Soldier ( clone ) Soldier , also known as the Prime to the One Sith organization , was a Human male clone created around 9 ABY from the DNA of Jedi Knight Jaden Korr . He was spawned at an Imperial research facility on a frozen moon in the Unknown Regions as part of a cloning program that was initiated by Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn with the purpose of producing powerful Force users to serve the Empire . The last of a batch of Force - sensitive clones — originally designated Subjects A through I — produced from combined Jedi and Sith DNA , Soldier , as he was called by his brethren , was the most stable of the clones , not suffering from the madness - inducing sickness that afflicted the other specimens . While Soldier was living at the research facility , fellow clone Seer received a call through the Force from an entity named Mother , who promised to provide the clones with a home and cure for their sickness . After years of planning , the clones — who referred to themselves as the Community — revolted against their creators , brutally murdering the scientists at the facility . The clones were subsequently stranded on the moon for decades , until 41 ABY , when Korr arrived there followed by the Anzat assassin Kell Douro . The clones escaped aboard Douro ' s CloakShape fighter , " Predator " , but were pursued by Korr , who was determined to stop them after witnessing the carnage they had orchestrated at the facility . Arriving on the planet Fhost , Soldier and the clones who had not yet succumbed to the sickness caused a fight at the medical center in the city of Farpoint . After an encounter with Korr there , the clones escaped aboard a medical supply ship , taking Korr ' s companion Khedryn Faal hostage . However , Nyss Nenn , an Umbaran agent of the One Sith , had also infiltrated the ship and took control of it , hoping to capture Soldier and trade Faal for Korr , as his masters needed both men for their own needs . With Faal ' s help , Soldier retook control of the ship from Nenn , after which he ordered the former to retreat via one of the escape pods . Soldier then chased the Umbaran through the ship , forcing him to flee aboard a second pod . The three surviving clones — Soldier , Seer , and the child Grace — eventually reached a remote star system , where they found Mother , an ancient and self - aware Rakata n space station , and were followed there by Korr and Nenn . However , instead of helping the clones , Mother killed Seer and possessed her body in an attempt to escape to the outside galaxy . Soldier and Grace then joined with Korr and his companions , Faal and Marr Idi - Shael , in an attempt to escape from the station . Procuring enough medicine for Grace from the medical supply ship to tend to her clone sickness , Soldier and Grace took Nenn ' s scout flyer and escaped before the station was destroyed , hoping to find someplace where they could live the rest of their days in peace . Biography . Life on the frozen moon . In the year 9 ABY , Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn discovered a cache of Spaarti cloning cylinder s inside Mount Tantiss , the late Galactic Emperor Palpatine ' s secret storage facility on the planet Wayland . Around that time , the Chiss Grand Admiral established a research facility on the surface of a frozen moon orbiting a gas giant in a star system code - named UR - 2212 - GR in the Unknown Regions . Thrawn then sent at least one of the cylinders and DNA samples from various Jedi and Sith to the facility , tasking the scientists working there to combine the DNA to create hybrid Jedi – Sith clones who would serve the Empire as powerful Dark Jedi agents . However , the main goal of the project was to create a breakthrough Force user who could effectively wield both light side and dark side powers . Among those samples was one belonging to the Human male Jaden Korr , who would eventually become a Jedi but at that time was still a young boy living with his adoptive parents on the galactic capital of Coruscant , unaware of his Force - sensitivity . After a series of experiments on the DNA , one of the scientists , code - named Dr . Gray , was able to combine the samples in a usable form , and soon enough the scientists produced nine clones , designated Subjects A through I . Although the clones were created from combined Jedi and Sith DNA , each one of them was mostly based on a single template . The clones were not all born at the same time , and the eight early clones suffered from a sickness that affected them physically , causing their bodies to destabilize and driving them to madness . To fight the disease , those clones required constant injections of the metacycline drug . However , the later clones were increasingly more stable than the earlier ones , and the final clone — produced from the Korr sample — exhibited none of those symptoms and was considered to be a perfect specimen by the scientists , the pinnacle of the experiment envisioned by Thrawn . The One Sith organization , secretly operating from the Sith world of Korriban , also heard rumors of Thrawn ' s secret project and the creation of the perfect clone — whom they referred to as the " Prime " — and they sought to someday obtain him for study . Although the scientists attempted to slow down the clones ' accelerated aging , they still grew to maturity rapidly and were all aware of their connection to the Force . Linked to each other telepathically and empathetically , the clones grew very attached to each other , forming a close Community and giving each other names to replace their original Subject designations . The Korr clone was given the name " Soldier " by his brethren . However , as Soldier did not exhibit the sickness inherent to the other clones , they considered him different from them and often demonstrated detachment and contempt when talking to him . Growing under the constant supervision of the Imperial scientists , who watched them through the transparisteel ceiling of their chambers , and enduring continuous tests and experiments , the clones grew to develop hatred for their creators . One night , years before 41 ABY , in a few moments of solitude granted to them by the scientists , Seer , a clone of the Dark Lady of the Sith Lumiya — approached her brothers and sisters , telling them that she had received a call through the Force from a being called Mother . Seer claimed that Mother would provide a home for the clones and would help them cure their sickness , and the clones started formulating plans to escape from the frozen moon . Soldier doubted the existence of Mother , but he kept his thoughts to himself . Howecer , another clone named Wry , who had shared Soldier ' s wavering faith , spoke his mind to the Community . Enraged by his defiance , the other clones tore apart Wry in an incident of collective rage , with Soldier watching from the side . He then decided to keep his doubt to himself and to follow the Community ' s plans . For years , the clones plotted their escape , as Seer became their prophet and the mastermind behind their plans . They managed to obtain various spare parts to construct lightsabers , with Seer smuggling lightsaber crystal s inside the facility . Working during the nights in their cubicles when the scientists could not see them , Soldier and the others operated by touch and their connection to each other to construct crude but functional lightsabers . When Seer finally decided it was time to strike , she made the announcement to the other clones . Following her call , Soldier and the Community attacked their masters , slaughtering the scientists and the stormtrooper guards alike . The murders were brutal , with the clones dismembering the facility ' s staff and writing with their blood on the walls . They then filled the Spaarti cloning cylinder that had given birth to them with the remains of their victims , turning it into an altar to Mother . Running on limited supplies of food , energy , and medicine at the facility , the clones bade their time , waiting decades for a ship to arrive at the moon to take them away . During that time , some of the clones developed romantic relationships , giving birth to three children : Gift , Blessing , and Grace . Soldier grew attached to the children , developing affectionate feelings for them . As many years passed , the clones began to lose hope , but Seer kept up their spirits , promising that eventually someone would come to the moon and the clones would be able to escape . Escape into peril . Indeed , in 41 ABY , someone finally came as Seer had predicted . Jaden Korr , now a Jedi Knight of the New Jedi Order , arrived on the frozen moon guided by a vision from the Force . While Korr explored the facility , the clones slipped out to the outside of the moon to steal the vessel he had arrived in , the Starhawk shuttle " Flotsam " , while one of them , Alpha , volunteered to stay behind to confront the Jedi . Korr killed Alpha , while the clones , taking the remaining medicine with them , found a vessel to escape from the moon — not " Flotsam " , but the larger CloakShape fighter " Predator " , which belonged to the Anzat One Sith assassin Kell Douro , who had followed Korr to the facility and had been killed as well . Soon enough , Korr and his companion , Khedryn Faal , emerged from the facility . Making their presence known , the clones landed the CloakShape beside them . Believing that the clones would not dare to kill them , Korr and Faal turned their backs to the " Predator " and walked away , with Korr sending mental warnings to the clones , promising to follow them should they escape . Soldier and the Community did not heed his warnings and took the CloakShape to leave the moon . As they passed the atmosphere , they flew through the remains of Lignan crystal s that had been scattered there after the ship carrying them , the Sith dreadnaught " Harbinger " , had been destroyed by Jedi Master Relin Druur after time - traveling from the era of the Great Hyperspace War five thousand years before . The Lignan crystals , capable of amplifying dark side powers , influenced the escapees . Soldier and the other clones felt their powers greatly magnified , but the influence also rapidly accelerated their sickness , placing the clones — with the exception of Soldier — in a state of trance and making their skin ripple and bulge . As the only one unaffected , Soldier rushed to distribute the metacycline to his brothers and sisters , who were reluctant to accept it in their delirium as their hatred for Soldier intensified . One of the clones , Scar , died , while another , Two - Blade , attacked Soldier but was quickly beaten . As Soldier prepared to kill Two - Blade , the man experienced great pain from the sickness , and Soldier spared him . Soldier distributed the dwindling supplies of the medicine , but Scar ' s mate , Maker , provoked him into battle . Feeling the power of the dark side coursing in him , Soldier killed Maker with a blast of Force lightning . When Soldier tried to administer the medicine to Seer , she objected at first , believing that Mother would cure her , but she eventually agreed to take one final shot . Analyzing the CloakShape ' s computer records , Soldier then discovered that the ship ' s last known destination before the frozen moon had been the planet Fhost , which possessed a medical center in the sole city of Farpoint . Hoping to replenish their medical supplies there , Soldier informed Seer of his discovery , and she agreed to set course for Fhost . Upon reaching the planet , Soldier set the ship down at a large clearing in a forest fifty kilometers away from Farpoint . By that point , Blessing and Gift had succumbed to their illness ; Soldier tried to give them an adrenaline shot to revive the children , but they had already died . Seer told Soldier to leave their bodies , as well as Two - Blade , who was nearly gone himself , aboard the ship . Soldier , Seer , and the clone Runner then took Grace and her mother , Hunter , both unconscious , and used a speeder they had found in the CloakShape ' s cargo hold to travel to the Farpoint Medical Center . On their way there , Soldier did not approve of Runner casually using the Force to orchestrate traffic accidents . At the facility , the clones were greeted by a female doctor and a male nurse , who offered to take care of Hunter . Using a mind trick on them instead , Soldier tried to force the two to escort them to the facility ' s dispensary to obtain the supplies with which he could mix more metacycline . However , the clones ' suspicious behavior attracted the attention of the facility ' s guards , who tried to detain them . Growing impatient , Runner shoved Soldier aside and used the Force to wreak havoc at the facility , causing the guards to open fire and Soldier to kill them in self - defense . As a result of Runner ' s outburst , six innocent people were killed . Seer had sensed through the Force that a medical supply ship would soon be arriving at the facility ' s rooftop , and since Runner ' s actions had rendered all lift s non - operational , the clones then took the stairs to the medical center ' s roof . However , as they reached the third floor , Korr — who had been pursuing the clones from the frozen moon — dropped down and confronted them . Korr knocked Runner unconscious , and Soldier engaged him in a lightsaber duel . Seeing Soldier ' s face and realizing that he was a clone of himself , Korr momentarily lowered his defense , allowing Soldier to blast him with the Force . Runner came to his senses and , together with Soldier and Seer , assaulted Korr with the Force . The Jedi could not block the attack and was weakened , and Soldier , spurred on by Seer ' s orders to kill the Jedi , used Force lightning on him , inflicting heavy injuries . Runner then attempted to execute Korr , but the latter managed to block the clone ' s strike . Runner responded by kicking Korr down a flight of stairs ; the Jedi was able to quickly stagger to his feet , only to stumble and fall further down the stairs . Not wanting to waste time , the clones then made their way to the roof but were attacked there by Korr ' s companion , Faal , before they quickly disarmed him . Runner wanted to kill Faal , but Soldier stopped him from doing so , believing that they could learn from him how Korr had tracked them . Taking Faal hostage , Soldier and the others boarded the parked medical supply ship — which carried enough reagents with which Soldier could mix up more medicine — and , following a course set by Seer , embarked on a journey to Mother . When Faal came to his senses , Soldier asked him how Korr had been able to track them , but Faal revealed that they had run into the clones on accident . Seer and Runner wanted to kill their hostage , but Soldier , who initially wanted to release Faal aboard an escape pod , was at least able to negotiate to have Faal executed by spacing , instead of Runner ' s lightsaber . As Runner left to escort Faal to the airlock to proceed with the execution , Soldier noticed that Grace had gone missing , and he instructed Hunter — who had just come to her senses — to go find her daughter . However , Soldier soon felt a strange presence aboard that attempted to cut him off from the Force , and he heard Grace screaming as the girl spotted an intruder . An Umbaran agent of the One Sith , Nyss Nenn , had been able to slip aboard the ship , had killed Runner and Hunter , and had taken Faal captive near the airlock . Nenn possessed a talent that allowed him to cut others from the Force , and he knocked Seer unconscious . Soldier , resisting the power , put up a fierce fight , but the Umbaran stunned him with a flash - bang grenade , hurt him with a vibroblade , disarmed him , and took him hostage , binding him and informing Soldier that the One Sith wanted him alive . Taking the medical supply ship out of hyperspace in a star system with two gas giants , Nenn contacted Korr , who was pursuing the clones aboard the freighter " Junker " . Nenn demanded Korr to trade himself in for Faal , or he would kill the spacer . However , Faal then sneaked into the cabin , having been freed by Grace . Willing to repay the girl ' s kindness , Faal set Soldier free and gave him Hunter ' s lightsaber , which he had found , and the clone told Faal to flee . Soldier attacked Nenn , causing the Umbaran to retreat to an escape pod . Soldier attempted to break the pod ' s glass window with his lightsaber , but the Umbaran used his talent at the last moment to influence the lightsaber ' s crystal , turning the blade off . Both the Umbaran and Faal escaped from the ship on separate escape pods , Faal headed toward " Junker " and Nenn trying to make his way to his scout flyer , flown into the area by his sister , Syll Nenn . In an ensuing skirmish in open space , Syll used the scout ship to attack Faal ' s escape pod , but she was killed by Korr , who had left " Junker " in a hardsuit and reflected her shots back at her with his lightsaber . Faal was recovered by his friends , while Nyss returned to the scout flyer to find his sister dead . Soldier , meanwhile , found Grace , unharmed and hiding in the medical ship ' s cargo bay , and set course back to Seer ' s coordinates . Revelation of Mother . Seer came to her senses , and the three surviving clones soon emerged from hyperspace in a system that contained a pulsar , two tide - locked planets , and an asteroid belt of unnatural origin . The system was filled with radiation emanating from the pulsar and appeared uninhabited and unable to sustain any life . Believing that Seer was wrong and that Mother , whoever she was , could not possibly have been living there , Soldier was emotionally devastated . However , Seer directed him to fly the ship to the dark side of one of the planets , the one closest to the pulsar , where they discovered an ancient Rakata n space station , organic in nature and connected by a tether to the planet below . The station also emanated strong dark side power , and Seer stated that Mother was there . Soldier , his faith in Seer ' s visions restored , docked the medical supply ship with the station , and the three clones went aboard . Inside the station , they found decaying corpses of the people who had perished there earlier . Following Seer ' s guidance , Soldier and the others used organic tubes to descend through the tether to the planet - side portion of the station , where they found a large oval chamber with a large cylindrical mound in the center , covered with filaments of different colors . As the clones took in the beauty of the place , a realization struck Soldier : Mother was not a person ; she was the consciousness of the space station itself , and they were in her heart . Soldier asked Mother to cure Seer and Grace , but the filaments took hold of Seer ' s body , strangling her to death . All that time , Mother had needed the clones with the sole purpose to possess one of them and escape to the outside galaxy . Witnessing what had happened , Soldier grabbed Grace and ran away , intent on protecting the girl at all costs . The two soon heard the sound of scuffle , and Soldier went ahead to investigate , finding Marr Idi - Shael , Korr ' s Jedi apprentice . Korr and Idi - Shael had followed the clones to the station but had been ambushed by Nenn . Korr had killed the Umbaran but had been killed in turn by the Iteration , another clone of himself created by the One Sith . Idi - Shael had then transferred his Master ' s consciousness into the Iteration ' s body using the mindspear device and was waiting for his Master to come to his senses . As Soldier watched , Korr regained consciousness in his new body and stumbled around unknowingly . Soldier took Idi - Shael hostage and told him to call over his Master . The sound of his apprentice ' s voice restored Korr ' s memories of past events , with the exception of his death , as Idi - Shael had hidden all evidence of it . Soldier spoke to Korr , telling him that he was not responsible for the deaths of innocents at the medical center on Fhost and asking him to help him and Grace escape , promising that they would never harm anyone . After some consideration , Korr agreed , and the four individuals tried to make their way out , only to run into Mother inhabiting Seer ' s body . Mother attacked the group , and Korr was barely able to wound her after a fierce fight . The men realized that they could not fight the entity , and they ran away from the fight . They were then contacted by Faal , whom Nenn had knocked unconscious at the upper portion of the station . Korr told Faal to go to the medical transport and set its systems on overload so that it would explode and destroy the station . Faal did so , and the ship was bound to explode shortly . Soldier and his companions used the organic lifts to meet Faal at the upper level of the station . Realizing that Grace would not survive without medicine , Soldier informed Korr that he would try to get some from the medical ship before it exploded , after which he would escape aboard Nenn ' s scout flyer , which was docked nearby . Korr agreed , and the group separated , with Idi - Shael , Korr , and Faal going their own way toward " Junker " . Soldier took Grace and ran into the medical ship , grabbing enough medicine to keep her symptom - free for years , and together they made their way to the scout flyer , escaping from the station right as it was destroyed , taking Mother with it . Soldier then jumped to hyperspace , hoping to find some planet where he and the girl could settle down , live the rest of their lives in peace , and try to find a permanent cure for Grace . Personality and traits . A clone of Jaden Korr , Soldier shared the same appearance as the Jedi , being a tall man with narrow , angled facial features ; a hatchet nose ; brown hair ; fair skin and gray eyes . However , the decades spent in isolation at the facility on the frozen moon had led to Soldier having a more unkempt and haggard appearance than his gene tic template , with Soldier wearing the old , poorly - fitting rags that had once belonged to the facility ' s staff . Soldier ' s hair was very long , and his facial hair had grown into a full beard . When he first met Korr , he recognized him as his progenitor , but he was not particularly fazed by the encounter and considered himself different from Korr . Although he was created years after Korr ' s birth , his accelerated aging had resulted in him being approximately the same age as the Jedi by 41 ABY . Like all other clones , he was aware of his Force - sensitivity from his creation and was telepathically and empathetically connected to his brothers and sisters . However , being the only clone not to experience the sickness , Soldier was considered different by the rest of the Community and was somewhat of an outcast . Although the other clones looked down on him , Soldier cared for them and felt protective of them , especially the children , who were the only ones to treat him as an equal . Although it pained and angered him to hear constant reminders from his brethren that he was not like them , over time Soldier learned to build figurative mental barriers and ignore their words . Soldier and Wry were the only two clones who doubted the existence of Mother , but after seeing the other clones murder Wry for voicing those doubts , Soldier kept his beliefs to himself , although Seer saw the truth in him . The other clones believed that the sickness was given to them as a test from Mother , and only those strong enough would survive the journey and live to see her . Soldier did not see things that way , believing that the children , Gift and Blessing , did not deserve to be tested so harshly , and he was devastated by their deaths . Although he hated his life at the facility on the frozen moon , Soldier found himself remembering the place as his home , and he even somewhat missed it . The clone struggled for his entire life with feelings of loneliness and lack of purpose in life . Craving certainty , he tried to find purpose in Seer ' s visions and thought that he had finally found it when the clones reached the Rakatan space station . However , his faith was soon shattered once again when Mother revealed her true intentions and killed Seer . Convinced that the quest for Mother had been a lie , the only thing that mattered to him from that point on was to protect Grace . Now having a purpose in life , Soldier shed away all his doubts and no longer felt lost . Although Soldier was less susceptible to feats of uncontrolled rage than the other clones , he still experienced it sometimes . He did not participate in Wry ' s murder , but he did partake in the carnage on the frozen moon , releasing the anger that had boiled in him toward the scientists who had constantly performed cruel experiments on him , including long periods of isolation in a sensory deprivation tank , surgeries without anesthesia , and hypospray injections . As a result , Soldier developed a hatred for doctors in general . Soldier did succumb to rage when he killed Maker , relishing in the clone ' s pain as he blasted him with Force lightning . He was unwilling to kill Khedryn Faal , stopping Runner from doing so on Fhost and having the man taken captive instead . Later , after interrogating Faal , Soldier was willing to let him go in an escape pod , but he gave in to pressure from Seer and Runner and agreed to kill him , although he did grant Faal ' s final wish to be given a death worthy of a spacer and be thrown out of the airlock instead of being cut down by a lightsaber . Later , when Faal released him from Nenn ' s binds and wanted to stay to help him fight the Umbaran , Soldier told the man to leave , saying that if Seer ordered him to kill Faal later , he would not hesitate to do so . When they arrived in the irradiated system , Soldier believed that Seer had led them on a false quest . He had an outburst of anger toward her , but the sight of the space station calmed and humbled him , and he felt ashamed for letting his emotions out in front of Grace . Finding Grace extremely vulnerable and fragile , Soldier was always trying to protect the girl from danger , falling into an uncontrolled frenzy at the thought of Nyss Nenn possibly harming her , and that anger amplified his powers . He wanted the girl to stop experiencing the sickness and hoped Mother would cure her . That did not work , but Soldier managed to stockpile medicine from the supply ship that would allow Grace to live carefree for several years . Soldier hoped that he would eventually find a cure that would heal her completely and would allow the girl to live a better life than him . Soldier was often irritated by Runner ' s arrogant attitude and his inclination for unprovoked murder and destruction , and he often barely held from harming Runner in response . He felt no remorse for leaving Two - Blade behind on the " Predator " after the man had nearly killed him . Soldier experienced romantic feelings toward Seer , finding her features very attractive and feeling stinging sensations whenever she touched him . He found the planet Fhost looking beautiful from space and envied the freedom of beasts that he saw on the way to Farpoint . Having never seen so many people in one place , Soldier wanted to take a walk around the city and wondered what would it be like to settle there . Powers and abilities . Like all members of the Community , Soldier was created with a deeply innate connection to the Force . He had a high midi - chlorian count and was adept at many basic and moderately advanced applications of the Force . The clones had an especially strong affinity for Force powers traditionally affiliated with the dark side of the Force , but Soldier rejected such labels , simply viewing those talents as powers to be used and not thinking of himself and the clones as Sith . Throughout the clones ' years of planning their escape from the facility on the frozen moon , Soldier honed his abilities and constructed a functional lightsaber , working only by touch in the confines of his cabin . After the CloakShape fighter passed through the remains of the Lignan crystals as the clones left the frozen moon , Soldier felt a great surge of power that filled him and amplified his dark side powers . The feeling was strengthened by the clones ' empathetic connection with one another , causing Soldier to feel the pain and ecstasy of every single member of the Community as they experienced the power coursing through them . The power caused Soldier to discharge Force lightning uncontrollably for a few moments , before he managed to bring it under control . When he later used that lightning to kill Maker , Soldier found that he had never been able to produce such a powerful variation of it , and he tried to contain the newfound power within himself after that incident . However , he later used it again during the fight with Jaden Korr on Fhost . He could also channel Force blasts at his opponents and use the Force to amplify his hand - to - hand combat abilities , utilizing Force - augmented punches and kicks when fighting Maker and Nyss Nenn . He could use mind tricks , attempting it on the doctor and the nurse at the Farpoint Medical Center , and he could sense the dark side power of Mother . Soldier was skilled with his lightsaber , being able to deflect blaster shots square at the chests of the medical center ' s guards , killing them in self - defense , and he was a match for Korr in lightsaber combat during their duel on Fhost . Like all the clones ' weapons , Soldier ' s lightsaber was crude in design , with an unstable , sizzling red blade . After being disarmed by Nenn , Soldier received Hunter ' s lightsaber from Khedryn Faal , and he used her weapon from that point on . To an extent , he resisted Nenn ' s ability to block one from the Force . Soldier was an adept pilot , having undergone training in flight simulators at the cloning facility . He had learned that staring at the swirls of hyperspace for long periods of time could drive one to madness , and he found the experience nauseating . He was a proficient chemist , being able to recreate metacycline from raw components : a genetic coherence sequencer , an antipsychotic , and a blood thinner . Behind the scenes . Soldier was created by author Paul S . Kemp , first being mentioned in the 2010 novel " Crosscurrent " as one of the nine clones created at the facility on the frozen moon . He later became a central character in Kemp ' s sequel to " Croscurrent " , the 2011 novel " Riptide " . In the novels , Soldier ' s character was used to explore philosophical questions about the meaning of identity and the journey to find one ' s purpose in life . " Crosscurrent " established that the nine clones were originally designated Subjects A through I , but " Riptide " did not reveal which letter corresponded to Soldier . As the last of the clones created , Soldier would seem to be Subject I , while Seer , as the second - to - last clone produced , would seemingly be Subject H . However , according to the novels , Subject H was Wry ' s designation , leaving the other clones ' designations unclear . At the end of " Riptide " , Soldier muses that he has met " a clone of himself " when referring to Jaden Korr . It is unclear if this is simply a terminology error by Kemp , meant to be interpreted that Soldier has met his genetic template , or if it is an implication that Soldier knows that Korr is a clone , a possibility alluded to throughout the novel .
