Mij Gilamar

Mij Gilamar was aHumanmaledoctor andMandalorian warrior who served theCuy'val Dar during theClone Wars.

Biography[]

Mij Gilamar was amaleHumandoctor who, at some time before32 BBY, met and fell in love with aMandaloriangirl namedTani. The two were wed, and Gilamar joined the Mandalorian culture. At some point afterward, his wife was tragically murdered and Gilamar vowed tokill the man who did it, painting his armor the traditional sand-gold that marked a mission of vengeance in the Mandalorian community.

Gilamar was one of seventy-five Mandalorian warriors selected bybounty hunterJango Fett to help train eliteclonecommandos on theplanetKamino, as part of the hundred-member force known as theCuy'val Dar—"Those Who No Longer Exist". Gilamar greatly despised his fellow training sergeantsDred Priest andIsabet Reau, believing them to be as bad as theDeath Watch in their radical views on Mandalorian superiority, and hated Priest for operating a secret fight club in which many clones were injured. During his time on Kamino, he befriendedARC trooperAlpha-Ø2, also known as Spar, when the clone would fake severe headaches, backaches, and to be hearing voices in order to spend time in the medical bay where Gilamar worked. Gilamar later facilitated Spar's defection from theGrand Army of the Republic and aided in his escape from Kamino, calling in a favor with Fett to smuggle him out in the cargo hold of theSlave I.

Gilamar acted as an instructor to theclone troopers in field medicine, teaching first aid and triage.^[3]

During theClone Wars, he worked alongside fellow formerCuy'val DarKal Skirata for theGrand Army of the Republic on an advisory level and, while so engaged, "liberated" medical and scientific equipment for use at Skirata's hidden home onMandalore:Kyrimorut, a budding haven for clones who wished to desert from the Grand Army. He also assisted Skirata in locating scientists who could help find a cure to the clone troopers' accelerated aging; during the search, Gilamar met Dr.Reye Nenilin whom he subtly insulted by comparing him to the ancient Mandalorian scientistDemagol. He aided in the recovery of the wounded clone commandoFi on Mandalore, alongside ex-JediBardan Jusik. WhenOrder 66 was issued to all members of the Grand Army, Gilamar deserted to Mandalore with the rest ofClan Skirata, then rescuedArla Fett, and then recently kidnappedSeparatist scientist, Dr.Ovolot Qail Uthan.

While spending time with Doctor Uthan and working alongside her as she attempted to develop a solution to stop the clones' accelerating aging, Gilamar began to develop feelings for her. He also bonded with escapedJediPadawanTallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy—known by the nickname Scout—who was taking refuge from theGalactic Empire at Kyrimorut's remote location, teaching her first aid, and developed a fatherly affection toward the girl. Following theEmperor's attack on Uthan'shomeworld,Gibad, utilizing theFG36 nanovirus she'd developed personally for the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Gilamar comforted her at the loss of her world. Together, he helped her to create a countermeasure to the nanovirus and when the anti-virus was completed, Gilamar professed his feelings for Uthan and the two kissed. When Scout decided she wanted to stay on Mandalore with Gilamar and Uthan—who had become somewhat motherly toward the young girl—instead of being sent to live with theAltisian Jedi, Gilamar agreed to talk to Skirata on Scout's behalf, assuring her that she could stay despite the fact that she wished to continue being a Jedi.

When it came time to disperse the anti-virus into the Mandalorian population at large, Gilamar joined several members of theSkirata clan in thecapital,Keldabe. While there, he spotted his formerCuy'val Dar associates Reau and Priest—whom he'd seen earlier working with the Imperial occupation force—in a crowd and, upon noticing the Death Watch symbol on their armor, he lured Priest into a conversation that soon moved to an isolated alley. There, he learned that the Death Watch was still active under the leadership ofLorka Gedyc, and were planning to revitalize the splinter group. With this information, and unwilling to allow the brutality of the Death Watch to return, Gilamar attacked Priest, slashing Priest's femoral artery through the gap between Priest's armor plates and letting him bleed out. He then dumped the body into theKelita River with the aid ofOrdo Skirata to delay Reau from discovering it.

Behind the scenes[]

Mij Gilamar was created for an exclusive Entertainment Earth 14 action figure pack. This figure mixes new parts with pieces from existing Jango Fett figures. The figure has new legs, which it shares withB'arin Apma, as well as an all-new head and bits and pieces previously used to make various Jango Fett action figures.

This figure was first designed to be the Mandalorian training sergeantKal Skirata, butKaren Traviss thought the head mold looked too young, so she askedHasbro if they wouldn't mind changing the names. She named this figure after her good friend James Gilmer (Mij is Jim spelled backwards).
