OMG! Claw as a character from Star Wars! Yes, yes, he is. But if you look at the name, this version of Claw doesn't go by that name, but rather he's Rukon Vorscon, a Lorsorian from a planet of feline humaniods that was over looked by both the Republic and the Empire.

Rukon was just your average happy-go-lucky children of the planet of Lorsora until one day he was attacked by a Kurtan, a 15 foot tall six-legged sabertoothed leopard. Rukon managed to get away with just a minor scar near his eye (which you can see) due to in a panic Rukon threw his hands towards the Kurtan and accidently force pushed it off a cliff.

Rukon's father knew from this moment that his son would eventually train to be a jedi, which in fact Rukon took to like a kid takes to candy.

Then one day when visiting a neighboring planet he got a chance to witness a clone army known as the 501st. Rukon was awe struck from the precision and determination of these soldiers. He wanted to someday be one of them.

Though, Rukon continued his training as a jedi until one day he abandoned his training and sought out the 501st. He found them eventually and joined the army to be in one of their ranks. Though he kept his lightsaber with him in case the need for it should arrise, he kept it hidden and tried his best to fight with the rifle he was given. His stratigist mind and ferious determination led him to win many battles he was sent into and he quickly climbed the ranks until he was a general. However the more fights he fought in the more wrong it seemed. Like he wasn't fighting along side the 501st of the Republic that he knew.

Sadly, he realized that he wasn't. This was still the 501st, but now they went from being heros of the Republic to villians of the Empire. And he, in fact, was now one of the Empire's soldier generals. Upon this realization he immediately shedded his rank from his uniform, left his helmet, and took only the rapidfire rifle he was awarded with and he lightsaber and forsaked the army he once served to turn against them.

Rukon's lightsaber is not an average one. During one of his battles he found a mysterious red crystal that glowed a fiery color and produced a little heat. He decided to install the crystal into his lightsaber himself. Now his lightsaber glows with the same fiery color and the heat from the lightsaber has increased. Sometimes now with a swing of his lightsaber it'll ignite the air around it as if it had been imbued with fire itself.
