"You had us outnumbered five to one. You had more ships, more troops, more supplies and the Jedi on your side. And we still made the Republic tremble before we fell!" Canderous Ordo

Canderous is just the broest bro in all of Kotor. He doesn't care what your allegence is, he's got your back. Another great video man 😊

Glad Canderous's Legacy lived through the next Eras, as thousands of years later, Clone Trooper Null-11 was named "Ordo" after the Mandalorian Leader

"Our spirit may have faded...but it hasn't died yet. It will burn bright again *like a star in the heavens* !"

- Canderous Ordo

Canderous was truly an interesting character. Despite being a mass murderer who killed everyone who stepped in his way (including women and children), you can only feel admiration for this guy due to his great charisma and evolution during the game through his conversations with Revan, Carth and Jagi. He was basically the Vegeta of Star Wars.

"You want to hear tales of my exploits? Of the wars I've seen and fought, the enemies I've seen die by my hand? Heh, sure, I'll humor you." - Canderous

This man has some great tales to tell you in the first game, his first time with a basilisk war droid being my favorite. Too bad we weren't there to see them.
This was some pretty darn good information and I greatly enjoyed the video!
But I will say that the one thing that really "bewildered" me about his unique armor, are the tubes that go from his mask and just..end on his back?
Preserving that air are we?

Canderous is one of my favorite KOTOR characters. He is also the man that got me into appreciating and delving deeper into the mandalorian culture as a whole. Hell a character I've made that I'd absolutely love to play in any of the star wars ttrpgs is a descendant of Canderous. He is a character that I absolutely love and I can only hope that he remains true in the upcoming remake.

Canderous is the Garrus of KotOR. Or given the timeline that the games were released I suppose its more accurate to say that Garrus is the Canderous of Mass Effect. Just your ultimate bro that will stick with you no matter what based on a deep mutual respect.

In Kotor 2 right before you go to Onderon after doing ‘Mandalore’s’ chores- he mentions “Clan Ordo”

Canderous Ordo is Mandalore

[georgemercer]

If the Darksaber existed during his life, it would've perfectly complimented his armor and leadership of the Mandalorians making him similar to King Arthur:

His armor and helmet would've been the regal robes and crown while the Darksaber would've been his equivalent to Excalibur

[Mannyduude]

Playing out this whole story in my head honestly brought me to tears 😭

[PR-xmzc]

Man I just realized Wrex is just the Mass effect version of Canderous, there story's are almost identical, you meet both of them as war vets working as mercs, and in the second they are leading their people

[AndreNitroX]

These are the epic stories that Star Wars is meant to be

[FoggyPigeon]

Also how cool is it that Canderous may well have been the first being in the galaxy to have seen the yuuzhan vong. At least one of their ships anyway.

Canderous was always one of my favorite Mandalorians. I always loved listening to his stories in KOTOR 1 and I loved his armor in KOTOR 2. I did love how he got the mask in the Revan novel. I remember one time when I was playing the Smugglers main story had finding his skull on an Imperial treasure ship. I hated the Sith Empire for that. I would have preferred if the Mandalorians were allies to the Republic like Canderous tried. That would have made SWTOR very interesting and the Great Galactic War probably would have been a Republic victory. I mean I know the Mandalore at the time was an Imperial puppet, but I'm just saying it would have been interesting. I also loved the speech Canderous said in the cut content in KOTOR 2, if Revan was light side, about what Revan told him was coming before he left. It gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it.

My answer to the question: through blood, guts, glory, faith, and persistence. Also, being a different kind of Mandalorian compared to the others.

Canderous along with T3 M4 and HK 47 are the most loyal characters to revan

[gamechanger]

Recently finished the Revan novel, and to summarize it Canderous and Revan went to Rekkiad since Revan had the mask hidden in Lord Drammath's tomb, though meeting Canderous old clan, clan ordo Canderous had to kill his wife since she learned he was actually with Revan, after finding the mask Canderous was willing to venture with Revan into the unknown regions to regain a bit of memory and stop an unseeing threat, that was Darth Vitiate, Revan told him to stay with his clan and lead the Mandalorians just in case said threat was too powerful, and the Mandalorians would be able to protect the Republic from the outside threat, he became Mandalore the preserver.
