When TK-9767 was a young boy his parents were killed by imperial Stormtroopers who believed that they were aiding rebel groups in the sector, after their deaths TK-9767 was taken to an imperial academy on Corellia.
TK-9767 showed great promise at the academy and very quickly caught the attention of his superiors, who commended him for his great skill. When TK-9767 finally came of age he was sent off on his first assignment which was to intimidate a local crime lord into serving the empire, when TK-9767 got there with his squad they were immediately fired upon by the crime Lord's men who took cover around the door to the crime Lord's hideout. TK-9767 as a show of skill successfully flanked the guards at the door causing them to retreat inside the building, TK-9767 followed them inside taking a few of them out on his way in forcing the enemy even further back and allowing the rest of the troopers to fall in behind him. But just as things were going good the crime lord set a nexu on them which began tearing the troopers apart, TK-9767 had his Blaster knocked out of his hand by the creature forcing him to only use his combat knife, the Nexu with its claws dripping with the blood of TK-9767's comrades leapt towards him and reached a claw towards his head, but its claw fell limply against his helmet leaving a claw mark in blood on TK-9767's helmet as the nexus fell back with a knife through its head. After TK-9767 had slain the beast he under the orders given by his superiors executed the crime lord for defying the empire, afterwards TK-9767 painted over the mark left by the Nexu to make it become permanent, to always remind him of his first victory for the empire, since then all other troopers have taken to calling him "Claw" after the mark on his helmet. Claw Rose through imperial ranks quickly earning this place as a squad commander, him and his squad became top operatives for the empire undertaking missions that could not be accomplished by a normal squad, eliminating resistance wherever it sprouted committing atrocity after atrocity by order of the empire. Eventually Claw's squad caved saying they couldn't take it anymore and said they were deserting, Claw disagreed with their decision but accompanied them nonetheless as he felt his loyalties lay with them rather than the empire. Since their desertion Claw and his squad have been in hiding, doing odd jobs to get by and making sure to avoid the empire wherever possible.

Claw is loyal to his squad above all and will do whatever it takes to make sure they see another sunrise.

Deserter. 30: One does not simply defect from the empire and escape unpunished. Claw and his squad are shoot on sight if the empire ever discovers them
