Born on a farmstead outside of Enceri on Manda'yaim, Shogun's mother died in childbirth. He was raised by his father, Ronin Geist, who died on Norval II, 19 BBY, when the Mandalorian Protectors were betrayed by Darth Sidious/Chancellor Palpatine as part of his galactic schemes. Sho has harbored a prejudice against Sith and Jedi ever since. Sho had a set of twin beskade forged, named Ronin and Shinobi, after his father and grandfather.
Shogun is proficient in melee combat, coming from a long and honored line of blade masters; Shogun is known to have killed two Imperial dark Jedi in single combat. He wears a dull silver grey body suit or jumpsuit and black armor scheme with blood red T visor. Commonly works with twin childhood friends, Aurra and Atin Vos, whom he grew up with. Shogun owns a starship, the Burning Hammer; a customized YV-929 Armed Freighter inherited from his father.
