Jango Fett was a human male bounty hunter, widely regarded to be the best in the galaxy in the years preceding the Clone Wars. Although Fett wore a set of Mandalorian armor during his time as a bounty hunter, the government of Mandalore regarded him as a renegade and pretender. Recruited by the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus, Fett was relocated to the remote planet of Kamino where he served as the genetic template of the clone troopers for the Grand Army of the Republic. Unlike Fett, his clones lacked much of his independence, as they were designed to be entirely loyal to the Galactic Republic. Fett had only one request for the Kaminoans: the creation of Boba Fett, an unaltered clone whom he would raise as his own «son.»
