CT-1001 "Scorcher"

"Troopers, let's get in there and start breaking things."

--Scorcher rallying his troops.

"This..all this...it's...bigger than any of us, or anything I could've imagined. All I've ever meant to do...I only wanted to do my duty. The war...the nightmares...they're...finally...over."

--Scorcher's last words before dying in Tailyellow's arms.

CT-1001 "Scorcher" is a Clone trooper of the 410th Shock Regiment who became a professional mercenary employed by Commander Havoc. He is a genetic brother of CT-0700 "Sev", a Clone commander of the 212th Battalion who was killed by his former general Tailblue during the outbreak of the Twin-Tail Purge three years prior. Scorcher formerly served under Tailyellow's command during the Second Ultimeguil War, where he assists her in managing Ultimeguil prisoners and enforcing order in liberated areas. During his service, at times, there are several hints that Erina and Scorcher grow very close to each other over time, and even shared a near-romantic bond.

Scorcher first became a mercenary after resigning command over the 410th Regiment only after orchestrating atrocities against ordinary civilians during the Twintail Purge, leaving him temporarily unemployed for the next three years. However, his fortunes turned around when he is offered an opportunity by Havoc to fight for the Empire once more, which he unrecluctantly agrees upon.

Scorcher serves as one of Tailsilver's first adversaries. He is armed with a minigun, a wrist flamethrower, and an electro-axe, as well as an ability to attribute his new armor with electricity, which explains how he seems immune to Tailsilver's own electrical power, but despite his rather fearless personality in combat, he does have a humorous fear of lightsabers, and would show his cowardly side once Tailsilver first brings her lightsaber into play and begins attempting to attack him with a barrage of missed attacks, but enough to keep him running.

Scorcher later reappears in a mission to recapture another renegade clone, a young girl named , but was thwarted by Tailyellow and Tailsilver. During the ensuing fight, Tailyellow flashed a blinding light towards him, causing his sleeper inhibitor chip to be destroyed, and was subsequently knocked out once he regained his sight. However, he wakes up after a few seconds but the force from Tailyellow's knock-out blow in turn caused Scorcher to have memory flashes pertaining to his role in the Twintail Purge. Out of guilt and paranoia of a conspiracy he never knew about, Scorcher became psychotic and escaped insane, but it didn't take long for them to track his location, allowing Tailyellow and Tailsilver to give chase. They tracked him to an abandoned weapons warehouse not far, and, as the two proceeded with caution with their weapons at hand, tried reasoning with him to come out peacefully. However, Scorcher remains unphased and instead convinced them that he's an unarmed victim, forcing the two Twintails to slowly drop their weapons (and remove their Twintail ribbons to prevent them from materializing more weapons). This enabled him to easily lure both of them and trap them with ray shields. Therefore, the Twintails are forced to heed his next words, where he psychotically tried to explain the existance of a conspiracy to destroy the Twintails from the very beginning, and even accused several individuals within the Twintail ranks, such as Twoearle, of having prior knowledge beforehand. As he continues to argue, a team of New Republic troopers manages to infiltrate the warehouse and attempt to apprehend the rogue ARC trooper, but as Scorcher desperately tried to defend himself using one of Tailyellow's pistols, he was fatally shot by the squad leader, and, after exchanging his last words with Tailyellow, dies at the arms of his former general.
