History: ARC-5178 was born and raised on Kamino. His training was quick, thanks to the Clone's Flash training methods. 5178 or Spades seemed to be an excellent shot, and his intelligence was above that average mark. He was the top of his class, and that was when he knew he wanted to be a leader. Spades began his training with Alpha-17 right after he graduated basic training. During this training he became even more independent than he already was. 5178's ARC training was brutal, and he even lost a few of his comrades during training. Spades was declared Captain of his training squad. There were three squads, only one squad would become ARC troopers. Because of Spade's intelligence, leadership, and battle smarts, his squad came out victorious.
Spades became an ARC trooper, and his first battle was during the Clone Wars. The Battle of Bespin was very casualty filled. The Republic was not expecting the attack on their oil refineries. Spades was one of only a thousand clone troopers. They fought valiantly, but most fell. The Separatists thought they had killed all the clones. The only survivor were Spades and his comrade Crash. They retreated, only because they were ordered to by Master Glynn-Beti. Spades participated in many other battles, his greatest mission was on Coruscant. The Jedi Council had been tipped off that an assassination attempt of Plapatine would happen during a speech. Spades, now Captain Spades, lead a small group of ARC troopers to investigate. They managed to catch the Bounty Hunter just in time. The Hunter wasn't even well-known, but it was revealed that Darth Sidious had hired him. Spades managed to execute him right before he took the shot. Lord Palpatine thanked him personally. Now, with droid falling upon Coruscant, Spades has been put into action. He has been paired up with Jedi Knight Morrin, and a squad of Clone Commandos. They have been tasked with the mission of not letting the Jedi Temple fall.
