Hunter

"Hunter" was the nickname of a mutated clone commando Sergeant who served as the commanding officer of Clone Force 99, also known informally as the "Bad Batch", in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Genetically altered to possess heightened senses, the included ability to detect the electromagnetic fields of battle droids served as an asset to the covert missions conducted by his unit, which comprised of similarly mutated clones Wrecker, Tech, Crosshair, as well as more baseline clones Echo and Omega. 
In 19 BBY, Hunter and Clone Force 99 were recalled from an insurrection on Yalbec Prime to Anaxes by Clone Commander Cody, who — along with Clone Captain Rex and Jedi Commander Jarik Shan — had planned an infiltration of the Separatist Cyber Center to investigate the basis of the Separatists' constant strategic victories over the Republic in the battlefront and why Commander Shan was having trouble intercepting and cracking their transmissions. Hunter demonstrated his squad's aggressive methods and led full frontal charges during the mission, which earned the respect of Captain Rex. Following a successful infiltration of the Cyber Center, Rex and Tech discovered their strategies were compromised by Echo — a long-lost Advanced Recon Commando thought to have perished on Lola Sayu. Accompanying Rex and Jedi General Anakin Skywalker in their mission to locate Echo on Skako Minor, Clone Force 99 succeeded in rescuing Echo and facilitating the subsequent demise of Separatist Admiral Trench at the end of the Battle of Anaxes, the aftermath of which saw Hunter extend an offer to the cyborg Clone Corporal to join his crew, which Echo accepted. 
Most of his members' mutations and the ordeal Echo suffered prior to joining disrupted their inhibitor chips, meaning Clone Force 99 was able to disobey Order 66. With the Proclamation of the New Order and the rise of the Galactic Empire, Clone Force 99 — with the exception of Crosshair, who’s chip had functioned properly and received intensified programming — defected with the unmodified yet original genetically mutated clone named Omega who was also their older sister, prompting Governor Wilhuff Tarkin to order their pursuit and elimination.
