Hunter (Clone)

Sgt. **Hunter** (ハンター, *Hantā*), is both a fictional character and protagonist of the *Star Wars* series created by George Lucas. He is a Clone COMDO SGT and the leading commanding officer of the Experimental Unit Clone Force 99.

He was cloned from a Mandalorian bounty hunter, albeit genetically defective. Like the other clones in his squad who each bore their own unique genetic mutations, he was modified with enhanced sensory abilities and tracking skills.

Hunter and his team fought for the Republic's Grand Army on many battlefronts during the Clone Wars, often turning the tide of battle with their unique abilities and unorthodox tactics.

He and most of his team's mutations and Echo's prior cybernetics caused their inhibitor chips to fail, allowing the Bad Batch to disobey Order 66. With the Empire rising, they defected to the New Republic with a mysterious female clone.

"*Blind allegiance makes you a pawn. A real leader protects his squad.*"

—Sergeant Hunter, to Commander Crosshair.

### Appearance

Hunter's appearance, unlike that of other members of Clone Force 99, closely resembles that of regular clone troopers and his progenitor Jango Fett. Other clone troopers such as Jesse could not identify his distinctions from a regular clone trooper by comparison to the rest of Clone Force 99. The entire left side of Hunter's face is tattooed with half of a skull. He has dark brown hair, and wears a red bandana at most times with a small white skull symbol.

## Personality

"*All right, what are your orders? We pick them off from the treeline one by one?*"
"*Actually, I was thinking we'd take a page from your book. Rush them head on.*"
"*Hah, I like your style.*"

—Hunter and Rex, during the Battle of Anaxes.
Hunter is a little gruff, but not unfriendly. He habitually expresses himself in straight words, although at times he does show a sense of humor. Hunter is described as strong and stoic. During the battle of Anaxes, Hunter played a role as a mediator between the regular clones such as Jesse and Rex, and the members of Clone Force 99. The sergeant had to deescalate rising tensions that resulted in physical actions, reminding the clones that they were on the same side.

When Order 66 was initiated, Hunter was reluctant to follow it and tries to keep the young Caleb Dume safe from the other clones. He was initially annoyed by the young enhanced clone Omega, warning her to stay away from them since the squad was "nothing but trouble." However, Hunter took a liking to her and insisted on returning to Kamino to retrieve her even though it placed his squad at great risk, saying she was one of them. Hunter would then develop a strong bond with Omega, becoming very protective and acting as almost a parental guardian towards her.

Hunter demonstrates a strong sense of morality and knowledge of right and wrong, to the point of disobeying orders he felt were unjust. When one of Clone Force 99's members Crosshair turns on his own team and berates them for letting Caleb Dume live, Hunter responds without hesitation that he did what he felt was right. Similarly, he refused to eliminate the "insurgents" that Tarkin sent them to eliminate on Onderon because they were only civilians and refugees.

## History

### Past

"*I've heard mixed things about these guys.*"
"*They have a 100% success rate.*"
"*It's not that they win, it's how they win that worries me.*"

—Jesse and Kix discuss the Bad Batch.
One of the millions of clones of the human male bounty hunter Jango Fett grown on the planet Kamino, Hunter is the leader of the experimental unit Clone Force 99, also known by its members as "The Bad Batch." The elite clone squad consisted of clone commandos with desirable genetic mutations, with Hunter's mutations giving him enhanced senses. He was able to feel electromagnetic frequencies from anywhere on a planet.

Hunter served as a Clone Sergeant, commanding the sharpshooter Crosshair, strongman Wrecker, and the technology genius Tech. The group flys in an Omicron-class attack shuttle called the *Havoc Marauder*. Clone Force 99 was named after the maintenance duty clone 99, who was killed in the Battle of Kamino.

Aside from Crosshair, Hunter and the other members of Clone Force 99 were minimally affected by the inhibitor chips implanted in all clones by the Kaminoans. Throughout the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Clone Force 99 had a 100% percent success rate in their missions, but had a reputation for their unorthodox methods and disobedience. Hunter lost count of the amount of missions they had completed, feeling that the action blurred together.

The Force was known throughout the Grand Army of the Republic to clone troopers such as Jesse and Kix, although Captain Rex had not heard of them. At some point in the war, Hunter met Commander Cody, and Clone Force 99 was given at least one suicide mission by him, but the members could not articulate who their regular superior officer was.

The members of Clone Force 99 also met and bonded with the family of the clone deserter Cut Lawquane on Saleucami during the war.
