Clan Zaad can trace its founding to the Neo Crusaders of the ancient Republic era. They fought under Mandalore the Ultimate against the Republic in the Mandalorian Wars circa 3978 BBY, where they were tasked with seeking out, obtaining and preserving force relics and religious/spiritual texts of various force using sects, so that the crusaders would better be able to combat their force wielding foes. After their defeat at the hands of the Jedi Knight Revan, the Mandalorian clans were scattered, but clan Zaad continued its mission to seek out these relics and texts. They eventually secluded themselves in a remote part of the mountains of Concordia, and there they built a secret archive to store everything that they had accumulated. It is from this mountain retreat that the clan would continue its mission unnoticed for thousands of years, carefully avoiding the major events of the galaxy throughout that time. Over time, with the accumulation of more and more relics, texts and information, the clan became steeped in force mysticism, and slowly began to exhibit force sensitivity due to their constant contact with such items and information.

By the time of the Mandalorian Civil War, the clans numbers, which had always been small, had dwindled down to only a few family groups, but with the influx of Old Mandalorians and other exiles from the war leaving the new Mandalorian regime, the clan was able to find new strength in numbers as many chose to settle on Concordia, eventually making contact with the lost clan. These exiles brought to the clan a renewed interest in the Neo Crusader Creed of old, and reinvigorated Clan Zaad, spurring it to join back into the events of the galaxy. However this process was slow, as the mysticism that ruled the daily life of the clan tended to keep them secluded, even when venturing through the galaxy on their archaeological expeditions. It took the events of the Clone Wars and the massive shift in the Force to finally spur the clan into action. Axim Zaad had grown up during the Clone Wars, and thus did not get to venture out as much as the clan had before the start of the wars due to the outer rim sieges and the like. As a result Axim threw himself into studying everything he could in the archive, and even making trips to Mandalore itself to access various libraries and archives. His natural intelligence combined with an ancient Mandalorian upbringing and a life surrounded by objects and texts of the Force instilled in Axim an unquenchable desire to bring back the Neo Crusaders of the past and liberate Mandalore and eventually the galaxy at large.

With the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire, the balance of the Force has shifted, and the clan has felt this shift. It is now time for Mandalore to rise again and take its place over the galaxy. Axim, being the most naturally gifted in the force of all of the clan, has been chosen to seek out vergences and nexuses of power that might aid the clan in their plan to revive the Mandalorian Crusades. Knowing that his small clan only has limited resources at the moment, Axim knows that he will eventually need to enlist the aid of outsiders to fulfill his missions, but for now he is content to search alone until the right allies present themselves. He knows that the fate of Mandalore now rests solely with him, and that failure means doom for the old ways, the true ways, of the Mandalorians. He will succeed, whatever the cost
