CT-1038 Candlewax

This clone's story, like all others, starts on Kamino.  Originally not much of a speaker.  Mostly just "Yes sir," and "No sir."  However, what he was lacking in communication, he made up for in observation.  He would hang in the back, seeing others go before him, while also looking ahead, gauging what's going on.  Him observing before acting has helped him through all of the tranings, and has caused him to be a little slower to act, however no less effective.

Once on a base, Candlewax had found a liking to a small bit of craft.  Once he had credits of his own and had a little bit of down time, he would buy candles, take them out of their containers, and with a few knives he had on hand, would carve into the wax into several different shapes and designs, based upon what he has seen over the course of everything he has done.  Originally just heads of droids from Simulations and from the Field, going onto the different heads and facial features of the clones, be they scars or mutations.  To Job Helmets and even Jedi Lightsabers.  In the beginning just crude and pathetic, however, as time has gone on, and he has gotten better utensils, they've gotten better and better.  Some of them even have different colours, and anything he's able to customize, like shelves or tables, is usually filled with these Candle Wax Sculptures.  This earned him his name.

Originally part of a different section of the 212th elsewhere in the galaxy, there is a mission that haunts him.  A mission where he and a squad were sent in to breach, fight their way in and out, and blow a CIS facility to pieces.  Going in was rough, losing half of the squad before reaching the point to set charges, and once they could, they went to leave.  A couple clones stayed behind, and the last of the squad fought their way out.  Candlewax was able to leave and escape far enough to survive the explosion, getting launched and thrown far off, hitting the side of a building and getting knocked out.

When he awakens, he is the last of the squad alive and resting in the Medbay of the Venator above the planet.  About this time, he meets another Clone, and this is the start of a strong friendship.  The Two soon eventually find their ways to Anaxes base, His friend before himself, and begin anew.

Candlewax starts off on a rough start in his new home, however, very quickly proves himself.  He has shown to have a knack for precision weapons and climbing, a good fit for an Advanced Recon Force (ARF) Trooper.  As time had went on, Candlewax proved to be more than just a regular Trooper, having trained several good ARFs, several good clones, under his service, he had eventually been admitted into the ARC Program, and passed. Candlewax, with a bit more pride and a bit more experience under his belt, had went on to become a Colonel for the 212th and do much grander things.. However, something happened.

Candlewax started complaining about these massive Headaches, eventually getting up in the night, headed to the Medbay. A Medical Droid went to look over him, and found something strange, and suggested that something be done about this Strange Thing. As Candlewax Agrees, not much is known about what happened during, after, or what that anomaly was. The only thing that is known is that Candlewax was different. A bit more paranoid, scared. His Pride and his Confidence used as shields to hide himself from others, aside from perhaps some of the Jedi. When pressed about things, he simply shakes his head, saying "Beware when I am gone. I cannot protect you."

And the last any hear of Candlewax is Order-66. In Utapau, When ordered to Fire upon Obi-Wan Kenobi, Candlewax is silent, and doesn't raise his gun. Candlewax leaves to a LAAT, waiting for a Chance to Escape.. And once there is one, Candlewax goes AWOL, deserting the Empire and Deserting his Fellow Clones.

Candlewax only ever had one fear, The Fear of being the Last, and the fear of being alone. Unbeknownst to Candlewax were there other clones that had done a similar thing to himself, but Candlewax Struck out on his own, cutting ties with anyone he had ever known. Candlewax was scared, fearful, upset.. He lived out his days at a remote location on a planet he chose specifically to hide in, simply being a Humble Protector and leaving all he owned to the small farm town, passing away in the night, his face found in the morning with a look of Horror and fear. Upon asking the townsfolk that knew him, they explain he had severe PTSD, and that the horrors and the pain and the suffering he went through finally got to him.. He didn't pass peacefully, but they believe he is in a better place.
