"Where'd you store the ordnance?" "Half at the safe house and half under Fixer's bed."

- Kal Skirata and Ordo

Null-11, informally known as Ordo (named by Kal Skirata after Canderous Ordo, a Mandalore in the Old Sith Wars period), served as an Advanced Recon Commando in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Ordo's armor coloration, red, denoted his rank as an ARC captain.

Ordo was one of six surviving Null-class Advanced Recon Commandos who served as "black ops" commandos under their training sergeant, Kal Skirata. He had the distinctive habit of clenching one fist to his side when under stress.

Training and childhood
As a child, Ordo and the rest of the Nulls were deemed too unstable and insubordinate to be used in combat. As a result, the Kaminoans decided to terminate them. Skirata opposed this and began arguing to spare the clones.

Ordo's brother, Mereel, seized the opportunity and grabbed Skirata's small hold-out blaster, tossing it to Ordo. He trained it on Orun Wa, but Skirata talked him down and took it upon himself to train Ordo and the rest of the Nulls. Ordo became the unofficial, and sometimes official, leader of the Nulls. Ordo was said to have accompanied Skirata wherever he went, as the Nulls were prevented from operating in the field due to their extreme independence and perceived unpredictability.

Military career
When Kal Skirata was sent to Coruscant to assist the clone commandos of Omega Squad in diffusing a hostage crisis, Ordo went with him. The situation took a turn for the worse, however, with the death of a Jedi Master at the hands of the terrorists. Ordo then took command and when they stormed in, the shooting was over in twenty seconds.

Following a string of Separatist terrorist attacks on Coruscant that killed many clone troopers, Skirata arranged with General Arligan Zey to perform a black op to destroy the cells. In this operation, Kal chose to work with fellow Mando training sergeant, Walon Vau; clone commandos Delta Squad and Omega Squad; Jedi Knights Bardan Jusik and Etain Tur-Mukan; and Ordo. Ordo would later bring in fellow Null, Mereel.

Ordo was technically in command of the op, but he deferred to Skirata almost the entire time. He was responsible for much of the recon that was done in preparation for the mission; he also obtained a large consignment of thermal explosives. These were used to draw out the terrorists by putting them on the black market. As a fail-safe, Ordo had Mereel added chemicals to the 500 grade explosives, causing them to detonate if any metal was inserted into them unless a stabilizer compound was added to neutralize the traps before sticking any metallic substances in.

As part of his recon work, Ordo switched places with a clone trooper named Corr in order to infiltrate a government office where he suspected a CIS mole was operating. There he met Treasury agentBesany Wennen who at that time was also working undercover. Due to her concern over the welfare of Corr, Ordo was instantly suspicious of her.

The terrorists took the bait and the sale of the explosives was arranged. Plans were made to eliminate the terrorists and Ordo led the team, which now included Corr. The operation was a success. Following the operation, Ordo began a relationship with Wennen.

Later that year, he travelled to Bogg V with Skirata, but was then sent to Qiilura, to go and help Etain, who was bleeding and at risk of losing the child she was pregnant with. Ordo requisitioned a 2-1B medical droid to help him, but when he arrived, it became clear that Etain was going to be fine, so he wiped the droid's memory of the event.

After rescuing Besany from a Republic agent that was tracking her due to her illegal database searches into the finances of the Republic, Ordo married her in the traditional mando way, a short oath to raise warriors. When Order 66 was issued Ordo acknowledged it but chosed to ignore it. In the end he berrated Jedi General Arligan Zey for the Jedi's willing use of a slave army and walked away as ARC Captain Maze kills General Zey without a fight. Ordo then escapes Triple Zero to the clone bastion on Mandalore.

Personality
Ordo was emotionally unstable, like the rest of the Nulls, although he was different. When working on a mission, Ordo would completely disregard everything not related to that task, but would try and complete the mission with very little attention and collateral damage. He frequently clenched his fists at his sides. At night, Ordo sleeps with the blanket over his whole body because of habit when he used to do it on Kamino while trying to shield himself from the thunder. Ordo either loved a person to the point of taking a bullet for them, or hated them intensely, like the rest of the Nulls
