With his Mandalorian armor , IB blaster pistol , Amban sniper rifle , and distinctive beskar helmet , Djarin was both well-equipped and enigmaticβa stranger whose past was shrouded in mystery to others. He hailed from Aq Vetina and became orphaned during the end of the Galactic Republic , and was raised on Concordia as a foundling by the Children of the Watch , an orthodox religious sect that had broken off from mainstream Mandalorian society.
Djarin was unaware of this and believed that all Mandalorians followed the Children of the Watch's beliefs. He was trained to become a Mandalorian warrior and eventually joined the Tribe , which operated in a secret covert on Nevarro.
Djarin became battle-hardened, a man of few words, and a formidable hunter in an increasingly dangerous galaxy. Around 9 ABY , Djarin was hired on Nevarro by a client of an Imperial remnant faction , who offered a substantial reward for the acquisition of an asset located on the world Arvala During his mission on Arvala-7, he met an Ugnaught named Kuiil , who guided him to the location of the asset, and encountered a bounty hunter droid , IG Upon seeing the asset itself, Djarin and IG discovered that it was, in fact, a Force-sensitive child.
Tasked with bringing Grogu in alive, Djarin shot IG in the head, saving the infant and taking him into his custody. Discovering Grogu's Force-sensitivity during his time on Arvala-7, Djarin took Grogu back to the Client and collected his reward.
