Background
Canard, being a "failed" Ultimate Coordinator experiment, was supposed to be disposed of. However with the aid of a worker that felt sorry for him, he escapes from the Mendel research facility and is found by a group of scientists from the Eurasian Federation. He is brought to yet another research facility where attempts to gather information on his abilities are carried out through torture and other cruel tests. They often refer to him as a "failure", which emotionally scars Canard and becomes fuel for his anger and hatred, particularly of Kira Yamato. It is known that he escapes this facility at least once, events that lead to an encounter with a mysterious man who is aware of the project that spawned Canard. This man suggests to him that he should become the "real version" of himself. Canard contemplates this and states the he wants to be the "real version" to which the man responds by telling him that Kira Yamato is the "real version" and thus the person he must defeat. It is unknown if he is caught or returns voluntarily, but he does end up back with the Eurasian Federation where he is then linked to the group "Special Operatives X" under the command of Admiral Gerard Garcia.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
