Unit 8311 was a rogue CIS battle droid who survived the Clone Wars and would go on to form a major criminal organization, the Steel Legion. Due to a programming glitch in his production, he was comparatively intelligent, had a free will, and had emotions. He was considered to have somewhat cynical personality, which over the years would develop into a slightly more understanding one, although he was always characterized by his looking down upon organics and his general patronizing attitude to non-droids in general.
