VERY INTERESTING: DIN DJARIN

 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about

DIN DJARIN

Din Djarin aka "The Mandalorian", also sometimes called Mando, is the titular protagonist of the Disney+ original series The Mandalorian. He is a reputed Mandalorian bounty hunter operating at the time of the New Republic some years after the fall of the Galactic Empire. 

During one of his huntings, he met a mysterious Force-sensitive infant named Grogu of the same species as Yoda nicknamed "The Child", who happened to be his target with whom he formed a close bond and to seek to protect at all costs, putting him in conflict with other bounty hunters as well as the surviving Imperial Remnant that had originally hired him

. Din is an "adopted" Mandalorian, since he wasn't born on Mandalore. Despite this, after defeating the Imperial Remnant’s leader, Moff Gideon, the Mandalorian then acquired ownership of the Darksaber thus making him the rightful ruler of Mandalore.

Background

In his youth, Din Djarin lived with his parents on an unidentified planet that was victim of a separatist attack in which his parents lost their lives by protecting him. A super battle droid flushed him out and would have killed him without the intervention of Death Watch. This tragic event remained in his memory years later.

Some time later, he joined a Mandalorian clan called "The Tribe", settled on a volcanic world. When he was old enough, Din pledged allegiance to the Mandalorian creed, thus becoming one of their own and acquired armor and weapons from his new people, before joining the Bounty Hunters' Guild. In 9 ABY, five years after the destruction of the second Death Star and the final defeat of the Empire, the Mandalorian had gained an excellent reputation as a bounty hunter, which provoked the jealousy of other members of the Guild.

He once teamed up with two mercenary Twi'leks, Qin and his sister Xi'an, and things went very badly between the three of them.

Personality

Competent and dangerous, this bounty hunter is able to be ruthless and merciless to those he tracks or those who put themselves on his way. He is constantly alert and will draw his weapons if he feels as though someone is about to attack him. Endowed with a morality more than doubtful, it is difficult to surround his facial emotions because he never removes his helmet.

Solitary and somewhat antisocial, the Mandalorian has a respectful relationship with the Mandalorian Armorer who is also aware of the fact that he is an orphan, he is also able to show great respect towards someone who earns his trust, like Kuiil whom he even offered his gratitude when the Ugnaught has at the same time refused a payment and also to becoming his partner.

Mando deeply respects the creed of Mandalore, just like the rules of the Tribe, that is to say: never removed his helmet in front of a living being even if his life depends on it and would prevent anyone from doing it--although he found a loophole by allowing IG-11, who was not alive in the first place, to remove it to heal him. He strictly adheres to the creed no matter what the situation is, even when breaking it could very well save his life. Initially, like the other members of the Children of the Watch, Din had a low regard for Mandalorians who did not cover their faces as he does, not considering them true Mandalorians. 

This changed however, after fighting alongside Bo-Katan and her crew, coming to accept them as true Mandalorians despite their different belief systems. This also encouraged Din to bend the rules of his clan occasionally, knowing now that they were not the way of all Mandalorians. At one point, he lifted his helmet partway off in front of Grogu so he could sip his soup, and he later changed out of his armor completely to disguise himself as a stormtrooper, albeit still not showing his face until he absolutely had to.

Beneath his stoic exterior, the Mandalorian is, in truth, a bit of a tortured soul who is plagued by the memories of his parents’ death and the destruction of his village. Watching his parents and people slaughter in front of him by battle droids as a child has left him with a near pathological hatred and distrust for all droids: deadly or not. 

Even after IG-11 was reprogrammed by Kuiil, Djarin still refused to trust it feeling that the droid was bound to turn on them at some point. However, after IG-11 saved him and sacrificed itself for him, Grogu, Karga, and Dune Djarin came to realize he was wrong about IG-11 and thus was able to overcome his hatred of droids. Despite being more use to their presence, Djarin does still have some issues when dealing with droids, though nowhere near to the extant as before.

Due to having been an orphan himself, he seems to have a deep sympathy for the other orphans and this same sympathy also extends to "The Child" who was initially a target for him, caring first of his security only to get his payment for it evolves to the point that he risks his life and betray the guild to save him from these employers. 

As time goes on, the Mandalorian grows to care about the child’s well-being to the point that he was willing to leave him at the village on Sorgan, believing that he could live a happy life there. After the child was officially made a foundling by the armorer and the Mandalorian was declared as his father, his care for the child started to become parental. By the time they met Ahsoka Tano on Corvus, Djarin had come to regard to child as his son. 

After learning the child’s name of Grogu for the first time, Djarin even found himself laughing and enjoying the time he spent with him showing how positively Grogu was influencing his character. After Grogu was abducted by Moff Gideon, Djarin was determined to rescue him, so much so that he even reluctantly broke the Children of Watch’s code of never revealing their faces to others, despite being left ashamed and disturbed by what he had done. 

When the time came for Djarin to hand Grogu over to Luke Skywalker’s care, Djarin was deeply saddened of having to let his adopted son go to the point of removing his helmet and shedding tears, showing just how much he had come to love Grogu.
