Mand'alor [[Kai Oryk]] missing in the unknown regions.  Upon Mand'alor's return, Anto happily stepped back into his role as Ver'alor.

==Derra Virus==
Shortly after the galactic outbreak of the Derra Virus, Anto was infected, and he was transformed from a Kiffar into a Sanyassan.  He was shocked and appalled at his new appearance, and gradually established a reputation for never being seen outside of his armor.  He retreated further into himself, shunning the company of those closest to him.  This culminated in his departure from active leadership of the Mando'ade, ostensibly in order to focus his attentions on his clan.  He drifted from job to job and pursued several failed financial projects, including establishing his own independent ship yards, which never proved profitable.  Seeing his ventures fail, he gave up hope and decided to retire, moving back to Bajur Oriya on the planet Manda to live out his days in quiet.

==Other Projects==
Anto is the creator and maintainer of the [[Mandalorian Census]], a list that keeps track of all known Mandalorian clans in the galaxy.
