Dade Hetkins

Dade Hetkins was a male human soldier of the New Republic.
==Biography==
===Battle of Endor===
Dade Hetkins and his team were assigned to cleanup duty in the weeks after the destruction of the second death star. While on patrol, a single scout trooper threw a thermal detonator near Hetkins, which took off the lower half of his right leg. His team was able to triage his leg and save Hetkins' life.
===Dawn of the New Republic===
After his injury, Hetkins found himself in the veteran hospital in Darropolis on the planet Hosnian Prime under the care of Doctor Arsad. The doctor fit him with a prosthetic lower leg to replace the one lost on Endor. Although the prosthetic foot provided sensations, he was aware of the differences. Before allowing him to leave, the doctor asked Hetkins a series of questions to verify his mental health. He gave lies to most of the questions due to his eagerness to leave, but the doctor's FX-7 droid revealed Hetkins' deception. The doctor prescribed group therapy and a new droid, QT-9, as a companion for Hetkins.
==Personality and traits==
Hetkins was not happy losing his leg on Endor and was also not thrilled with his new metal prosthetic, although he would learn to live with it. Even though he had a poor outlook on life, he genuinely did not have suicidal thoughts.
==Behind the scenes==
Dade Hetkins was a minor point-of-view character who first appeared in Chuck Wendig's 2016 novel Aftermath: Life Debt.
