Background (Summary): It is the Mandalorian ideal that a warrior be judged by his or her own actions, not by those of his or her ancestors–but reality rarely lives up to ideals.

Torian Cadera has spent his entire short life trying to overcome the stigma of being a traitor’s son–a shame he has seldom been allowed to forget in the company of his peers. But Torian long ago learned to armor himself against contempt, and others’ doubts regarding his loyalty have only driven him to strive harder to prove his worth.

Because of this, Torian adheres to the codes and traditions of the Mandalorians with more devotion than many twice his age. Upholding honor and enduring adversity are the cornerstones of his existence.

***SPOILER***

If the bounty hunter isn't in a relationship with Mako or Torian, Torian will show interest in Mako. The player can either help the two along, tell Torian to back down, or simply watch and see what they do on their own. I'm not sure of all the outcomes, but if you stay completely neutral the whole way through (never telling them to do anything, never flirt, and simply say "just walking through" when given other options to have them display special traits for the other), the relationship will fail on its own and not cause any serious repercussions.

From a female BH to Torian, here are some numbers for the Rank 5 (8000+ affection tier) gift options (had to repair a little lover's quarrel! ;)

Galactic Crime Lord's ID Card = +160 affection
Gree Temporary Mind-Link Device = +216 affection (in relationship, obviously)
Zeltron Personal Aroma Set works too, but I repaired my deficit so didn't get a good total on this one.

You don't get those quests for all companions. I'm pretty sure you only get those quests for the first companion.

I didn't see this mentioned yet but like consular companion Qyzen Fess, Torian is melee DPS with a ranged main stat (AIM). For those who are not aware, aim also increases tech damage and damage from tech weapons, such as the ones Torian and Qyzen use. It's due to a change made back in beta, the quick and dirty fix was to simply use aim to boost their damage instead of changing their stat allocation. The more you know *rainbow*

You absolutely keep gearing him for aim, not strength. He'll benefit from strength, but it won't affect any tech damage he deals. Stack aim, it's his primary stat for a reason. Working as intended.

I just got Torian.

I thought that he would be a fun companion to fight with, but I usually opt for one of my ranged companions.

During a fight Torian spends most of his time running from mob to mob. I have just been using Gault and Mako. Their ranged abilities make for much faster leveling and less downtime

I like to check the conversation gains from companions and the only way I know how to find them is to look under the "Ends" tab above. Is there any other/better way?

Between "Unburdened" and "Hunting Party" there are a few missions missing, including:
Point Blank
Battle Brothers

Later on, in order:
Home Cooking
Ways of the Warrior
Target Practice
Mandalorian Iron
Brothers in Arms
Kinship
The Next Step
Family Commitments
Bonds Stronger than Blood

Thank you thejustice for linking them from one to the next, helped me make the list

I am at level 40 and for the last 2 levels I have been struggling! Many deaths on the way to getting Blizz.
Because everyone tauted Blizz the best BH companion, I bought in. Bad idea.

Torian has been a much better tank! Even with his stock gear ( several levels below Blizz). When I bumped his gear up (still not on par with mine) he became a GREAT tank and has MUCH better dps than any other companion.

Now, if I can keep his weapons upgraded... this will probably be the guy I stick with!
-------------------------
Level 49
I have really enjoyed having Torian along. His dps has been a GREAT help and while he is not a tank in the sense of having taunts, he does hold aggro well if I send him first.
I was fortunate to find him a purple grade staff at level 47 which has served us well.

By comparison I have pulled Blizz out a few times but his dps is too low and he squishes like a summer grape. :(
A word about Skadge: While I had a comparable weapon for him he was GREAT as a tank. Defense and taunts kept me clean and clear. The dps was a bit lower than Torian but if weapons were available I may have run Skadge all the way. I think BioWare needs to put in a few mod-able Techstaff and Techblades along with increasing the drops on the blue/green versions of these weapons.

Would never have known that, but then I can't stand dubs. While some are ok I guess, the voice acting is always better in the original, so subs work just fine for me. (Also, as a result, I find it weird that you say his name backwards like that, lol)

Anyways, on topic, in a manner of speaking, he was also the actor who played the Black Ranger in 2nd gen Power Rangers, if anyone was interested.

Actually his name is Ichigo Kurosaki. Ichigo is his first name and Kurosaki is his last name but in the Japanese culture they say the last name first and then the first name.
