Cuyan Kryam was a Human clone born on Kamino in 30 BBY, as part of the Rebellion On Kamino. He was part of the ARC Troopers that were infused with Mandolorian—specifically Jango Fett—and Echani genetics, which led to his silver-colored eyes and higher reflexes. When the Empire attacked he and his "brothers" had already reached the age of twenty. During the battle his squad managed to break off from Imperial contact before being ambushed by Shadowtroopers, the resulting firefight ended with both group killed off except for Cuyan, who was knocked unconscious from shrapnel from another battle striking him across the head. During the confusion he was shipped to Coruscant by the native Kaminoans, however due to concussive effect of the shrapnel he lost the majority of his memory.
