Hunter

Hunter led Clone Force 99, the genetically modified commando squad the rest of the clone army called the Bad Batch, and his defining choice was to protect his squad and a lost child instead of obeying the Empire. His mutation gave him heightened senses, letting him track movement and electromagnetic signals no ordinary trooper could detect. As a sergeant in the last year of the Clone Wars, he and his men helped Captain Rex and Anakin Skywalker retake Anaxes and rescue the long-lost ARC trooper Echo from the Techno Union on Skako Minor, and Echo then joined the squad. Because of their mutations, most of the Batch were unaffected by the inhibitor chips, and when Order 66 came on Kaller, Hunter let the Padawan Caleb Dume escape. Back on Kamino, he refused an Imperial order to wipe out civilians on Onderon and rescued the young clone Omega, which led the squad to desert. Crosshair, whose chip still worked, stayed loyal to the Empire. Hunter spent the next years on the run with Omega, taking mercenary work from Cid, losing Tech, and finally storming the secret Imperial facility on Mount Tantiss to free her and the other captive clones. Afterward he settled on the island of Pabu as Omega's father figure, and he lived to see her grow up and leave to join the rebellion.
