ARC-8497

ARC-8497 or "Burt" was an Advanced Recon Commando (ARC) Captain during the Clone War. He was from the beginning a very lazy clone. He didn't want to train, he didn't want to join a squad or to be promoted. Shaak Ti was often talking to him about his issues. He only said he didn't want to be seen as a "regular trooper". Shaak Ti told him: "Begin your training! Then you will become strong... trust me!". He remembered these word and that's how he got his name, Burt. [B for "begin", UR for "your" and T for "training"]. He was by the time promoted to ARC trooper and after a mission at Fonduo he was getting the rank of Captain. He was at 19 BBY joining the "427th Hawkbat Battalion".
