**Cut Lawquane** was a clone trooper who fought for the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. Shortly after the First Battle of Geonosis, Lawquane's transport was attacked by Separatist gunships, leaving his fellow soldiers either dead or severely injured. Lawquane fled, deserting the army, and later married Suu Lawquane. The war later made its way to Saleucami, where Lawquane, Suu, and his two adopted children lived. Lawquane met Clone Captain Rex, who helped defend his family and home from BX-series droid commandos. Rex and Cut overcame their differences, and Rex decided not to report Cut as a deserter; Jedi Commander Jarik Shan agreed, and they left the family in peace. Sometime during the war, the clones of the Bad Batch visited Cut and his family.

After Order 66 and the end of the Clone Wars, Rex and the Bad Batch visited Cut in succession, the latter after they had defected from the newly-formed Empire and fled Kamino. At this time, the Lawquanes left Saleucami with forged chain codes.

As a human clone, Cut Lawquane shared his face with Jango Fett and stood 1.83 meters tall. He was fit, with broad shoulders, fair skin, and brown eyes. He had medium length hair that was dyed red and pulled into a ponytail. While many clones had tattoos, Cut had no visible tattoos. By the time of the Galactic Empire, Cut had grown out his sideburns and had his hair pulled back in a bun.

After deserting, Cut became disillusioned with the Republic Army. He began to exercise his free will, making the choice to not kill for a living. As he fell in love and got married, this ideal developed. He deeply believed that everyone should get a free choice in what they want to do with their life. When he was confronted by Rex, he held fast to this belief, defending his decision to desert the Republic. Despite this, he fully accepted Rex's decision to remain in the army, saying it fit with his approval perfectly. He was determined to always help anyone he could, an ideal he passed on to his children. He went as far to offer Rex the same choice he made, offering Rex a place within the Lawquane family. Despite his individuality, his past memories of battle and war haunted him, even years after their occurrence.

Cut was determined to protect his family, putting them above all else. He shared a close relationship with his wife, Suu, along with his two adoptive children, Shaeeah and Jek. When their farm was attacked by commando droids during the Battle of Saleucami, Cut protected his family fearlessly, willing to give up his own life to preserve those of his family. He comforted his terrified children, and prepared to fight the droids with no hesitation. Although Rex could have assisted him, Cut instead had Rex remain upstairs with his family, as a last line of defense. Before he departed, Rex commended his devotion, saying that while he still is a deserter, he was no coward.

When the Empire rose, Cut knew that he had to move his family off Saluecami instead of allowing himself to be discovered. When they were visited by Clone Force 99, Cut was surprised to see the group of soldiers with a child, Omega. When Omega accidentally placed herself in danger by going outside the fence and was attacked by a nexu, Hunter initially berated her, but Cut warned him not to treat her like a soldier and instead consoled her before hugging her and carrying her inside.
