He was born and raised in Bree, his family slowly dying all around him. His sister when he was five. His mother when he was nine. And his father, who he loved so much, died at the hands of a corrupt Watchman when Mandic was eleven. He vowed vengeance, but over the years of hating the Watch, realized that it could be good, and, in fact, had good people. But it did have its share of bad people too. So he did something that he thought he never would have done. He joined the Watch. Over the years all the time he spent taking brigands off the street, he put in just as much trying to cleanse the Watch, from the inside out. He is known as one of the primary weapon trainers of the Watch.
