RC-1164

"Conflict has followed me my whole life. It is time I stop running from it."

- RC-1164 RC-01/164—simplified as RC-1164 and also known as Blade-64 or by his nickname of Hound—was a clone of Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett. Born in 32 BBY on the watery world of Kamino, Hound was trained by a Mandalorian Cuy'val Dar to become a clone commando in the Grand Army of the Republic. Placed in command of three other commandos, Hound lead the elite special forces unit Blade Squad as their sergeant under the famed 501st Legion. Hound and Blade Squad performed countless operations during the Clone Wars and excelled in combat, becoming quite famous among the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic, less so than Captain Rex or Commander Cody, but nonetheless quite famous.

When Hound was promoted to Captain, following his actions during the protection of Kamino, he was given command of his own company, the Vindicator Company, while command of Blade Squad was transferred to his good friend RC-1193. Vindicator Company and Hound achieved numerous successes in battle, but his health began to quickly degrade due to a unknown sickness.

One of his closest friends outside the Grand Army of the Republic, a reputed doctor named Remimos Calhos, offered to treat him for free. Hound was relieved from duty for the duration of his treatment. Remimos did not only manage to cure Hound's sickness, but also reversed his accelerated aging, which was causing the sickness. Most interesting was the fact Reminos managed to find Hound's inhibitor chip and removed it, informing his findings to Hound. The commando was shocked and tried to contact his brothers, but was too late, as Order 66 had just been issued.

When the Galactic Empire rose to power, Hound was so overwhelmed by his grief that he forged his own death and went into exile. During his exile he willingly received numerous implants, hoping this would make him harder to recognize. However, the commando would eventually set in motion a series of events that would lead him to joining forces with the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the New Republic after that. Hound initially began to serve alongside the Alliance's ground troops, but found a calling amidst the stars, proving to be an excellent in the ground, but almost unbeatable in space. The political gridlock that stopped the New Republic from taking action against the cruel First Order frustrated Hound vastly, pushing him to joining forces with the Resistance.

Early life and training
RC-1164 was born in the year 32 BBY, in the cloning facilities of Tipoca City, on the aquatic planet of Kamino. A clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, RC-1164 was created to serve in the Grand Army of the Republic as a clone commando. Granted advanced growth by the Kaminoan cloners, he was part of one of the first batches of clone troopers, and his early life largely incorporated Kaminoan flash training. Afterward he was placed under the direct training of a Mandalorian Cuy'val Dar training sergeant. As his training progressed, Six-Four proved himself an incredibly capable soldier, consistently scoring the highest of his clone brothers in weapon and tactics training. With these accomplishments in mind, the training sergeant assigned RC-1164 to Balde Squad, one of the first commando squads established by the Kaminoans, where he would serve as its sergeant.
