Alright ladies, gentlemen, and Non-binary people. I normally don't make posts like these but my good friend @sadiecoocoo has made a post about this Clone and I wanted to share some of my thoughts about this fella.
This Clone is named Vik. He was a prisoner of Mount Tantiss, which was under the control of Dr. Royce Hemlock. Vik, along with many Clone Troopers, were captured and experimented on by Hemlock and his scientists.
Later he and a few other Clones joined The Bad Batch to take down Hemlock and his CX Assassins. I have to be honest, when I first saw Vik, I thought he was a Clone I was supposed to know BEFORE watching Bad Batch but no, he is entirely a brand new character no one has seen before. Which makes me think of what could he have been BEFORE being a subject of Hemlock's experiments. So… Who is Vik?
Here are some of my headcanons.
Vik is a short name for Viktor.
Vik attended 79's while he was not battling.
Vik was a member of the 104th Battalion. I know this is an absurd headcanon, but let me explain.
The way Vik killed that one CX Assassin who was trying to kill Wrecker looked like he saw many of his brothers slaughtered by Droid Commandos. That face right there is a man who says “I won't let any more of my brothers die!”
In the Clone Wars, the 104th Battalion lost a lot of good soldiers, and the fact that Vik saw one of his defective brothers about to be killed was the moment he snapped.
According to Sadie's headcanons, Vik was a Clone Captain. To be quite honest, I find it hard to see Vik as a Clone Captain, but that's me. But then again, I won't be surprised if there was a Captain Vik or a Captain Viktor who was a part of the Grand Army of the Republic.
Vik must have been a part of a lot of battles so the fact that he (among other clones) was a part of Hemlock's dirty experiments proves to me he was worth something valuable to Hemlock.
So yeah, those are my headcanons of Vik.
