Biography . Tyto was the nickname of a Human male and clone of Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett . Born on the aquatic world of Kamino , located in the galaxy ' s Wild Space region , Tyto was created to serve as a clone commando in the Grand Army of the Republic . When the Clone Wars broke out between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems , Tyto was deployed from Kamino and brought into active service within the Grand Army ' s Special Operations Brigade , under the command of Jedi General Arligan Zey . By the year 19 BBY , the third year of the Clone Wars , Tyto was serving as a member of Aiwha Squad , a special forces squad of clone commandos that also included the commandos Zag and Di ' kut , and was lead by Sergeant RC - 1013 — known informally as " Sarge " to Tyto and the other squadmates . In the final days of the war , Tyto and his clone brothers were sent to the Outer Rim agriworld of Garqi , where following a Republic bomb ing campaign against the Separatist presence , Aiwha Squad was tasked with searching for survivors . Upon investigating a ruined farmhouse , Tyto and the others came across a young child by the name of Evan . With his parents dead , the responsibility of seeing the boy to the nearby refugee camp fell to the commandos ; Evan , however , was reluctant to go with the clones and attempted to flee their custody and return to his damaged home , accidentally stumbling upon a OG - 9 homing spider droid . Tyto and the other members of Aiwha Squad attacked the spider droid , destroying it and saving Evan , earning the young boy ' s trust and respect . As night fell over the Garqian wilderness , Tyto was tasked with locating a suitable location for a campsite . Once settled in , he sat with his brothers and the orphan boy around a fire , while Sarge took some time to explain the life of a clone trooper to the curious youth . When the sun rose the following morning , Tyto and the others carried on until they reached the refugee encampment overseen by Jedi General Traavis . Aiwha Squad ' s commandos were congratulated by the Jedi Master for their efforts , and he informed them of the death of General Grievous — the Supreme Commander of the Separatist Droid Army — at the hands of Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi . The good news was short - lived , however , by the issuing of Order 66 , one of the one hundred and fifty of the Grand Army and which detailed that the Jedi had been declared traitors to the Republic marked for execution on sight . Having come directly from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine , Sarge ordered the squad to open fire on General Traavis ; Tyto and his squadmates complied , shooting and killing the Jedi General in accordance with the Chancellor ' s order . Personality and traits . Tyto had a taciturn demeanor , a sharp contrast to his Aiwha Squad comrade , Di ' kut , who was a sarcastic talker . Unlike many clones who preferred to remain clean shaven , Tyto sported a neatly - kept mustache and beard . His right bicep was also adorned with a black - colored tattoo of a Mandalorian mythosaur skull . Tyto appeared to show a preference for the color black , marking his " Katarn " - class commando armor with custom stripes of black paint . In addition , he equipped the shoulder plates of his armor with additional rounds for his DC - 17m blaster rifle ' s sniper attachment , which Tyto favored in combat and displayed considerable skill with as a sniper . Behind the scenes . Tyto first appeared in the 2005 comic story , " Orders " , from the of the " " comic series . Tyto was drawn by the Fillbach brothers , Matthew and Shawn , and the story was author ed by Ryan Kaufman , though Tyto himself received no dialogue . Oddly , while the other clone commandos of Aiwha Squad were given entries in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " , Tyto was not similarly featured in the 2008 reference book .
