Chainer

Introduction
Chainer is a Echo-class clone commando from the same organization as fellow clone Boss. He worked with Task Force 589 in Operation Cold Shoulder, Operation Takedown and Operation Hercules. He filled in for Boss the heavy weapons specialist on the team and served as squad leader in Operation Takedown.

Background
Like Boss, not much is known about Chainer's past. In fact, more is known about Boss than Chainer at the moment. Other than the fact that he is an Echo-class clone and a member of Echo Squad, Boss's own unit, all information is limited to anecdotes from Boss.

Operations
Chainer worked with the rest of Echo Squad during Cold Shoulder, planting many of the Thermal Detonators used and removing troublesome guards that spotted Task Force 589. He then helped the Echo Corps detatchment providing cover for the extraction. He also served in Operation Takedown as squad leader, filling in for Boss while he recovered from his injury. He is most noted for using a DC-15A to burn Alejandro Rojas alive after the arms dealer mocked the clone troopers' plight during the Clone Wars.

Personality
To call Chainer a loose cannon would be inacurate, but not by a lot; the execution of Rojas in Takedown is proof enough of that. His abilities as an Echo-class ARC have led him to become reckless with his own safety, but he always makes sure to attend to the needs of his comrades, possibly a sign of Boss's influence. His preferred weapon in the 589 is a Vulcan EBF-25 because it reminds him the most of a Z-6 Rotary Blaster Cannon, his chosen weapon back home, although he used akimbo DC-15 blasters in Operation Hercules after the Vulcan they recovered ran out of ammo. His most reckless move was jumping out of a burning chopper without a parachute so no one had to sacrifice themselves. He deeply respects Ghost, Chipmunk, and Ace for their abilities, but finds Sweetwater to be an incompetent "Shinie".

He also gets annoyed when Sweetwater incorrectly calls him "CC": meant to be short for Clone Commando but is actually short for Clone Commander.

 * "Seems like the power is out down here, guys. Hope you guys aren't afraid of the dark!"
