- Birthplace: Kamino

- Age: 46 (?)
Description: Standing at 6' even, he has a lean but muscular build, short brown hair, piercing hazel eyes, his face always looks like it has a hint of sadness in it. He has a nasty blaster burn scar just behind his right eye on the temple. In his rare off time, Arcane dresses in loose, flowing clothing otherwise he practically lives in his Katarn-class commando armor painted in dull flat black with dull silver trim.
History: A clone commando from the Clone War days, he and his 3 brothers of Zeta Squad survived through most of the Clone Wars. From Battle of Geonosis to Battle of Kashyyyk when Order 66 was issued. Arcane was the name given to him by his trainers on Kamino and his pod brothers for having a knack at being at the right place at the right time. Arcane had early on shown to have a flare for close quarters combat, thus he was given additional training in using a pair of vibroblades, or as he calls them, Vibro Shortswords. From the squad's initial activity on Geonosis thru most of the Clone War, they worked closely with one Jedi Knight known as Severon Damber Vill. Jedi Severon had taken an interest in Arcane, giving him further training in using his blades so now; anyone watching closely will see his fighting style very similar to Jedi melee combat. Severon also instilled some of the Jedi's teachings into Arcane.
When Order 66 was issued, Zeta Squad were on Kashyyyk having just finished a mission and waiting on the arrival of their Jedi Commander. Arcane was the only one of the 4 who did not want to follow through with the order, saying it was wrong. Later, Jedi Severon found the barely conscience Arcane surrounded by his 3 dead brothers, all obviously killed by Arcane. Only serious injury on Arcane was a blaster burn on his temple just behind his right eye. Arcane gave Severon a brief report on what happened, but Severon just nodded like he already knew about it or expected it. Severon took Arcane away on his personal ship. Later on another ship, Severon placed Arcane in a Cryo Stasis Tube. Severon told Arcane that this was needed, for it was not a safe time for either of them. Severon told Arcane that he would be woken later, maybe not by Severon but later. The last phrase Arcane heard from his mentor has stuck in his memory to this day, "When you have woken fully, come look for me, I will be waiting." After that, Arcane remembers very little except that a droid army had boarded the ship, killing all they could find, but mysteriously stopped and ceased functioning.
It was about 30 years after being placed in stasis that Arcane was found and released by a squad of the ABG, and since then has joined with them. He has fought a number of battles, been on a number of missions with the various Jedi and soldiers of the ABG. Arcane has developed an attachment to most of the members of the ABG, to the point that his life is more expendable than theirs is and acts upon it. After a mission where one member died, Tebo, Arcane felt some grief over it to the point it opened up various repressed memories as well as 'visions' of his former mentor asking him to find him. This has resulted in a slow fall into insanity where only time Arcane feels relief and a firm grip on reality is in combat. Others have seen him having flashbacks and calling them by other names. Markus is heard regualtly saying, "Crazy Clone Trooper."
Arcane is noted by his fellow ABG members of having this obession with a particular snack called 'Hot Pockets". Even to the point of carrying a mini-cooker and a seemly never-ending supply of these snacks.
