Vevec

Vevec was a male Mandalorian soldier, and father of Tes Vevec. An experienced fighter, Vevec was a loyal supporter of Mand'alor Chernan Ordo, whom he followed to the planet Botajef in 127 ABY to engage the Imperial Army of Roan Fel's Galactic Empire. During the battle, Ordo was slain and the traitorous soldier Yaga Auchs usurped the title of Mand'alor. Auchs issued a retreat, and pulled the Mandalorian supercommandos off world, abandoning Vevec and his former son-in-law, Hondo Karr. When Karr revealed Auchs' betrayal to Vevec and his plan to escape death at the hands of the overwhelming Imperial forces by donning the armor of fallen stormtroopers, Vevec understood the importance of exposing Auchs but refused to discard his Mandalorian armor to avoid death. Instead, realizing the likelihood that the troopers would not believe they were Imperial, Vevec chose to aid Karr in establishing his new identity by pretending to attack him in his acquired trooper armor within view of the approaching Imperials. Vevec was subsequently shot by a nearby stormtrooper who saw only a Mandalorian attacking a downed ally, and because of Vevec's actions, Karr was welcomed into the Imperial unit, Joker Squad.
