Personality & Traits

General Overview Sam is a man of few words, preferring actions over words. From a childhood starting with loss, he is very protective of his men. Willing to do what he asks of his men himself, his philosophy of command is led by example. Age hasn’t slowed him down, still maintaining a rigorous regimen of exercise, physical training and marksmanship. He is not quick to anger, though will do what must be done when the job calls for it.
Strengths & Weaknesses Sam is a combat veteran of the Clone War, having seen the entirety of the conflict and coming out the other side. Brutal years of fighting has built the Cathar into the man he is today. He is capable of breaking down doors single handed without aid. Marksmanship in the Expert Rating Class.

However those same years of combat have left him bitter, jaded and with a deep hatred for the new Galactic Empire, the Clones he once commanded and the tragedy of the Jedi he had served with. He has seen much loss, both personally with many friends dying in the war and though worlds razed and destroyed in the conflict itself.

Personal Dossier

Personal History Born somewhere in the galaxy in 65 BBY but ended up on Dantooine as an orphaned child, he was taken in by the Kyle family and named Sam after their son who passed the previous winter. It was a modest childhood that followed the young cathar, working every season on the harvest and plowing. Uneventful for the most part until the summer of his 16th year when raiders attacked his home world, his adoptive parents perishing during the raid. Suffering from the loss of the only parents he knew and left with nothing but his rage to focus on, he enlisted in the Republic Judicial Forces.

Attending Basic Training on Anaxes he chose the path of an enlisted man to ensure he was sent to a posting as quickly as possible. His training instructors noted an aptitude for small team tactics, leadership and devotion to the cause.

Sam spent almost 3 years on various peacekeeping missions, until he was selected for Officer candidate school where he spent the next year as an officer cadet graduating with honors.

When the Clone Wars broke out late into his career, he was appointed a Major in the newly formed Grand Army of the Republic and given command of a regiment of Clones along with a Jedi General with whom he would form a respect and friendship. He fought in some of the most brutal engagements of the war, under the flag of the Open Circle Fleet. His regiment had a reputation for having a high success rate but a high attrition rate.

On Rhen Var in 19 BBY, during one of the most horrific snowstorms that battered the planet, Order 66 was declared against the Jedi. Sam was ambushed on patrol with his Jedi counterpart and though both put up a valiant fight against the clones, his Jedi counterpart fell and Sam had no choice but to flee.

As of 18 BBY, rumours persist of a lone soldier fighting against the new Empire, avenging the Jedi and waging a one man guerilla war against the Juggernaut of the Empire and its new TK troopers.
