Korkie Kryze, a Mandalorian human male, was a cadet of the Royal Academy of Government on the planet Mandalore during the Clone Wars. A scion of House Kryze, Korkie was born into the Mandalorian political family of his aunt, Duchess Satine Kryze—leader of the New Mandalorians. As civil war spread across the galaxy, fought between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, Korkie endeavored to follow in his aunt’s career as a leader for the next generation of Mandalore. Though the Mandalorian black market conspiracy was exposed by Korkie and his friends, resulting in the arrest of Prime Minister Almec, the future that he had been groomed for was disrupted by the Death Watch takeover of Mandalore.
