CZ-416 was built by Czerka Arms in 20BBY as a prototype Infiltrator and Assassin Droid as an off-shoot of a far less illicit Combat Droid programme intended for use by a potential Republic Army.

Following the creation of the Grand Army of the Republic and it's Clone Legions, Czerka realized the unlikelyhood of recieving a sales contract with the Republic for it's new Combat Droids and thus began looking for new markets. One of the potential markets was in the shady area of Infiltration and Assassination - and so it was with these fields in mind that Czerka engineers began their work on, amongst others, CZ-416.

While CZ showed great promise in initial testing, Czerka engineers came to the conclusion that CZ displayed too much independence, partially due to his programming but also due to a glitch in his behavioural core. This glitch had caused him to develop something resembling sentience to a much greater level than other AIs would. This attributed to Czerka's decision to reprogram him. Viewing this as a direct attack on his person, CZ freed himself and broke out of the Bespin research facility he had been created in using his built-in Fusion Cutter.

Masquerading as a Protocol Droid, a part of his extensive Assassination programming, CZ was able to hitch a ride off-Bespin by enrolling with a team of local diplomats travelling to High Chunah. While in transit CZ acquired the group's funds and disappeared into the masses at the first spaceport, travelling to Hutt Space after overhearing talk of bounties a plenty in that part of the Galaxy.

Arriving on Nar Shadaa, CZ set about taking out targets of bounties wherever he learnt of them, operating in the shadows and with no interest in actually collecting the bounties, but simply compelled by his programming to hunt. Having gone rogue and thus be in lieu of anyone actually ordering assassinations, he has resorted to hunting down bounties regardless of their morality, in order to fulfill his function

Expertise

CZ-416 is programmed to hunt down and kill his targets without remorse and is designed to actively alter his programming based on his experiences, effectively learning from his every encounter the same way a sentient would. CZ is as such compelled to seek out challenges to better himself as an Assassin and has operated under these parameters tirelessly since he escaped his creators, leaving behind him scores of dead targets.

Overthrow the Empire

CZ is aware that the reason his series of droids was not introduced is due to the introduction of Clone Troopers. Even though they were indirectly the cause of his creation, this has caused CZ-416 to be stand-offish against the Empire's Clones, who he refers to as "Laminates". CZ sees himself as a far superior creation to the Laminates.

Bounty: Czerka Property (20)

Built as a unique prototype by Czerka Arms on their Bespin research facility, CZ-416 represents a large investment in time and money for his creators who would dearly like to recover him for reprogramming. CZ-416 has been on the run ever since his escape in 20BBY, with several close calls with Czerka's mercenaries in the past.
