Rhux grew up far from Mandalore. His father Jax and several of his friends left Mandalore before he was born, traveling the galaxy accepting any jobs they could. Rhux would learn many things from this group of Mandalorian mercenaries; from combat to frontier diplomacy and honor. Upon reaching the age of 14, he began to participate in some of the easier jobs. By the time he was 20, he had more combat experience under his belt than most did in a whole lifetime. He was competent at many skills of warfare and had spent considerable time piloting starfighters as well.
When Rhux was 25, his group accepted a security contract for the Trade Federation protecting their cargo ships from pirates. Several days into this new venture they faced a credible threat. As skilled as these warriors were, they faced a tough opponent in trandoshan pirates. The pirates disabled the freighter they were protecting and engaged the Mandalorians in battle. They fell one by one until Rhux was able to carry his critically wounded father into an escape pod. Together they escaped before the Trandoshans could finish them off. As they fled, Jax succumbed to his wounds, bequeathing his ancestral armor and a mission to Rhux. Rhux was to never let his guard down, and return to Mandalore before he met his end.
Rhux would continue mercenary work after this day, accepting jobs that would take him closer to ‘home.’ He would make few friends on his journey, often opting to work alone. Only one companion would stick around, the venerable Zenmo.
His adventures would take him to Corellia. While looking for work on the planet he would find an irresistible job. A local gang leader needed 6 people to take out his competitor. He joined a mixed crew and they were all given different assignments. He was to go with a Kyuzo named Zenmo to secure a power station controlled by their target. Upon eliminating the guards and completing their objective they returned to their comrades. Upon reaching the rally point they discovered their ‘comrades’ in talks with their target. The other 4 immediately opened fire on them. Caught so suddenly Rhux and Zenmo had no choice but to escape. After they reached safety and got off-world, they made a pact to always work together, as they both seemed to be honorable dependable men. They worked together for nearly a decade before the Clone Wars broke out, and at the commencement of hostilities agreed to work for the republic as it seemed like a good opportunity.

Quest: Purpose;
Needs to return to Mandalore, as per father's final wish. Having never visited, Rhux finds it important to not only honor his father's wish but to see it for himself. Mandalore has produced countless warriors over the eons. He aspires to be like others before him such as Jaster Meerel and the True Mandalorians, following the tenets of the Supercommando Codex. He accomplishes this by taking jobs, earning money, and acting honorable on all contracts; always following through. Eventually, with enough earnings he can buy his own starship, and return to the homeland.
