Earlt life
Like all members of the, CC-77 was cloned from and raised and trained on Kamino. He was trained by Jango Fett himself and eventually became captain of the 501st legion.

Battle of Muunulinst
In the opening stages of the Clone Wars, General Obi-Wan Kenobi led an army to Muunilinst, where the InterGalactic Banking Clan was manufacturing substantial droid armies for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Fordo was among the troops sent, and he was to lead a team of and eight infantry clone troopers along with Leutenant Rex. Their objective was to make their way to the headquarters of Banking Clan leader San Hill, independently from the rest of Kenobi's forces; they would rendezvous with Kenobi there. Before entering the system, Kenobi personally assured Fordo and his men, reminding them that their mission was of the utmost importance in the greater context of the upcoming Battle of Muunilinst.

Fordo and his men made their way to the planet surface in a Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry, as did most of Kenobi's forces, while Commander Anakin Skywalker and his pilots engaged the Banking Clan's starfighters. Before reaching the city of Harnaidan, Kenobi ordered Fordo and his troopers to break off, and begin their operation. As they made their way into the city separately, their ship was shot down, and crashed in an abandoned street. Fordo and his men were unharmed, however, and he ordered them to debark, with caution. They soon came under sniper fire, however, and one clone was lost in the attack. Taking cover behind what remained of the gunship, the captain had a spotter locate where the snipers were. Once their locations were determined, Fordo had one of the clones use a PLX-1 portable missile launcher to wipe them out utterly, causing considerable damage to the surrounding architecture.

Once the area was clear, Fordo led his men through the city streets, towards Hill's headquarters. Along the way, they encountered an Armored Assault Tank, but Rex was able to dispatch it single-handedly. Using a commando recon droid, Fordo determined the target's location, and spotted a large cannon at the base of Hill's tower. Reporting to Kenobi, the captain was given permission to proceed. Fordo led his troops to the base of the tower, and then, along with them, rappelled up to the position of the cannon. The clone troopers quickly dispatched the droid guard stationed there, and Rex destroyed the visible command booth at the top of the tower with his PLX-1. The captain's men then placed a large amount of explosives, rappelling to the top of the tower as the cannon exploded below. At the top of the tower, they waited for the arrival of General Kenobi.

As planned, Kenobi rendezvoused with them at the top of Hill's tower. Blowing their way through the roof, Fordo and his men barged into Hill's war room, summarily destroying his droids with the help of the general. However in the confusion Hill managed to escape, locking his allies inside where they were forced to surrender.

Death
"Come on! Show yourself you cowardly bastard!"

- Fordo just before he is killed by Asajj Ventress.

After the ground battle was complete, Obi-Wan, Rex and Fordo saw a mysterious starfighter flying through the city streets closely followed by Anakin Skywalker. When Skywalker went after the starfighter, despite Obi-Wan ordering him not to, Kenobi asked Fordo if he had the coordinates. The clone did and so he took a squad of clones after Skywalker.

The clones followed the Jedi Commander to Yavin IV, where they briefly met up with Skywalker. Then they split up and looked around the jungle before being attacked by a mysterious Force using enemy who killed every clone trooper present. Fordo briefly saw the mysterious enemy and fired at her by Asajj Ventress easily parried the clones bolts and removed his head. Anakin found Ventress standing over Fordo's body before engaging the Dark Acolyte in a vicious duel.

Personality and traits
Anything but a subtle man, Captain Fordo preferred a direct fight rather than complicated battle strategies. Because of this he called Asajj Ventress a cowardly bastard when she used the Force to kill most of his troops instead of engaging them directly. Fordo fearlessly stood up to Ventress when she revealed herself to him but was easily slain by the dark Jedi.
