Need Help rounding out these 'mandolorian' Dark Nuts in a Zelda Story.

[Naruzeldamaster]

First off, if anyone here's a star wars fan, and has seen any of the newer shows or is well educated, you know the Mandolorians.
Second, I'm taking that basic idea and twisting it a bit for this Zelda Story, since for most appearances, Dark Nuts have no Lore or Story Relevance. They're just kind of, there.

In this particular story, Ganon has been ruling Hyrule for some time (It's an alternate history to breath of the wild/Tears of the Kingdom) and while not everybody is 'happy' with his rule. There's really nobody to oppose him, and anyone who dares rise up is struck down personally and swiftly with biblical strength.

I was thinking his most loyal and skilled Gerudo could be Dark Nuts (Look up the ones in Twilight Princess), at least on the surface. They're actually moles planted by the current Gerudo chief, formed exclusively of a splinter tribe consisting mainly of warriors.

I Have their role planned out, but not so much the how and the why the Dark Nuts would 'betray' Ganon since the Gerudo typically align with him (depends on the game)

Maybe cause they are sick of dying in droves to protect his sorry behind?

That could work yeah, there's a lot of simi political unrest in this version of BOTW/TOTK (It's the far future of both games) The Royals of all species are kind of playing a chess game of when old Dorf-y is going to make his big move.

The other thing is maybe they think his borderline ritualistic killings in the colosseum shame the sport of combat.

I was thinking something similar with a StarCraft/Mass Effect cross-over. There is the general Salarian/Asari conflict, but the Krogan have the genophage, but there isn’t any clear leader, probably because they have so many offspring, but I thought Kerrigan could do the job.

With your storyline, Dark Nutz could have another integer, like finding out who the friend that was lost to Link was, and finding out if it was Calamity Ganon.
