"Life...is tough, no matter the path you walk. You have to be tough as beskar to be a real optimist, to look at the bright side despite the garbage piled on you day after day - and you have to be scum to be completely apathetic, to have every redeeming trait of sentient life cleanly exorcised out of you. You have to find the middle ground. It's the best that men like you and I can really do.

We walk that ground every day. A dozen of us fight for a dozen different reasons, against men with drives and goals not entirely unlike our own. Fighting for the sake of fighting, because it's all we know. When we walk into politics, we mess it up; we're warriors, fighters, not talkers. Some of us try to do good, but more often than not, we have to settle for not making things worse than they already are. We do our best, and we hope it's enough.

Men see my armor, and they know that I am Mandalorian, and they pass me off as a thug, as a brute mercenary who doesn't care about anything but himself. It's us Mandalorians versus the galaxy. Together, we stand alone in a galaxy that despises us, and it lets us know it every chance it can get - and it really weighs down on you after a while. You grow tired. You grow cynical. You just stumble from one battle to another, hoping, waiting for something.

And then, one day, fighting in a war for a reason you don't understand or a cause you don't believe in, on a side you can't say for sure is better than any other, you stumble across a town. Somebody else beat you there. The men are dead. The children are crying. The women are taken.

And then you remember why you picked up a gun in the first place, and you run out to bring those kids' mothers back to them."

— Dante Erinith

Dante Erinith, otherwise known as Aegyl Seraf, is one of - if not the only - Echani currently operating publicly in the galaxy. Born and raised on the desolate planet of Rhen Var by an Echani mother and a Mandalorian father, he adopted both cultures as he grew up, and to this day struggles to balance the two out as he makes his way in the galaxy. Once he became of age, much of his life was spent in battle on the many battlefields of the galaxy prior to his father's disappearance and his mother's untimely death.

Raised on stories of the Galactic Empire, however, he took the earliest opportunity he could find to join up with them, believing them to be a force of great good. While initially facing great difficulty due to his race and a lack of social graces, he eventually joined the Imperial Army, serving in a variety of capacities in the First Imperial Legion for four years. Over this time, however, he came to see what he viewed as the 'true face' of the Empire and became greatly disillusioned, coming to the realization that the Empire he had grown up believing in was nothing more than a well crafted lie.

Betrayed and finding himself fleeing from the Empire's agents after being dishonorably discharged and declared a traitor, Dante re-examined his loyalties, and over a course of years came to the conclusion that he would never again blindly follow another. Since then, he has explored the galaxy with only a few companions and assets to his name, becoming an assassin and mercenary for hire in the less civilized and known areas of space and making a point out of remaining 'just another face', staying away from the affairs of the social elite.
