Bo-Katan Kryze was born into House Kryze and became Mand’alor during the New Republic Era. Throughout her life, she held various positions within the Death Watch terrorist group, including commanding officer of the Nite Owls subdivision. She also led the Mandalore resistance and claimed authority over her homeworld. Bo-Katan’s history is intertwined with that of her sister, Satine, who was the pacifistic Duchess of Mandalore. This caused conflict between the siblings, as Bo-Katan believed Mandalore should embrace its warrior past and joined Death Watch. When Governor Pre Vizsla of Concordia was exposed as the leader of Death Watch, the group was exiled from Mandalore. Later, Kryze and Vizsla teamed up with Sith Lords Maul and Savage Opress to reclaim Mandalore. They formed the Shadow Collective, which united several criminal syndicates and overthrew Satine’s rule. Vizsla then took control of the planet.
