Biography
CT-3414 was cloned on the watery world of Kamino and born in the year 32 BBY. As a rank-and-file trooper in the Grand Army of the Republic, he recieved basic clone trooper training.

CT-3414 became known among his fellow clone troopers for his general cheerfulness and steadiness under fire. By 1 year after the Battle of Geonosis, he was serving in a battalion of clone troopers under the command of a Jedi General and his Padawan on a remote Republic base.

While helping unload a supply ship carrying munitions to the base, CT-3414 heard a thermal detonator about to go off and yelled for the nearby Padawan to look out, throwing himself on top of her to shield her from the blast when the malfunctioning detonator and nearby crates of explosives blew up. While protecting the young Jedi from the ensuing explosions which tore apart the hangar, he lost his left hand and both of his legs were severely damaged.

Along with other seriously injured clones, CT-3414 was to be terminated according to protocol, but the Padawan he had saved managed to convince her Master, the Jedi General, to issue an order to the contrary. He and other clones who had lost limbs in the mishap were issued cybernetic replacements, paid for by the General himself, after the Jedi decided that the Republic's protocols were wrong.

Soon afterwards, 72 clones who had been most badly injured in the explosion were formed into Iron Company, a semi-official offshoot of the larger battalion they had belonged to, and CT-3414 was promoted to the rank of captain. He also received a new Phase II helmet, complete with Jaig eyes, to honor his actions during the explosion in the hangar and prior incidents. CT-3414 went on to lead Iron Company, under the command of the Padawan he had saved and who had in turn saved him, throughout the remainder of the Clone Wars.
