Eagle Eyes was a sniper in the Eagle Elite Battalion who served under Jedi General Kadg Amon-Di Carrick and Admiral Karnal of the 493rd Battalion.
Biography[]
Eagle Eyes was born in 25BBY as a standard CT-class clone trooper but his marksmanship was soon realised by the Kaminoans and he was trained as a sniper by a proffesional marksman. When he reached the stage by which he could join a battalion he was chosen by Captain Rex for service in the 501st but after some debate was employed in Kadg Amon-Di Carrick's 493rd and later his Eagle Elite Battalion.
Early life[]
CT-3735 was born on the ocean world of Kamino where he underwent basic combat and intellect training until the Kaminoans recognised his expert marksmanship with almost any weapon provided to him. following this discovery the Kaminoans hired Bounty hunter sniper "Sharp Eyes" to train him and exploit his skills to the limit. After the additional training he went into service in the 493rd Battalion taking up the name of his mentor as a sign of respect after he died on a job, CT-3735 would however change his name again when the Eagle Elite Battalion was formed including the Commander's own nickname: Eagle. Hence, Eagle Eyes.
Clone Wars[]
Battle of Geonosis[]
Eagle Eyes', Sharp Eyes as he was known then, first campaign was, as with most 1st generation Clone troopers the Battle of Geonosis at which he served not as a sniper but as a gunner in an Republic Gunship from which he sharp-shot Tanks and Transports from a height out of range of their cannons.
Mission to Andat[]
After the Battle of Geonosis Jedi General Kadg Amon-Di formed the Eagle Elite Battalion of the most skilled members of the 493rd Battalion, Eagle Eyes included.
One of the new battalion's first assignments was a stealth mission to Andat to retreive a drive with the access codes to every room in the Senate Building with which the separatists could access protected rooms where more valid codes were kept. The mission started off reasonably successfully but the Battalion were soon spotted by Commando Droids who persued the team forcing them to retreat. The mission's failure led to the suspension from duty of the entire Battalion's by the 493rd's Admiral: Wolfgang Karnal.
Campaign to Bestine[]
In 20 BBY General Kadg Amon-Di and Commander Sam Carrick led a campaign to the water planet of Bestine. It started off relatively successfully until it wa sdiscovered that the scouts sent out to monitor the base had been massacared and replaced with commando droids. he following battle was brutal and during it Kadg ws paralysed by one of the droids, however the skirmish did inspire courage in the troops of the 493rd and as soon as reinforcements had arrived from the planet's atmosphere they launched a full frontal attack on the base claiming both it and Republic victory.
Battle of Metalorn[]
Following the Eagle Elites victory at Bestine they progressed to the Techno Union shipyard of Metalorn where a distraction manouver was implemented. The standard 493rd Clone troopers led by Sam and Kadg Amon-Di Carrick pulled the Droid's forces away from the stronghold whilst the Eagle Elite Battalion (led by Commander Eagle) snuck in from behind. Eagle Eyes died in the way up the cliff upon which the fortress was situated, he had his line cut by one of the cliff's inhabitants: a Metalorian Rock Worm.
Post-mortem[]
Eagle Eyes' death was briefly mourned by his colleagues but their grief for him was overshadowed by theirs for the Battalion's Commander: Eagle. Eagle Eyes was quickly replaced by another sniper nicknamed Sharps (The first six letters in his job as Sharpshooter).
Personality and traits[]
Eagle Eyes respected his General and thus carried out his every command to the letter (although often with a daring twist which he claimed "Makes the job more interesting,").
Behind the scenes[]
I created Eagle Eyes while trying to come up with a name for an Eagle Elite sniper. I was clueless as to what I should call him until I went to a screening of the Marvel comics movie: 'Avengers Assemble (UK) or The Avengers (US)' I found myself liking the way the name 'Hawk eye' sounded and started working on ways I could adapt it to suit my purposes. I came up with the name Eagle Eyes just days after I invented Commander Eagle and my friend The Eagle Elites. He made a concept sketch on the computer and I did one on paper, then we merged the two designs and came up with his iconic armoured look.
(Kadg speaking now) Sorry, but actually, I came up with the name Hawkeye but then my friend (Captain Aqua) told me that he was one of the avengers. I then later changed the name to Eagle Eyes (but basically the rest of it is true).
