    First off this is marvelous. I wanted this since first meeting Mandalore the Preserver in Kotor 2. I am really struggling, whether Canderous would paint the Mask or not. It was worn by Mandalore the First -> Mandalore the Indomitable -> Mandalore the Ultimate -> and finally Canderous Ordo, Mandalore the Preserver, after which it was not passed on. (Presumably the dark saber would soon replace the role of the mask.) (There is an obscure peace of information, that the Ultimate was not a true Mandalore, but was aided by the Sith and basically replaced an unidentified Mandalore. After the death of the Ultimate and after Revan had told Canderous the location of the Mask, Canderous met the unidentified Mandalore, who was dying and told Canderous to take his armour and gave Canderous his blessing to become the Preserver, who would now be the rightful next Mandalore.) Under those circumstances, would Canderous paint the Mask? Reasons for painting the mask a different colour People in-game don't seem to notice Mandalore himself walking past them. Canderous wants to change tradition for now. He is rebuilding the Clans. Only the next Generation will return to the way of the warriors. The Mask would be a target pinned to his face. It would be a symbol for the old ways of war. (The Mask seems to lose relevance in its' history at this point. Perhaps painting it is one of the causes? Grand Admiral Thrawn ends up having the Mask of Grievous, the Mask of a Jedi Temple Guard, the Helmet of Clone Commander Gree (who tried to kill Yoda), but even Thrawn does not end up getting the Mask of Mandalore; He only has holo-images of ancient paintings.) Reasons against painting the mask a different colour Mandalorians have a proud tradition, from which they do not seem to deviate, even if it would wipe them out. The Mask would be the icon and evidence of his rightful rule as the new Mandalore. He went through so much effort to find the mask. Would he now hide its' golden colour? Regardless of whether he paints it, the galaxy at large would not be pleased to learn about the Mandalorians trying to rebuild. Canderous would have many enemies either way and it was unlikely any of the would return to Dxun, where the Mandalorian Wars began.
