Tan'ek Trant'tu

Born near Keldabe, Mandalore to Szess Trat'tu and Meera Rogge at the Prosstang Estate in 50 BBY, Tan'ek was one of five children. Between 300 and 200 BBY, the Trat'tu had been titled land a few kilometers distant from the Prosstang Estate, where they would raise crops and become known as one of the most productive farming families in the Clan Prosstang. Tan'ek sought adventure from his early years, and heard of the exploits of the Clan Chieftain's son, Ferrigo Prosstang and his cousin, Jannigo Prosstang.

In 22 BBY, on invitation, he joined The Prosstang Posse, led by the then-notoriously fearsome and savvy Clan Prosstang Chieftain. The Posse would exist in various forms, surviving the departure of Ferrigo Prosstang, for a number of years even after the Fall of the Republic. Tan'ek, for a time during the Clone War, would rise to become a trusted advisor under his distant, younger cousin, Handalora Prosstang.
