Biography
Clone Wars
Like the rest of the clones, Scorch was born on the planet Kamino. He was then assigned to Delta Squad, a elite commando unit along with Boss, Fixer and Sev. Scorch serves alongside his teammates on a number of battlefields, ranging from the rocky planet Geonosis, the streets of Coruscant to the snowy Mygeeto. Towards the last few days of the war, Scorch fought in the Battle of Kashyyyk, during which he and his squad was forced to abandon fellow team member Sev.
Imperial Career
After the formation of the Empire, Scorch and the other members of Delta Squad (minus Sev, who was abandoned) served the newly-formed Imperial Army, as members of the Imperial Commandos.
Later, Scorch was involved in the training of the first generation of non-cloned Imperial stormtroopers on Daro. After Gregor, another clone commando was captured trying to desert the base, the rogue clone commando unit known as "the Bad Batch" infiltrated the planet to free him. Scorch then engaged Gregor and the Bad Batch and pursued them, wounding Gregor and Tech before being incapacitated by a flurry of stun blasts by the rest of the Batch. He later regained consciousness and joined the imperial forces to capture the leader of the Bad Batch, Hunter, taking him into a Imperial custody.
Personality
Scorch is Delta Squad's wisecracker, regularly cracking jokes during battle. But at the same time, he is also an excellent soldier, serving as the explosive technician of the team. He also liked to blow things up, even receiving his nickname from an explosion that blew off both his and his mentor's eyebrows.
