Fortem

Fortem (aka "Agent Fortem") was a clone leftover from the original batch ordered by then Jedi Master Syfo-Dias for the Clone Wars. He was left in a stasis chamber with the intentions of Dark Side alchemy tests at the orders of Emperor Palpatine, but they never came. The clone was in stasis for many years until Palo arrived at Tipoca City on Kamino to order his own clone army using the DNA of the deceased Bad Batch member Tech.When Palo learned that clones could not be produced as fast as his droid army, he abandoned the idea. When Fortem's clone body was discovered by Meatbag, the supervising doctor, Kaminoan Nam Se, informed Palo that an Artusian Force crystal was initially supposed to be introduced into the clone's blood in hopes of creating a powerful soldier, but the plans fell through.

Upon Palo's orders, the experiment was finally carried out and Fortem was fused with the crystal, becoming very powerful and attuned to the Dark Side, a side effect of Sith alchemy.

His first test was to confront the Parjai Paratrooper Clone squad that would soon arrive after Palo sent a fake distress signal to their nearby ship in orbit. When the clones arrived, he made quick work of his brethren, but not without the paratrooper commander nearly taking everyone down with him.

Later, Palo executed Order 65, an Imperial contingency that all clones were pre-programmed to carry out in the case of the Supreme Chancellor becoming a threat to the government. Fortem entered into Palpatine's private chambers and killed who he believed was his intended target, only to soon discover the Emperor had tricked him. He also suspected that Palo, too, was in on the ruse.

He arrived back at Palo's private palace on Coruscant to confront the Sith Lord, but was met with Iron Knights and an ancient Sith spirit who momentarily possessed his body.
