Din Djarin, also known as The Mandalorian, is the titular main protagonist of the Star Wars Disney+ original series The Mandalorian, later also appearing in its spin-off series Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett. He is a reputed Mandalorian bounty hunter operating at the time of the New Republic some years after the fall of the Galactic Empire. During one of his hunts, he met a mysterious Force-sensitive infant named Grogu of the same species as Yoda nicknamed "The Child", who happened to be his target with whom he formed a close bond and to seek to protect at all costs, putting him in conflict with other bounty hunters as well as the surviving Imperial Remnant that had originally hired him. Din is an "adopted" Mandalorian, since he wasn't born on Mandalore. Despite this, after defeating the Imperial Remnant's leader, Moff Gideon, the Mandalorian then acquired ownership of the Darksaber thus making him the rightful ruler of Mandalore. Months later, Mando would finally surrender the Darksaber to Bo-Katan Kryze with full legitimacy.
