[SIZE=10.5pt]It started off with REDACTED being fed with a silver spoon.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]REDACTED was born into a notable and quite wealthy family on the Republic planet of Coruscant. REDACTED was always the kid to pick fights with those who preyed on the weak, even if it costed his family quite the expense of hospital bills. He often would explore around his family's estate and would fantasize about becoming a hero within the Republic military. After he had completed his schooling and despite his family's protests, REDACTED would go into the Republic military academy on Coruscant at the young age of 14.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]It was at the academy where REDACTED would set himself apart from the other cadets, most notability being his aggressive hand to hand combat techniques. For being one of the larger and more skilled cadets, REDACTED often found himself shunned away from the friend groups formed. However a lone female cadet by the name of Amanda would befriend him. The two would grow close and even could have been considered romantic partners.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]After completing the Academy with his class at the age of 18, REDACTED and Amanda were transferred into the 72nd republic all human infantry unit "Iron Cross Brigade". They would see combat from the hot sands of Tatooine, To the toxic swamps of Quesh.

REDACTED would earn the Knight's cross and the war Merit cross for his heroic leadership skill and actions in combat.[/SIZE]

The 72nd outpost was suddenly and swiftly attacked at their base of operations where REDACTED was located.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]REDACTED chose to sacrifice himself and get captured in order for his unit to escape. Although his unit was able to escape by the skin of their teeth, REDACTED's capture and proceeding events would show how evil living beings could be.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]REDACTED was dragged through a separatist town that was entirely populated by Separatist sympathizers. He had stones and other items thrown at him as the rage of the crowd soon took over. He was rushed away into a prison cell before the crowd could kill him. During his capture, He experienced brutal beatings and tortures far to merciless and evil to tell. Despite this, he never revealed any information. REDACTED was then brought into a public arena after being beaten for information and was publicly condemned for the killing of the terrorists. An ironic twist. The head guard would take a hot knife to his chest and carve the word "Monster" into his chest for him to remember what he was to the eyes of the separatists.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]He was then placed into a firing line with a few other Republic captives and was prepared to be executed.

During a few battles, Most would assume that the sergeant was heroic and would openly take blaster bolts in order to protect others however those who knew better, would soon realize he was attempting to get himself killed. Because of these actions, REDACTED was transferred out of the front lines and sent in for mental health therapy. Overcome with the guilt of Amanda's death, he would turn to alcohol to help cope which sent him into a downward spiral of hate and sadness.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]While in a drunken stupor, A Republic intelligence officer located REDACTED and gave him the offer to escape his pain and in exchange, he would be given a role within Republic intelligence. REDACTED, seeing that his life was not going the way he wanted, quickly accepted the offer.

He is more than willing to work with the clones so long as they do not question his orders without justifications.
