79 was the only ARC trooper to cause trouble for the Kaminoans as a nine year old. After being banned from Phase I clone trooper armor, becoming a bounty hunter and Mandalore. After a rout at Norval II, of which there were only three survivors, a shellshocked Spar deserted from his calling, and became a wanderer for many decades, before finally being killed by Ailyn Vel, who mistook the clone for her father, Boba Fett.

Early life
Designated Ct-, he was one of the few aberrant clones of Jango Fett that was not reconditioned or destroyed by the Kaminoans during the early period of the Clone Wars. Alpha-Ø2, who became known as "Spar" to his fellow clones, was among the first hundred test subjects produced on Kamino.

Mandalore
Eight and a half years after his decanting, something happened to trigger the memories of Jango Fett that were hidden in the DNA of the clones, and Alpha-Ø2 became obsessed with rebuilding the Mandalorian supercommandos envisioned by Jaster Mereel. Or so the story went. In fact, Spar later joked with Mij Gilamar about faking a neurological disorder on Kamino. After months of "voices" in his head and "backaches," he was smuggled off Kamino by Gilamar aboard the cargo hold of Slave I.

Alpha-Ø2 deserted Kamino and traveled to Mandalore, where legend held that Mandalore the First established the Mandalorian Crusaders. During his time there, the Mandalorian known as Fenn Shysa attempted to get the clone to accept the title of Mandalore, and pretend to be the son and heir of Jango Fett. Spar was reluctant at first, though he did eventually accept. He managed to draw in the surviving members of the Mandalorian Death Watch, as well as some two hundred soldiers from local police forces on Mandalore, to create a force known as the Mandalorian Protectors. After assuming command of the Protectors, Alpha-Ø2 became known as Mandalore the Resurrector, reviving the ancient tradition of naming leaders after the first Mandalore, though unlike most of his predecessors, Alpha-Ø2 ultimately answered to the Mandalorian government.

The Protectors joined the fighting of the Clone Wars, carrying out covert operations for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Armed with a BL-series droid army, the Mandalorians devastated worlds such as Kamino and New Bornalex. However, by the war's end, all but three of the Protectors were killed. Only Tobbi Dala, Fenn Shysa, and Alpha-Ø2 survived the Clone Wars, but Alpha-Ø2 was a broken shell of the man he once was. His team was attacked on Norval II while trying to capture Padmé Amidala, and Alpha-Ø2 just barely survived.

In the end, he learned that another Mandalorian, Kal Skirata, was close to finding a cure to the shortened lifespan that the Kamino clones all had, and abandoned his role as the Resurrector to travel to Coruscant with former Jedi Bardan Jusik and former ARC Trooper A-30, or "Sull," leaving Shysa with no Mandalore, and a new falsified story to concoct.

About two months after joining up with Skirata's band, Spar, along with Sull, Jusik, and the former Republic Commando known as Fi rescued Skirata's daughter from a POW camp on Anaxes, just as the Separatists were beginning the Invasion of Coruscant.

Late life
He wandered the galaxy for many years, unsure about his place, until he was apprehended in the Extrictarium Nebula by Ailyn Vel around the year 20 ABY. Vel believed that Alpha-Ø2 was actually her father, Boba Fett (due to the identical physical appearance and similar armor), and murdered him in an act of revenge for her mother's death. He had lived for 52 years.

Aftermath
Ailyn Vel took Alpha-Ø2's Mandalorian armor, and after learning that Fett was still alive, used it to masquerade as Fett.
