## Biography

"*I have been abused, beaten, bruised, but I still got up, still fought, but he would never leave my mind*"
―Dagger's personal journal
### Life on Kamino

Dagger was created as CA-4782, a female Jango clone she was exceptionally rare and would've been placed for termination if her quick learning and determination wasn't noticed. She was placed into the Clone Assassin Program, where she would be exceptional and above average for a clone assassin. No one knows how she earned the name Dagger, but she wasn't afraid to show off why her name was that, Dagger was known to utilize lots of blades and daggers in her Teras Kasi, delving into the weapon side of the martial art, and her mixture of the blade and martial art made her a deadly opponent, but not as deadly as some of the best people in the program. During a training exercise on Kamino, Dagger was sparring Taravara when Taravara severely injured her and nearly shattered her arm, making it sore still to this day. Dagger was rushed to the medbay shortly after the incident where she met a Mandalorian Doctor named Mij Gilamar and clone named Alpha-Ø2.

Spar assisted Mij Gilamar in treating Dagger where he got to know her, he didn't learn anything about the clone assassin program, but Spar gave her good spots to hide, and then continued helping Dagger. Dagger would later take his advice and head to one of these spots, where she met Spar again and talked to him, they quickly developed a friendship as they were the outcasts of both their respective groups.

Eventually Dagger would consistently go to the hidden places and Spar would train her in things he learned that day. One night, Spar went up to Dagger and told her he had the memories of Jango Fett. He talked about how he would be leaving Kamino soon, and he offered Dagger a chance to escape with him. Dagger declined, she wanted to stay so she did.

Shortly thereafter, Dagger was moved to internal affairs, with the sole intent on making sure any future incidents like Spar don't happen and that any threats to the Republic are monitored, contained, and neutralized.

### Quelling the Kaminoan Rebellion

After Spar left Kamino, Dagger and another clone assassin named Cloak were then personally selected by Lama Su to be her personal bodyguards. Dagger and Cloak would accompany Lama Su at all times and do her dirty work on Kamino, but her real task was to monitor Lama Su due to Kamino's history, and to make sure they don't try anything dirty.

During the Battle of Kamino, Cloak and Dagger were not present as they were someone else on Kamino. Dagger and Cloak would still continue to guard Lama Su even as Lama Su started a secret batch of Anti-Troopers and Rail Class ARCs. Cloak gave protest to this idea but eventually believed in Lama Su's cause which placed him on a list of threats to Dagger. Dagger lied through her teeth and pretended to be loyal to the cause, while in actuality she wanted to stop it. Dagger made sure any attempts of setting up sleeper agents in the GAR didn't happen.

When the Muunilinst 10 arrived on Kamino, Dagger would assist in the killing of Alpha-01 One for giving Fordo suspicion about something going on, a decision she would regret due to One just being innocent. As the conspiracy unraveled, Dagger stayed at Lama Su's side until she spotted Spar. Realizing Spar was with the Muunilinst 10, Dagger was ready to make her move. She sabotaged part of Havoc's reconditioning so that it could be broken, then gave Rails under Havoc's order a different order so that the Muunilinst 10 could get to their LAAT and free the Investment.

When the Muunilinst 10 arrived at Timira City, Dagger was sent to spy on them. Dagger noticed Spar on a balcony and approached him, they had a talk while looking at the endless ocean. Dagger would later leave and send false details to Lama Su. Dagger would then hear about Taravara's incident right outside of Tipoca City. As the rebellion started to make it's climax, Dagger gave Fordo information and made sure the Muunilinst 10 and their new Anti-Trooper and Rail ARC buddies could enter. Dagger would later disappear after Lama Su's suicide during the invasion of Kamino by System Army Dorn.

### Searching for Spar

After the battle of Kamino, Dagger got off world and visited many outer rim planets searching for Spar and trying to locate him and eventually kill him. She later heard rumors of a Mandalorian with a group of ARC Troopers and traced the Muunilinst 10 to Coruscant. After struggling to get a ride to Coruscant, Dagger would finally arrive. She was greeted by Covert Ops Troopers that she swiftly took out. Dagger shortly thereafter met A'den Skirata, who took her to Arca Barracks and questioned her. A'den then disguised Dagger as a beta and Dagger would move in, waiting for Spar to return, also Dagger was shocked to hear Axis and Spar were together. Dagger then would give Kom'rk Skirata tips on how to meditate Teras Kasi. Since then Dagger has been waiting for Spar.

### Killing Cloak and monitoring the Nulls and Muunilinst 10

Dagger spent some time in Arca when Cloak and his group of lackeys assaulted Arca Barracks with a nanovirus. Suspecting it was Cloak, Dagger went out of her way to investigate him, even after his escape from the Muunilinst 10. Dagger eventually confronted the traitor on a Coruscant rooftop and fought him until he was killed, Dagger reported his death to republic high command and continued with her next tasks: making sure the Nulls and Muunilinst 10 didn't become threats, as well as neutralizing Spar. Knowing Spar interacted with the 10, she stowed away on their ship when they went to the 50 moons.

While crossing the barrier she met her worst fear, a mindless killer, which she overcame and continued on the mission, during her mission she concluded that the 10 were not threats, just a bunch of men who have no home besides the Republic. The Muunilinst 10 ended up above Mandalore on a hidden deserter sanctuary. She flew down to continue her monitoring of the Nulls and neutralize Spar. When she talked to Spar, she realized that he in fact calmed down and wanted a peaceful and retired life, knowing this fact, Dagger labeled Spar as no longer a threat, and didn't pursue any more action towards him. During Dagger's monitoring, Kyrimorut was nuked and she was captured by Caesar, where she learned more about the Nulls, and finally realized that they too aren't threats, just misguided and loyal.

Dagger was caught in a sale between her and her group with Abeloth, and forced to engage. When everything simmered down she was burnt and injured and needed an out, so she could return to the Clone Assassins now that her assignments were done. She abandoned the group in the middle of the night and traveled through the desert for days, almost feeling delirious but it only hardened her resolve.

### Returning to the Clone Assassins

Dagger finally made it to a Mandalorian outpost where she was treated with skin grafts, a dip in the bacta tank, and a speeder ride to Keldabe. In Keldabe she used a public comm to contact an older CA frequency, where '63 picked up, Dagger requested a shuttle and gear, which she received. Dagger was flown to the other Clone Assassins and assisted in the next battle, tackling a B1-A and stabbing it. Dagger then requested a transfer into the Clone Assassin Division where she was immediately given the rank of Lieutenant due to her experience and skill. Dagger also received warm welcome from her Clone Assassin buddies, who were glad to see her after her internal affairs ops.
