Waxer / Legends " Waxer " was the nickname of a clone trooper who served in Ghost Company , a unit of the Grand Army of the Republic ' s 212th Attack Battalion . During the Clone Wars , Waxer fought alongside Jedi Generals Obi - Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker against the Separatist Droid Army , participating in the liberation of the planet Ryloth and its Twi ' lek inhabitants . On Ryloth , Ghost Company — led by General Kenobi — was assigned to destroy the Confederate proton cannons in the city of Nabat , in order to allow the Galactic Republic " Acclamator " - class assault ships to land . After the company reached the city , Waxer and fellow trooper Boil were dispatched to scout ahead and soon found a young Twi ' lek orphan named Numa in one of the city ' s alleys . Taking compassion on the girl , Waxer — despite Boil ' s protests — decided to take her with them , and the Twi ' lek led the two clones to her destroyed home . There , the three were attacked by several gutkurr beasts , but they managed to escape thanks to Numa ' s knowledge of secret underground passages beneath Nabat . After regrouping with the rest of the Republic troops , Waxer and Boil participated in an assault on the city ' s courtyard , where Nabat ' s captive inhabitants were being used as living shields for the proton cannons . While Ghost Company distracted the Confederate battle droids , Waxer , Boil , and Kenobi went behind enemy lines through a secret passage shown to them by Numa , liberated the Twi ' leks , and destroyed the proton cannons . After the successful liberation of Ryloth , Waxer participated in a Republic offensive aimed at destroying several Separatist battle droid foundries on the recently rebelled planet of Geonosis . During the battle , Waxer and Boil rescued Kenobi , whose landing gunship had been shot down by Geonosian forces . Later in the war , Waxer , alongside the 212th , participated in a Republic campaign to retake Umbara , where he assisted General Kenobi in capturing the planet ' s capital city . In the midst of the fight , Waxer ' s detachment was contacted by General Pong Krell , who commanded the 501st Legion of the Grand Army , which provided support for the 212th . Krell provided Waxer with coordinates of the native Umbarans ' upcoming attack , warning the troopers that the enemy would be wearing captured clone trooper armor . Waxer led a platoon of the 212th ' s troopers to the provided coordinates , where they engaged enemy forces in clone armor . However , the enemy was , in fact , the 501st , led by Clone Captain CT - 7567 . They had received the same orders from Krell , who had fallen to the dark side and was seeking to thwart the Republic ' s progress in the battle . Although Krell ' s ruse was exposed before the two clone detachments fully destroyed each other , it was too late for Waxer , who had been wounded in the firefight and died shortly thereafter . Biography . Early life . A clone of the bounty hunter Jango Fett , the clone trooper nicknamed " Waxer " was born on the planet Kamino to fight in the Grand Army of the Republic . During the Clone Wars , the conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems , Waxer served under Clone Commander CC - 2224 — nicknamed " Cody " — in Ghost Company , a unit of the Grand Army of the Republic ' s 212th Attack Battalion . Meeting Numa . In 22 BBY , after Techno Union Foreman Wat Tambor took control of the planet Ryloth and subjugated its Twi ' lek inhabitants , the Republic mounted an offensive to liberate the Twi ' leks . Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano were able to destroy the Separatist blockade surrounding the planet , allowing the Republic forces to land and initiate a ground assault . Alongside Kenobi , Cody , and the rest of Ghost Company , Waxer boarded an LAAT / i gunship — the " Crumb Bomber " — which set off for the city of Nabat . Aboard the gunship , Kenobi and Cody instructed Ghost Company to utilize their blasters and EMP grenades only , in order to avoid destroying the Twi ' leks ' home during their attempt to free them . Meanwhile , Separatist J - 1 semi - autonomous proton cannon s below began to harass the Republic " Acclamator " - class assault ships , forcing them to pull back . Aboard one of the transports , Jedi Master Mace Windu used a holoprojector to contact Kenobi and tasked him and Ghost Company with destroying the cannons to allow the rest of the Republic troops to land . After reaching the planet ' s surface , the Republic forces were confronted by a group of B1 battle droids in a bunker on the outskirts of Nabat . Kenobi led Waxer and Boil closer to the bunker in order to use EMP grenades and disable the droids . After Waxer ' s first attempt to lob a grenade into the bunker failed due to the long distance , Kenobi used the Force to guide Waxer ' s and Boil ' s grenades and helped them reach their target . With the bunker neutralized , Ghost Company entered the city . Kenobi then told Cody to pick his best men and scout ahead . Following Kenobi ' s orders , Cody selected Waxer and two other troopers — Wooley and Boil . While scouting , the clones took notice that the city was deserted ; the Twi ' leks had been driven from their homes by the Confederate forces . Cody suggested that the group should split up and ordered Waxer and Boil to go south — telling them to return by an appointed time — while he and Wooley checked the courtyard . Soon , Waxer and Boil stumbled upon the young female Twi ' lek orphan Numa in an alley . Waxer wanted to take her with them , but Boil insisted that she would only slow them down . As the two started to argue , Waxer spotted a Separatist recon droid flying nearby . By hiding in the alley , the clones managed to remain undetected by the droid , but its appearance prompted Boil to hurry Waxer . The latter continued to insist on taking Numa with them and soon convinced Boil to do so . As Boil reached to Numa , however , she bit his finger , leading Waxer to believe that she must have mistaken the two for droids . To ease the girl ' s fears , Waxer removed his helmet and tried to explain to Numa that he and Boil were living beings , just like her . Noticing that Numa looked starved , Boil and Waxer gave her a ration bar . After tasting the bar , the girl called the clones " nerra , " a Twi ' leki word unknown to Waxer and Boil . The clones then returned to their scouting mission , and Numa followed them . Soon , however , Numa ran away in the direction of the recon droid , and Waxer , unwilling to let her be killed by the droids , decided to follow her , much to Boil ' s dismay . The girl led the two clones to her destroyed home , where Waxer noticed a tooka doll lying on the floor . After he gave the doll to Numa , she began to cry , and the two clones comforted her . The two troopers received an incoming transmission from Cody and realized that they were late . Boil wanted to answer the transmission , but Waxer stopped him and asked how they would explain their delay to the commander . Waxer then told Boil that it would be better if they hurried back to the Republic position and claimed that they had ran into trouble , lying that their communications had been jammed as further cover . Before the clones could get very far , however , several gutkurrs — predatory beasts released by the Separatists to fight the Republic forces — attacked them , and they were forced to retreat with Numa back into the home . Liberating the Twi ' leks . To escape the creatures , Numa led the clones into an underground passage , and they resurfaced 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 could lead them through secret passages to the Twi ' lek prisoners , who were trapped at the courtyard near the proton cannons . While Cody and the rest of his company created a diversion to distract the droids , Waxer and Boil went with Kenobi to free the hostages . The three were successful in their mission and liberated the Twi ' leks , who then took cover in the secret passage . There , Numa was reunited with her uncle , Nilim Bril . Kenobi then took control of one of the proton cannons , and with the help of Waxer and Boil — who loaded the cannon with shells — managed to destroy the other cannons . However , a shot from Separatist T - series tactical droid commander TX - 20 ' s Armored Assault Tank destroyed the commandeered cannon and blasted the three aside . Numa , worried for her new friends , ran from her cover to the clones , and after they had recovered , she ran over to Kenobi . TX - 20 ' s tank targeted Numa and Kenobi , but the now - freed Twi ' leks attacked the tactical droid and destroyed him . Mace Windu and the transports were then able to land . As the Republic forces prepared to head to the capital city of Lessu to retake it and free the planet , Waxer and Boil said goodbye to Numa and bid her well . Numa then called them " nerra " one last time , and Kenobi translated for them : " nerra " meant " brother . " Eventually , the Republic was able to liberate Ryloth and destroy all of the droid forces . Geonosis . Later in the war , the Geonosian population of the planet Geonosis — the site of the first battle of the war — rebelled against the Republic and began producing droids for the Confederacy in newly established droid foundries . Upon discovering this , the Republic launched an assault on the planet in the hopes of capturing the Geonosian leader , Archduke Poggle the Lesser , and destroying the newly ray shielded foundries . The Republic forces were divided into three groups , led by Generals Kenobi , Skywalker and Ki - Adi - Mundi , and set off in LAAT / i gunships to a rendezvous point , where they were to regroup for the assault on the shield generator . Waxer and Boil accompanied the strike team led by Kenobi and Commander Cody , and the assault force soon managed to reach the rendezvous point despite heavy fire from the Geonosians . Upon landing , Cody circled his All Terrain Tactical Enforcer tanks into a defensive formation , and the clone troopers engaged the enemy Geonosians . However , it was soon discovered that during the landing procedure , Kenobi ' s gunship — the " Bad Kitty " — had been shot down and crashed five kilometers away from his forces ' position . Hoping to rescue the general , Cody called Waxer and Boil and ordered them to reach Kenobi ' s gunship and check it for survivors . The two troopers raced through the ongoing firefight to the downed vehicle and opened the gunship . Inside it , they found two survivors : the injured Kenobi and clone trooper Trapper . Under covering fire from the Republic ' s AT - TE walkers , Waxer and Boil escorted the wounded pair back to Cody ' s position . Later , 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 . At some point during the battle , the Republic forces targeted one of the Geonosian weapons factories for destruction . Waxer was then dispatched to scout ahead and gather information about the enemy . He ran into a group of battle droids but was able to take them down before they revealed his position . Umbara . In 21 BBY , when the native population of the planet Umbara seceded from the Republic and pledged their support to the Confederacy , the Galactic Republic launched an offensive to retake the strategically placed planet . As the Republic forces , led by Generals Skywalker , Kenobi , Saesee Tiin , and Pong Krell , closed in on the world , Waxer attended the pre - battle briefing held among the command staff aboard a Jedi transport . Waxer and the 212th Attack Battalion , under the command of Kenobi , was tasked with capturing the planet ' s capital city , while the rest of the troops provided support for that main assault . As the lengthy battle dragged on , the 212th received a message from General Krell , who had assumed command of the 501st Legion of clone troopers after Skywalker was recalled from Umbara . Krell warned the 212th that the Umbarans , wearing captured clone trooper armor , were planning an attack . Waxer then led a platoon of 212th ' s men to the coordinates provided by Krell , where they indeed encountered a group of attackers in clone armor . Heavy fighting erupted between the two groups , during which many troops on both sides were killed and Waxer himself was fatally wounded . However , Waxer ' s men soon discovered that they were killing their own brethren from the 501st when one of the opposing soldiers — CT - 7567 , nicknamed " Rex " — took off his helmet and ran out to the middle of the battlefield in a desperate attempt to stop the fight . The 501st , via a fake transmission from Waxer engineered by Krell — who had fallen to the dark side — had been guided to the same location and warned about the disguised enemy . Pitting the two clone detachments against each other was another step in Krell ' s plan to ensure the Republic ' s defeat on Umbara . After Rex successfully broke the battle , he walked to the dying Waxer ' s side , who informed him about Krell ' s treachery . With a shocking realization that he had just killed several of his clone brothers , Waxer drew his final breath and died . Personality and traits . During his mission on Ryloth , Waxer was eager for combat . Although he had been hardened by the Clone Wars , Waxer was nevertheless a very compassionate soldier , showing considerable concern about Numa ' s well being and an amiable manner toward her . Although he and Boil were the best of friends , Waxer was often rather annoyed at Boil , who initially did not care for Numa or Ryloth ' s locals . Waxer also showed a fair amount of disobedience by deliberately deciding not to answer a call from command and planning on lying to his superior about running into trouble and having his communications jammed . According to Kenobi , it was uncharacteristic for Waxer and Boil to be late . During the Second Battle of Geonosis , Waxer was sarcastic regarding his and Boil ' s assignment to rescue Kenobi , complaining that they always got the " fun " missions . As a clone of Jango Fett , Waxer had the height of 1 . 83 meters . His eyes were brown in color . Waxer had his naturally black hair shaved clean for quicker grooming , and he enjoyed teasing Boil about his " fancy " mustache , thus arguing with Boil , who believed himself to be the tougher of the pair . He was trained in combat , recon , and military tactics . When Waxer discovered that he had killed other clones on Umbara , he was deeply affected by that , shedding a single tear before he died . Equipment . During his mission to Ryloth , Waxer wore standard Phase I clone trooper armor with Ghost Company ' s orange markings painted on it . By that time , Waxer ' s helmet was adorned with twenty - one marks , eight on the right side and thirteen on the left , along with a drawing of a battle droid , reflecting the number of droids he had destroyed . On Geonosis , Waxer sported Advanced Recon Force trooper gear , also decorated with his unit ' s colors . During both missions , he made use of a DC - 15S . His equipment also included a pair of DC - 17 hand blasters , and a Z - 6 rotary blaster cannon featuring a built - in missile launcher . By the time of the battle on Umbara , Waxer had switched to the Phase II clone trooper armor , and he continued to keep count of the destroyed battle droids on his helmet and shoulder pad , which now totaled eighty . Waxer also added a cartoon illustration of Numa to his helmet in honor of the Twi ' lek girl . Behind the scenes . Waxer was created for the 2008 and first appeared in " " , a comic book written by Henry Gilroy and illustrated by Scott Hepburn that serves as a tie - in to the series . Waxer then made an appearance in the twentieth episode of the series ' , titled " Innocents of Ryloth , " and the fifth episode of the , " Landing at Point Rain . " In 2011 , Waxer appeared in two more episodes of the , " Darkness on Umbara " and " Carnage of Krell , " and was killed in the later episode . Like all clones in the show , Waxer was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker . Waxer was noted for being the first character on the series to be depicted crying . Waxer also appeared in the young readers book " " , which features several minor inconsistencies with " Innocents of Ryloth . " In it , 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 released an action figure of Waxer as part of the " Assault on Ryloth " battle pack . , the DVD and Blu - ray release of the television series ' first season , features an extended , " Director ' s Cut , " version of " Innocents of Ryloth . " Compared to the original version , it includes several new scenes . One scene features Waxer as he tries to throw a grenade into the droid bunker and misses the target , explaining why Kenobi has to use the Force to guide the following grenades in the aired cut of the episode . Waxer was later featured as a playable character in the Nintendo DS edition of the 2009 video game " " , where his participation in the Battle of Ryloth was portrayed differently from " Innocents of Ryloth . " In " Republic Heroes " , Waxer teams up with Ahsoka Tano to destroy the proton cannons . The two advance through the streets of one of Ryloth ' s settlements , fighting B1 battle droids and B2 super battle droids along the way and working together to activate switches and open doors . Just near the plaza where the proton cannons are located , Waxer and Tano are temporarily stopped by a shielded turret but manage to deactivate its shield by overloading the nearby power generators . After destroying the turret , Waxer and Tano find out that the entrance to the plaza is sealed . They contact General Kenobi — who , along with Commander Cody , is advancing from the other side of the town — and request his assistance . Kenobi soon arrives , helps Tano to open the gates , and the two Jedi successfully destroy the cannons . In 2011 , Waxer was featured in the non - canon video game " " as one of the playable characters in the level adapting " Innocents of Ryloth . " Most versions of the game present a very different take on the events from the television episode . Waxer is armed with a rocket launcher . Waxer ' s and Boil ' s encounter with Numa is also completely omitted . Instead , they accompany Kenobi and Cody throughout the whole mission , participating in the fight against the gutkurrs . The exception to this is the Nintendo DS version , which more closely follows the plot of " Innocents of Ryloth " and features Numa . The game also features a series of " bounty hunter " missions , which involve Ziro the Hutt sending a team of bounty hunters to capture important Republic figures , intending to receive ransom for them . Waxer is one of the available kidnapping targets and has to be captured on Ryloth . The fourth season of the television series also saw the " Slaves of the Republic " story arc adapted to the screen . However , as Waxer had just died in the previous episode , his role during the battle on Kiros was filled by Boil in the episode " Kidnapped . " The television series is therefore given canonical precedence , and this article assumes that Boil participated in the Battle of Kiros instead of Waxer . The comic book version of the events is presented below . " Slaves of the Republic " comic book appearance . In the comic series , Waxer was among the Republic troops dispatched to liberate the Togrutan colony world of Kiros , which had been occupied by the Separatists . Led by High Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi , Jedi General Anakin Skywalker , and Skywalker ' s Padawan , Ahsoka Tano , the Republic forces quickly secured the northern quadrant of Kiros ' s capital and reached the headquarters of the Separatist commander , Xerius Ugg . As Cody and the rest of Ghost Company approached from the south through minimal resistance , Waxer reported to General Kenobi on the progress of the battle . The battle was ultimately won by the Republic , but it was discovered that all the Togruta had mysteriously disappeared . In fact , they had been transferred by the Confederacy to the planet Zygerria to be sold as slaves at an auction . Ultimately , the Jedi were able to liberate the Togruta and returned them back to Kiros .
