**CA-4012 or CT-4012 "Reaver"** was originally a normal clone trooper and fought with the 327th during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He was noted to have a talent with heavy and melee weapons, often carrying axes into close quarters combat. He appeared to prefer the heavy E-WEB in medium range engagements, citing overwhelming firepower as being the fastest solution to most problems. CT-4012's talent with such brutal weapons as well as his reportedly aggressive personality led to his nickname, Reaver. During one particularly scarring battle after Reaver's entire squad had been decimated by an enemy ambush he received a 'vision', or more likely an adrenaline induced hallucination. It was this 'vision' that led to his zealous loyalty to the republic, as well as his extreme religious tendencies. His ramblings about the republic led to him being discharged from the 327th, after which his talent was eventually noted by the Clone Assassin Division and he was trained into the least assassin-like assassin of the entire unit. Recently Reaver participated in both the Salteract campaign and the Bunduki campaign, demonstrating his loyalty to the republic and his fanatic desire to deliver justice to all he deems as having broken its laws.

## Personality and Traits

"*Oh brother of mine, may you rest peacefully now, your duty done. May your body rest upon the Republic's land. May your sacrifice save ten allies, or end ten enemies. You join the dead now, forever remembered by those who carry on the Republic's will*"
―Reaver's Prayer Book, Prayer for the FallenReaver was always an aggressive clone, and clearly did not play well with others. He took great pleasure in fighting, especially in close quarters. Under the influence of his 'vision' Reaver's aggression became more focused on those he deemed enemies of the Republic. He is also pragmatic, always taking the shortest route to his objective, never messing around and trying things if there is a faster approach available. This led him to ignore most clones, especially because they ignored him as well. He was only interested in clones that showed extreme loyalty or extreme effectiveness. This led him to interact almost exclusively with his brothers in the Clone Assassin Division. Reaver is not one to speak much or mince words. If he speaks it is to the point, whether he be talking about the mission or accusing someone of violating republic law. On Salteract Reaver killed fellow clones several times, stating that they had abandoned their duties or were defying orders.

Reaver's loyalty to the Republic comes from his fanatical belief in it, to the point it has become a clear religious icon for him. He would never willingly betray the Republic though if he was manipulated into doing so it would likely destroy him. Reaver carries a prayer book with him constantly, filled with republic laws, his own writings, and quotes he takes from other clones. Though he has memorized much of the book, its loss would be devastating for him. He recognizes that others find his religious tendencies strange, believing that they are not yet ready to learn of the republic's true majesty.

Reaver follows the chain of command strictly, following orders with pleasure and without question. The only time Reaver would defy the chain of command is when suspects an officer of failing in their duties. On Salteract Reaver had no issues when Thatcher ordered him to murder a number of COT troopers with his fellow assassins, killing them with ruthless efficiency.

## Skills and Equipment

"*I use an E-WEB because it allows me to solve up to 720 problems a minute, provided all those problems are downrange.*"
―Reaver to a fellow 327th trooper upon being questioned about his weapon choiceThough Reaver joined the Clone Assassin Division later than most of the other CAs, he took great pride in his work and learned well. Reaver was much faster than normal clones due to his knowledge of Teräs Käsi and he often combined this with his axes or arm vibroblade, often with great success. Never really one for subtilty, Reaver focused mainly on the weapons and combat styles he found most 'fun' while training with the clone assassins. This led to him renewing his obsession with heavy weapons, blaster cannons, melee weapons, as well as gaining some skill with medium range weapons such as blaster carbines. One of his greater achievements with heavy weapons was hooking up four E-WEBs and cycling through them when one overheated, something he still boasts about regularly.

Reaver was shown to have at least a decent faculty with machines, regularly fixing, maintaining, cleaning and blessing various weapons, vehicles, and occasionally even turbolasers. When CA-1963 modified an E-WEB by adding a DC-15X scope, tuning it for accuracy and massively decreasing the firing rate (creating the so called S-WEB) Reaver was able to understand and maintain it without 63's assistance.

While not exactly a useful combat ability, Reaver became a rather experienced priest within his one man religion. He regularly blessed arms and armor, and carried a custom made prayer book based on republic laws and his own writings about them. He firmly maintains that though the blessings have never shown any benefits in combat, they have also never had a proven downside either.

### Equipment

Reaver utilized the usual clone assassin armor, believing that his faith would be strong enough to shield him from any blows. If necessary Reaver could and would bring an E-WEB on defensive or ambush missions. If he is absolutely forced to engage at extreme range, he tends to favor the S-WEB. Though it may be clunky, it has massive range and packs a punch usually seen in anti tank weaponry. On other missions he would usually carry a carbine and often a rotary cannon or other heavy weapon. Beyond the usual clone assassin arm vibroblade, Reaver often carried at least one small vibroaxe, which he would use as a melee or throwing weapon. Reaver always carried at least a small container of 'holy bacta' into combat. It is unknown whether blessing the bacta improves its healing abilities.
