In 22 BBY , after the outbreak of the Clone Wars , Boil was among the troops dispatched to liberate the Twi ' lek homeworld of Ryloth from the Confederacy of Independent Systems . Led by High Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi and Clone Commander CC - 2224 , Ghost Company was assigned to destroy the Separatist proton cannons based out of the city of Nabat . After the company reached the city , Boil , along with fellow trooper Waxer , was assigned to scout ahead . During their recon mission , Boil and Waxer stumbled upon a young Twi ' lek girl named Numa . Despite protests from Boil , Waxer decided to take her with them , and the girl led the two clones to the remains of her shattered home . There , the three were attacked by several gutkurr creatures , but escaped through a secret passage shown by Numa . After rendezvousing with the rest of Ghost Company , Boil participated in a raid on the Nabat courtyard , where Separatist battle droids had rounded up the city ' s inhabitants near the proton cannons . While Ghost Company distracted the droids , Boil , Waxer , and Kenobi went through a secret passage shown by Numa , liberated the Twi ' leks , and destroyed the cannons . Later in the war , Boil took part in a battle on the planet Geonosis under the command of General Kenobi . After Kenobi ' s LAAT / i gunship was shot down by enemy fire while attempting to land on the planet , Boil and Waxer rescued the Jedi General and escorted him to the Republic ' s position . Biography . Assault on Ryloth . A clone of bounty hunter Jango Fett , the clone trooper nicknamed " Boil " was born on the planet Kamino and bred to fight in the Grand Army of the Republic . During the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems , Boil served under Clone Commander CC - 2224 — nicknamed " Cody " — in the Ghost Company unit of the Grand Army of the Republic ' s 212th Attack Battalion . In 22 BBY , Techno Union Foreman Wat Tambor took control of the planet Ryloth and subjugated its Twi ' lek inhabitants to an oppressive occupation . In response , the Republic initiated an offensive to liberate the Twi ' leks . Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano were able to destroy the Separatist blockade surrounding the planet , allowing the ground invasion forces to land . Alongside High Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi , Commander Cody , and the rest of Ghost Company , Boil boarded the LAAT / i gunship " Crumb Bomber " , which departed for the city of Nabat . Aboard the gunship , Kenobi and Cody instructed their men to utilize blasters and EMP grenades only , in order to avoid destroying the Twi ' leks ' home . At that moment , Separatist J - 1 semi - autonomous proton cannon s below attacked the Republic " Acclamator " - class assault ships , forcing them to pull back . Aboard one of the transports , Jedi Master Mace Windu contacted Kenobi via a holoprojector and tasked him and Ghost Company with eliminating the cannons so the transports could land . After reaching the planet ' s surface , Ghost Company took out several B1 battle droids in a bunker on the outskirts of Nabat and entered the city . Kenobi assigned Cody to pick his best men and scout ahead , and Cody chose Boil and two other troopers , Wooley and Waxer . Seeing that Nabat was abandoned , Cody and Wooley went to search the courtyard , while Boil and Waxer were ordered to go south and return to the Republic position by an appointed time . In one of the city ' s alleys , the clones stumbled upon the young Twi ' lek orphan Numa , whom Waxer wanted to take with them . Boil was against such a decision , believing that the girl would only slow them down , and the two started to argue . The two then noticed a Separatist recon droid flying nearby , and they hid in the alley until it left the scene . The droid ' s appearance prompted Boil to hurry Waxer , but the latter continued to insist on taking Numa with them and ultimately convinced Boil to do so . Numa initially thought the clones to be droids and bit Boil ' s finger when he reached to her . To calm the girl and prove to her that they were living beings , Boil and Waxer removed their helmets and gave her a ration bar . After tasting the bar , Numa called the clones " nerra , " a Twi ' leki word unknown to the two . Boil and Waxer returned to their scouting duties , and Numa followed them . The girl , however , soon ran in the direction of the recon droid , and Waxer chose to follow her there , much to Boil ' s dismay . Numa led the two clones to her shattered home , and Waxer noticed her tooka doll lying on the floor . After Waxer gave the doll to Numa , she began to cry , and the clones comforted her . Liberating Nabat . Boil then received a transmission from Cody and realized that they were late . He wanted to answer Cody , but Waxer convinced him that the best way to explain their delay would be to reach the Republic position and tell Cody that their comlinks had been jammed . Boil agreed , but before the clones were able to get very far , several gutkurr beasts attacked them , and the troopers were forced to retreat with Numa back into the home . In order to escape the creatures , Numa led the clones into an underground passage , and the three re - emerged near Kenobi , Cody , and the rest of Ghost Company , who had just fought off a number of gutkurrs themselves . Conversing to Numa in Twi ' leki , Kenobi discovered that she had the ability to lead them to the Twi ' lek prisoners , who had been rounded up at the courtyard and were being used as " living shields " for the proton cannons . While Cody and the rest of his company created a diversion to distract the droids , Boil went through a secret passage with Kenobi and Waxer to free the hostages , and they were successful in doing so . Kenobi then took control of one of the proton cannons . With help from Boil and Waxer , who loaded the weapon with shells , the Jedi was able to destroy the other cannons . The T - series tactical droid commander TX - 20 , used his Armored Assault Tank to destroy Kenobi ' s cannon , however , and blasted the Jedi , Boil , and Waxer aside . Numa , worried for her new friends , ran over to the clones . After they recovered , she ran over to Kenobi . TX - 20 ' s tank targeted her and Kenobi , but the now - freed Twi ' leks attacked the tactical droid and destroyed him . With the cannons ' menacing fire disabled , Mace Windu and the transports were able to land . As the Republic forces prepared to head to the capital city of Lessu to retake it and free the planet , Boil said goodbye to Numa and promised that they would return . Numa then called the clones " nerra " one last time , and Kenobi translated for them : " nerra " meant " brother . " Ultimately , the Republic liberated the planet and wiped out all remaining droid forces . Geonosis . Later in the war , a rebellion occurred on the planet Geonosis , where the first battle of the war had taken place . The native Geonosians , led by Archduke Poggle the Lesser , constructed new droid factories and began producing battle droids for the Confederacy . In response , the Republic launched an assault on the planet , hoping to capture Poggle the Lesser and destroy his newly ray shielded factories . The Republic invasion force was divided into three groups , led by Generals Kenobi , Skywalker , and Ki - Adi - Mundi . All three strike teams were to break through the Geonosians ' defenses and reach a rendezvous point , where they were to reassemble to attack the shield generator . Boil , along with Waxer , accompanied the strike force led by Kenobi and Commander Cody . The group set off for the planet aboard LAAT / i gunships and was able to reach the rendezvous point despite heavy flak fire from the Geonosians . After landing , Cody circled his All Terrain Tactical Enforcer tanks into a defensive formation , and the clone troopers engaged the enemy Geonosians . It was soon revealed , however , that during the landing Kenobi ' s gunship , the " Bad Kitty " , had been shot down and had crashed five kilometers away from the clones ' position . In order to rescue Kenobi , Cody called Boil and Waxer and ordered them to check the " Bad Kitty " for survivors . The two troopers made their way through the battlefield to the downed gunship and opened it . Inside the craft , they found the injured Kenobi and clone trooper Trapper , the only survivors of the crash . Provided with covering fire from the Republic ' s AT - TE walkers , Boil and Waxer escorted the two to Cody ' s position . Shortly thereafter , Skywalker ' s and Mundi ' s troops — along with some BTL - B Y - wing starfighter s dispatched by Admiral Wullf Yularen — arrived to assist Kenobi ' s men and destroyed the shield generator . As the battle continued , Boil piloted an All Terrain Recon Transport , providing support for the Republic forces in their fight against battle droids and Geonosian warriors . Kiros . Boil was among the Republic forces that were sent to liberate the Togrutan colony world of Kiros , after it had been occupied by the Confederacy . The Republic troops were led by Kenobi , Skywalker , Tano , Commander Cody , and Clone Captain CT - 7567 . After fighting their way through droid resistance , Boil — who piloted an AT - RT — and the Republic forces reached the Governor ' s tower , where the Zygerrian Confederate commander Darts D ' Nar was locked up . After a perimeter was established around the tower , ensuring that no one would escape from it , Boil reported on the progress of the fight to Kenobi . The battle was ultimately won by the Republic , although it was discovered that the entire Togrutan population had been taken off - planet and forced into slavery by the Zygerrians , who intended to sell them at an auction . Personality and traits . Like all clone troopers , Boil had the height of 1 . 83 meters . He had a fair skin complexion , black hair and brown eyes . During the Battle of Ryloth , Boil displayed a very by - the - book attitude , and when things went against his beliefs , he was easily annoyed and often responded with sarcasm . Hardened by the war and eager for combat , Boil did not have much compassion for the people of Ryloth at first , using the derogatory term " tail - heads " when referring to them and looking at their helplessness as a weakness rather than taking pity on them . Considering himself a soldier , not a babysitter , he was reluctant to help Numa , believing that he and Waxer should be following orders instead of wasting their time looking out for her . As time progressed , however , and Boil witnessed the girl ' s bravery and tenacity , he developed compassion and grew to care for Numa , coming to deeply respect and appreciate her . Having endured the most trying of ordeals during the war , Boil and Waxer became friends and brothers in arms . Although Boil considered himself the tougher of the two , Waxer did not agree with that , and enjoyed mocking the mustache that Boil maintained . During the mission on Ryloth , Boil tried to keep Waxer alive . When he and Waxer were late from their scouting mission , Kenobi noted that these unpunctual actions were not like them . As a clone trooper , Boil was trained in combat , recon , and military tactics . Equipment . On Ryloth , Boil wore clone trooper armor decorated with his unit ' s orange colors . His helmet was also adorned with an upside - down red triangle and a black symbol , and a comlink antenna was built into the helmet ' s crest . On Geonosis , Boil was clad in Advanced Recon Force trooper gear , also with the 212th ' s markings . At the time of the latter battle , a cartoon illustration of Numa was displayed on his helmet , which Boil had added to honor the girl . During both battles , Boil utilized a standard DC - 15S . He was also able to handle a DC - 15A blaster rifle . During the battles on Geonosis and Kiros , Boil also utilized an AT - RT in battle . Behind the scenes . The character of Boil was created for the 2008 and first appeared in the episode " Innocents of Ryloth " , before being featured in " Landing at Point Rain . " Like all clones in the show , Boil was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker . Boil also appeared in the young readers book " " , which features several minor inconsistencies with " Innocents of Ryloth . " In the book , both Waxer and Boil initially hesitate to take Numa with them , but ultimately decide to do so and then take her straight to Kenobi . In 2009 , Hasbro Inc . released an action figure of Boil as part of the " Assault on Ryloth " battle pack . In 2011 , Boil was featured in the non - canon video game " " , appearing in the level that adapted " Innocents of Ryloth . " While most versions of the game present a different portrayal of the television episode ' s events — omitting the encounter with Numa and having Waxer and Boil accompany Kenobi and Cody throughout the entire mission — the Nintendo DS version follows the plot of " Innocents of Ryloth " more closely and includes the troopers ' meeting with Numa . In November of the same year , Boil was featured in the episode " Kidnapped , " which served as an adaptation of the 2008 comic book " " . In the original comic book , Waxer was the one who reported to Kenobi . However , as Waxer had died in the preceding episode " Carnage of Krell , " his role was filled by Boil in " Kidnapped . " In Boil ' s entry in the now - defunct official Encyclopedia on StarWars . com , he was erroneously addressed as Waxer in the opening sentence of the biography . Boil was portrayed with red eyes in " Innocents of Ryloth , " despite the fact that his progenitor , Fett , had brown eyes . In his Encyclopedia entry , Boil ' s eye color was changed to brown as well .
