Clone Commander Dak was originally an Alpha ARC trooper, cloned in 32 BBY from Jango Fett's DNA. He was trained by the Mandalorian bounty hunter himself and taught how to fight as primarily as an individual. However, of the Alpha ARCs, Dak was one of the troopers who showed the most preference to fighting with squadmates, and it was this taste for teamwork that resulted in Alpha-44's rise through the ranks.
