CT-5297

"Sir, permission to execute this scum with extreme prejudice."

- Jester before executing Captain Marco

CT-5297, or more commonly referred to as Jester, is the demolitions and heavy weapons expert of Metal Squad, a Clone Trooper unit currently serving in the Special Forces of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. Jester is known as somewhat of a trigger-happy killing machine, and has been known to even randomly shoot things in his quarters while off duty. Very few question why he has such a strange habit for killing things, but most have come to an agreement that it is best to leave things with him the way they are.

Jester donned a set of upgraded Clone Gunner armor, which provides him with increased protection against projectile and explosive attacks. A fitting suit for someone of his expertise, and for someone who is constantly on the front lines blasting enemy formations. Jester has been known so survive shots and blows that would kill most others in an instant, the most notable probably being surviving a slash from a vibroblade across the chest while battling Clone assassins on Kulama. Sergeant Stoner, the squad leader, is more than happy to have someone as resilient and full of firepower as him on the team, as long as he does not accidentally blow up the entire squad in his zeal.

Like, the rest of Metal Squad, Jester was once part of the 314th Assault Battalion led by Captain CT-9099 Marco, who complied with Order 66 and almost executed their Jedi commander. Since that time, Metal Squad became dedicated to hunt down their former Clone commander, and once they finally did find him, Jester was the first to pull the trigger, unceremoniously blasting the Clone Stormtrooper to pieces with his grenade launcher.
