Background

He was part of Clan Salka until the purge from Clan Xerton happened.
He learnt old traditional Mandalorian values and was part of Clan Salka's family business, a special training facility. He learnt all the stuff quite a long time ago and worked as an instructor. After he saved Rom from doing something stupid after they figured what happened They roamed around in the galaxy working as bounty hunters and mercs, until eventually some weapon's trading deal he secretly did went bad. He sent Rom to an old friend that turned out to have joined the Alliance by that point and he himself wandered around, trying to disappear as best as he could. His last stop at Jomark was probably too long. Luckily the proximity to the Lantillian Sector and the presence of Clan Xerton, who are still hunting Rom and Arkon, made Rom act and he found him first.

Motivation

Guilt: Arkon is motivated to keep his troops alive due to the guilt he inevitably would feel guilty if they died under his command and is also still driven by nightmares, guilt and shame for the ones who lost their lives under his command before. He spends many waking hours analyzing his choices and orders, as well as the events surrounding them, in an attempt to assuage his anguish for the lives he’s lost.

Duties

1600 - Field Training
In his older days, he was a instructor. He learnt things and learnt how to teach things. Passing on knowledge and teaching the younger ones a trick or two and let them benefit from his experience is his first goal.
