Character of the week : Captain Clone

Captain Clone is one of the legends, one of the biggest names in HCS history. Captain Clone was one of the first soldiers recruited into the HCS by Oojok. Before this he served as a Centurion in the Clone Army of the pre-human contact Clone Nation. Captain Clone proved a soldier of rare skill and soon rose to prominence in the HCS, becoming the head of the HCS.

The HCS suffered numerous heavy defeats due to a lack of training and equipment but managed to avoid total defeat thanks to Captain Clone's leadership. Under his strategy the HCS grew to become a force that first matched and then destroyed the DDS culminating in Total Triumph. Captain Clone's stock in the empire was by now at an all-time high but his enemies were circling.

The Church hated Captain Clone, fearing in him a secular successor to Oojok, they engineered his downfall. They framed him for attempted murder on Oojok and Captain Clone was sent to prison. A few years later Captain Clone was released and given a seemingly suicidal mission : kill Windscorpion.

Captain Clone led a surprise attack on DDS GHQ but failed to kill Windscorpion in an epic battle, however Rotarios shot Windscorpion in the back, killing the DDS icon. Captain Clone returned to Cloneworld in triumph. Oojok restored him to HCS commander-in-chief.

Later on when Oojok re-organised his empire he made Captain Captain the head of the "western empire", a prestigeous role that makes him the defacto deputy to Oojok. The signs are that Oojok wishes to take the empire along a more secular course and Captain Clone is the man to lead it, will he have the last laugh on the clergy?
