Canderous Ordo, a renowned Mandalorian warrior, played a significant role during and after the Mandalorian Wars. Initially fighting against the Republic, he later became a mercenary on Taris. When Revan, under a new identity, arrived on Taris, Canderous joined him, impressed by Revan's prowess and leadership.

Together, they embarked on a mission to find the Star Forge. After the defeat of Darth Malak and the destruction of the Star Forge, Canderous returned to the Mandalorian ways, seeking to reunite his scattered people.

Under Revan's guidance, he became Mandalore the Preserver, aiming to restore the honor and strength of the Mandalorians. Canderous Ordo's loyalty and martial skills were crucial in Revan's quest, and his leadership helped shape the future of the Mandalorian clans.
