Goran Atiin was born on Shogun and trained by his father to be a deadly supercommando. An expert marksman and formidable infiltrator, he participated in the defense of Shogun from Mandalore Cadden Blackthorne and his Mandalorian Protectors. While defeated, he admired Blackthorne's powress in battle, and swore his loyalty to the new Mandalore, an act that was soon followed by the rest of his clan.
