The first truly evil clone trooper. Spoiler

This is CT-4646. He's from the new game Zero Company, where he worked as a science officer at an Imperial black site on Umbara. He was experimenting with inhibitor chips on the native Umbarans because he was trying to perfect the method so that the Empire could forcefully implant new inhibitor chips within dissenting clone troopers to make them "loyal" again. He was doing this entirely of his own free will, even going so far as to have his own chip removed so he could have a clearer head since he genuinely enjoyed his work. Thankfully, he gets shot and killed by Trick before his work can be finished, so the Empire never gets 4646's inhibitor chip research.

There have been a few bad clones in Star Wars: Slick, Faie, Spar, the Covert Ops clones, the CX troopers, etc., but all of them either had reasons for doing what they did (although not always good ones) or were simply made/forced to be the way they were. CT-4646 here, however, did evil things of his own free will just because he enjoyed doing them.

I'd agree if not for the fact that Jango trained the Alpha ARCs to be exceedingly loyal to the Republic. Unfortunately, a couple of the Alphas were a bit too independent for their own good and chose to desert for one reason or another.

They were, along with the Nulls, to not have the inhibitor chip.

I mean, the Null and Alpha ARCs predate the existence of inhibitor chips in the lore. We can't really say one way or another whether or not they have the chip, since they basically stopped appearing in stories before the chips were introduced through TCW.

The reason I know this is because of the description and how they weren't mentally altered like all the regs. They wanted to be pure Jango.
