A clone trooper originally designated CT-1409, this soldier served the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars as part of the elite 501st Legion. Born on the ocean world of Kamino like all clone troopers, he distinguished himself early in his career during a mission to defend the remote Rishi Station outpost against Separatist forces, earning recognition alongside his fellow clones.

His life took a dramatic turn during the failed rescue mission on Skako Minor, where a devastating explosion left him severely injured and presumed dead by his brothers. The Techno Union captured and subjected him to extensive cybernetic reconstruction, transforming much of his body with mechanical components including cybernetic legs, a neural interface, and a scomp link attachment that allows direct computer interfacing. This augmentation fundamentally altered his capabilities, making him more machine than man.

Following his rescue by Clone Force 99, he joined the specialised squad known as the Bad Batch, bringing his enhanced technical skills and strategic mind to their operations. His cybernetic modifications grant him unique abilities to slice into computer systems and analyse data at superhuman speeds, making him invaluable for intelligence gathering and tactical planning.

Despite his mechanical enhancements, he maintains the loyalty and brotherhood that defined his service as a clone trooper. His relationship with Omega, whom he mentors in technical skills and clone history, demonstrates his capacity for connection beyond his cybernetic nature. His journey from standard clone trooper to cyborg operative reflects the broader transformation of the galaxy during the transition from Republic to Empire.
