Ijaat Skirata, the offspring of the Mandalorian mercenary Kal Skirata and the non-Mandalorian Ilippi, held the position of middle child and youngest son. He had siblings named Tor Skirata and Ruusaan "Ruu" Skirata.
Despite carrying a Mandalorian name, (Ijaat translates to "honor"), Ijaat, alongside Tor, severed ties with his father through the official Mandalorian practice of declaring their father "dar'buir".
Sometime Years afterward, specifically in 20 BBY, Tor reached out to Kal using a comlink. He communicated that their sister was facing difficulties, and upon Kal's agreement to assist, Tor conveyed apologies from both himself and Ijaat.
Order 66: A Republic Commando Novel depicted Ijaat as being two years younger than his brother, Tor Skirata. This description implies that Ijaat's age should be around thirty-seven during the events of Order 66: A Republic Commando Novel.
