## Biography

### Early Life

As one of the first standard clone troopers ever created, CT-03-1198 has always had what the Kaminoans viewed as defects. Being smart and inquisitive, which was not a good thing when it came to trying to create blind loyalty. He was never good with regular blasters, other than being decent with pistols. As such, his training was changed so that he would became a flametrooper. CT-1198 and CT-1115 were a part of the same cadet squad. Being some of the first flametroopers, their training was less specialized then it would be for future clones of the same skillset which allowed them to branch out more.

### First Battle of Geonosis

Upon graduation and the start of the war, **Adem** as well as the rest of his cadet squad were made a part of Inferno Squad. **Adem** was made a private upon graduation which ended up being for his benefit. Inferno Squad was used heavily during the First Battle of Geonosis as there Flame Projectors were the right weapon for clearing out the large amounts of Geonosians that lived in the hive systems. Nearing the end of the battle, Inferno Squad was sent deep into the catacomb like hives, they were ambushed and surrounded, While fighting for there lives, the MK I Insulated Armor began to overheat. It was lacking proper respiration, and oversight of the Kaminoan cloners. That, combined with the tight walls and confined area of the hive tunnels, spelled disaster for the flametroopers.

Whilst being blinded and choking on the thick smoke filling his suit, a geonosian was able to get inside the whirlwinds of fire, tearing open **Adem's** insulated armor in multiple places as well as stabbing him deep in the neck. Seeing the bug on **Adem**, but not knowing of the rips in his armor, Ember used his flamethrower to burn the bug. The flames going right at **Adem** as well as the smoke filling his suit, burned his body in many places. The fire cauterized his neck wound, which is the main reason he survived the encounter at all. All told, 3 of **Adem's** original cadet squad, the Sergeant, and 4 of the other cadet squad were all killed during this ambush. Thus starting the cycle of almost constant replacements to Inferno Squad throughout the war.

### The Sith Worlds

Due to his injuries, **Adem** was hospitalized during the Battles of Korriban and Bosthirda, only returning to combat at the First Battle of Drumund Kass. During this battle, the skills of Inferno Squad came to great help once again, in dealing with the Sith cultists as well as the stormtroopers from the Fracture.

### The Deep Core

During the 415th's campaign in the Deep Core, Inferno Squad was used to varying degrees of effectiveness. The skills of the flametroopers proving to be a needed against the zombie infestation on the planet Keeara Major.

The next planet in the deep core campaign, was Prakith. Upon touching down on the planet, the 415th was immediately attacked by wolf-like creatures. This surprise attack was the place in which the then Sergeant of Inferno Squad would die. Making **Adem** and Ember the only two remaining members of the original Squad. Getting trapped in the time loop like the rest of the soldiers, **Adem** learned the various fighting skills of the planet like the rest of the 415th. While **Adem** had never been great with regular blasters, this is where he thrived, learning the sword combat and archery in particular.

After Prakith, **Adem** was passed over in promotion, giving his squad mate Ember the rank of Sergeant. The quoted reason for this was **Adem's** separation and lack of connection with his brothers, as well as his serious injuries received at Geonosis. **Adem** was made the Corporeal of Inferno Squad, a position he would hold for a long time throughout the war.

Inferno Squad was not used on Byss, and as such, was a part of the group who supplied backup and rescue to the battle at Yen Sharm Docking Station.

### Further Missions

Throughout the rest of the war, Inferno Squad was used less as there specialties were not needed as often. frequently taking the sideline and only providing backup when at all necessary. Being used to mild effect on Pasaana and the Skirmish with the Mining Guild.

Present during the campaign on Rakatan, Inferno Squad was sent into the tech caves were the dark nexus wreaked havoc on the unsuspecting minds of the clones. Ember and **Adem** both resisting the pull of the Nexus against each other due to there strong bond together, however most of Inferno Squad was once again lost.
