Crosshair

Crosshair, formerly designated CT-9904, was a veteran clone commando who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars as part of Clone Force 99. Crosshair possessed genetic mutations that gave him exceptional eyesight and marksmanship skills. As a result, he acted as a sniper and a long-range combatant.

Upon the activation of Order 66, Crosshair was the sole member of Clone Force 99 that attempted to carry out the order. Frustrated with his team's disregard for the rise of the Galactic Empire, Crosshair was eventually selected by Governor Wilhuff Tarkin to lead his own Elite Squad and was given the military rank of Clone Commander. Crosshair would be deployed several times to hunt down his former squad members, who had defected from the Imperial Military and fled with the young female clone Omega.

Even though he, at some point, had his behavioral modification biochip removed, Crosshair remained loyal to the Empire, finding purpose in serving as an Imperial soldier and firmly believing in the New Order. Crosshair had hoped that Clone Force 99 would eventually band together again, albeit under the new Empire. As an attempt to facilitate this, he shot down his Elite Squad members in Tipoca City on Kamino and fought alongside his brothers in arms before being caught up in the destruction of the city. Though he survived, Crosshair refused to flee with his former squad and instead waited to be picked up by Imperial forces.

After spending several months getting medically cleared for active duty, Crosshair resumed his work as a trooper and was sent to Desix with Clone Marshal Commander CC-2224 "Cody," who ended up deserting the Empire after witnessing its violent methods. Following a mission on Barton IV, Crosshair killed his commanding officer, Lieutenant Nolan, after the Imperial had allowed Clone Commander Mayday to die, whom Crosshair had formed a comradery with. Detained by the Empire, Crosshair became a prisoner of the Advanced science division, a clandestine science and research division that conducted cloning experiments, and was brought to Mount Tantiss, a facility on Wayland. There, he was interrogated by Imperial scientists Doctor Royce Hemlock and Emerie Karr concerning the location of his former squad, Clone Force 99.

After over five months of imprisonment, Crosshair would escape Tantiss with the help of a recently captured Omega. Working together, Crosshair and Omega ended up reuniting with the Clone Force 99, in which Crosshair was begrudgingly accepted back into the squad. Reunited with his brothers, Crosshair would attempt leave his past behind him, recognizing that his actions as an Imperial soldier were wrong.
