Simi Noor was a Force-sensitive Padawan in the Jedi Order who lived during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Noor, lacking experience with the Grand Army of the Republic's clone troopers, did not know that the clones possessed informal names in addition to their assigned numerical designations and was surprised to learn the truth. Though Noor questioned what sorts of things the Republic's clone soldiers thought about, the Padawan incorrectly believed that the clones did not suffer and were perfectly happy, as they had been created for war and knew no other life.
