Commander Bly was one of the primary Clone Commanders in the Third Republic era and on, as well as having served in the Grand Army of the Republic in the clone wars. He was known for his headstrong and childish behavior until he was traumatized (for the first time) by witnessing his entire squad murdered brutally, some stabbed through the heart or head and others reduced to a charred corpse. After that he quickly made sure he was recognized for brutality. His trademark weapons are his dual pistols, and he despises explosions.
