Around 21 BBY , Kix participated in a hunt for the Confederacy of Independent Systems Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies , General Grievous , on the planet Saleucami under the command of High Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi . Kix , along with troopers Jesse and Hardcase , went with Clone Captain Rex to scour through the planet ' s wetlands on BARC speeders in search for escape pods that had been jettisoned from Grievous ' crashed ship . When two commando droids attacked the clones , Rex was shot in the chest . Kix , Jesse and Hardcase took the injured Rex to a nearby homestead to recover , while they returned to join Kenobi and his team . Sometime after Saleucami , Kix joined Rex and the 501st Legion on the planet Umbara , where he served as a medic during a battle there . During the initial assault on the native Umbarans , Kix and the team served under the command of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker . Skywalker , however , was relieved of his duties after General Pong Krell arrived , who assumed command of Kix and the 501st Legion on Umbara . During the battle , it was revealed that General Krell was secretly working against the Republic , and so Kix helped in the hunt for , and subsequent apprehension of , the traitorous Jedi . Biography . Hunt for Grievous . " Kix " was the nickname of a clone trooper medic who served in the Grand Army of the Republic . Like all clone troopers , Kix was a clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett . Around 21 BBY , during the Clone Wars , Kix served the Galactic Republic under the command of High Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi . After a battle above the planet Saleucami , Confederate General Grievous used an escape pod to jettison from his starship and landed on Saleucami ' s surface . Chasing after Grievous , Kenobi gathered a team of clone troopers , including Kix , to hunt down the cyborg General on Saleucami . The team found the wreckage of Grievous ' ship , and Commander CC - 2224 , nicknamed " Cody , " told Kenobi that the ship had crashed recently . Kenobi decided to split the group into two teams and ordered Captain CT - 7567 , nicknamed " Rex , " to find the other missing escape pods with troopers Kix , Jesse , and Hardcase , while he , Cody , and Crys stayed behind to go through the remains of the crashed ship . After mounting separate BARC speeders , Kix ' s team rode through the wetlands of the planet ' s surface . Ahead of them , two commando droids were stationed on top of a hill overlooking the clones . Utilizing a blaster sniper rifle , one of the droids shot Rex , knocking the clone Captain off his speeder . Jesse ordered Kix to turn his BARC around and protect the Captain , while he and Hardcase drove toward the hill from where the shot had been fired . Jesse and Hardcase destroyed the droids while Kix examined Rex ' s injury , and Kix informed Jesse that Rex ' s injury was severe . Hardcase told Kix and Jesse that the two droid commandos might have called for backup , and they needed to find shelter for Rex . After noticing domesticated eopies , Jesse concluded that they were on farmland , which meant there was a homestead nearby . Kix attached a flatbed onto the side of his BARC speeder and laid Rex on it before the team drove off to find the farmer ' s homestead . Upon arriving at the nearby homestead , a female Twi ' lek , Suu , greeted the clones warily , pointing a rifle at the intruders . Kix and Jesse informed her that they were friends and they needed a place to settle the injured Rex for the night , and Suu gave the clones permission to use the barn . After Kix placed a bacta patch on Rex ' s wound , he regained consciousness , and Jesse and the other troopers informed him of what had recently transpired . Kix told Rex that he was in no condition to fight and that he should rest . Before Kix and the team left to continue their search for the escape pods , Rex gave Jesse the responsibility of leading the search party . After the clones boarded their BARC speeders , Kenobi contacted the group via comlink and called for Rex . Jesse responded and informed the Jedi Master that Rex had been injured , and that the Captain had given him the duty of leading the search for the escape pods . Kenobi told Jesse that Grievous was heading for an abandoned escape pod , and ordered the troopers to drive westward , trapping Grievous between the two squads . Later , Jesse contacted Kenobi and informed the Jedi that Kix and the clone troopers had a visual of the escape pod . Grievous was the first to arrive at the escape pod and Kenobi had already engaged Grievous ' forces by the time Jesse ' s team arrived on their BARC speeders . As Kix , Hardcase and Jesse fired their speeder ' s blaster cannons at Grievous ' battle droids , Jesse spotted an approaching Confederate shuttle in the sky and warned Kenobi via comlink . After a clone trooper onboard an AT - TE walker told Kenobi that the walker ' s guns were overheated , Kenobi ordered Cody and Jesse to cover him as he raced toward Grievous . Kenobi and Grievous engaged in a lightsaber duel as the Confederate shuttle approached them , eventually coming to a stop as it hovered above the escape pod . Grievous fired his tow cable at the hull of the shuttle and fled in the vehicle . While Kix remained with Hardcase , Jesse and Cody — aboard their speeders — returned to Kenobi after dispatching the remaining battle droids . The Jedi Master told both clone troopers to contact the fleet and order them to send a transport to pick them all up . Umbara Campaign . Around 21 BBY , the Republic launched a massive attack on the planet of Umbara . Kix served under Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and Clone captain CT - 7567 nicknamed " Rex " . However , Skywalker was asked to return to Coruscant and meet Supreme Chancellor Palpatine for an unknown reason ; leaving General Pong Krell in command of the 501st . As the 501st made their way to the Umbaran capital , Kix notified Rex that the battalion ' s troopers were getting exhausted . After Rex told Krell , the Jedi told him the clone troopers needed no rest . The clone troopers are hard - pressed in holding their current position under the relentless Umbaran attacks from the ground and the air , and are unable to break through to support Obi - Wan Kenobi . Kenobi asked General Krell to assault a nearby airbase which is being used as a supply staging area for the capital ' s defenses . The battalion regroups and proceeds towards the airbase . Citing the urgency of Kenobi ’ s current situation , Krell discards Rex ’ s suggestion to scout for a secure route , ordering the troops to advance along a central gorge , despite Rex ' s protest that the narrow route will only allow advances by single squads . During the attack on the Umbaran airbase , Kix made an effort to take care of the injured and complained that Krell ' s plan would result in too many clone casualties . Rex insisted that he could aid the wounded later . After hearing this , Kix told Rex he sounded just like General Krell . When Advanced Recon Commando CT - 27 - 5555 " Fives " and clone trooper CT - 5597 " Jesse " betrayed General Krell ' s order — to not destroy the Confederacy of Independent Systems supply ship — Kix was one of the troopers that was preparing to execute Fives and Jesse . Like the other clone troopers , he purposely missed them and assisted in the apprehension of Dogma . Kix also took part in the capturing of Jedi General Pong Krell alongside his captain . Battle of Kiros . Later in the war , Kix was sent to Kiros after Roshti decided to negotiate with Count Dooku for the welfare of his people . The Republic forces landed on the planet and made their way to the headquarter , however the separatist commander , Darts D ' Nar , planted bombs around the city . After the initial skirmish on Kiros , Jedi master Obi - Wan Kenobi received a message from the Separatist commander , the Zygerrian Darts D ' Nar , who requested to talk to him alone to discuss the terms of surrender . Believing that D ' Nar wanted to surrender , Kenobi went to the governor ' s tower alone . When Kenobi entered the main room of D ' Nar ' s headquarters , he saw the commander talking to Dooku and the Zygerrian Atai Molec via a holoprojector , assuring them that the situation on the planet was under his control . As Kenobi entered the room , he was taken under guard by two BX - series droid commandos , and Dooku ordered D ' Nar to bring the Jedi to him . D ' Nar told Kenobi that in fact he wanted the Galactic Republic to surrender , revealing that he had planted thermal detonator bombs throughout the city ; D ' Nar was intent on activating them and killing everyone if the Republic refused to comply . To prove his point , he ordered the tactical droid , which was also present at the scene , to activate one of the bombs . The bomb detonated near the Republic encampment , injuring a number of clone troopers . A clone trooper was injured , but the trooper was cared for by Kix . Personality and traits . As a trained clone trooper medic , Kix believed that when it came to the health of his comrades , he outranked them . Instead of worrying about his enemies , Kix cared more about the welfare and livelihood of his fellow troopers . During the Battle of Saleucami , Kix respected Rex when the clone told him of how he had been injured after being shot by a commando droid ' s sniper rifle . He took great concern for Rex ' s health , and advised Jesse and Hardcase that in order to see the full extent of Rex ' s injury , he had to remove pieces of Rex ' s armor . After Rex handed the leading position to Jesse , Kix cooperated with Jesse ' s orders that were given to himself and Hardcase . As a field medic , Kix was equipped with medpacs , as well as other first - aid commodities , to help fellow injured clone troopers during a battle . The clone trooper also carried a blaster rifle . On the left side of his head , Kix had a tattoo that read , " A GOOD DROID IS A DEAD ONE , " in Aurebesh . His clone armor sported light blue markings . After attaining Phase II armor , his 501st armor had additional red markings that signified his status as a medic . Behind the scenes . Kix first appeared in " The Deserter , " the tenth episode in the of the , which aired on January 1 , 2010 . Like all clones in the show , Kix was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker .
