CC-2357 fought in the first clash of the Clone Wars on Geonosis, and has seen almost constant action since then. It wasn't long after that battle, though, that as an newly promoted officer he almost died from an attack from local wildlife. He escaped but the two blood-red scars on his face are a permanent reminder to him that there are always dangers in a battle beyond just the enemy in front of them. His troops began calling him Captain Red, and he's gruffly accepted the nickname.
Red feels his latest assignment is mere escort duty; he'd much rather be on the front lines, but has to admit it's good to visit home once again.
