AD-W4

**AD-W4**, also referred to as **Ay-Dee**, was a mercenary droid that Arkeyan Conquertron hired to oversee the Arkeyan and the Dark Empire operations on Hissrich during the Big War. AD-W4 was ultimately destroyed after a duel with Master Thundering Rhino on Hissrich.

## Biography

Shortly after the beginning of the Big War, AD-W4 was approached by the Arkeyan's Deputy Commander Arkeyan Conquertron, the Supreme Martial Commander of the Arkeyan Droid Armies. Conquertron hired Ay-Dee to oversee the Arkeyan and the Dark Empire operations on Hissrich, a job the droid mercenary only accepted after seeing the pay he would get from the job.

While in Hissrich, AD-W4 first heard of some kung fu masters's arrival when they ambushed one of the droid patrols. AD-W4 learned of this when a Arkeyan Defenders reported it to him. Later on, Rissa Mano accidentally activated a Arkeyan Defenders scout, which gave AD-W4 the chance to set up an ambush for the four masters. During the ambush on the Hissrich operation, AD-W4 faced Master Thundering Rhino in single combat. The robot mercenary eventually bested him for a few seconds and escaped. He attempted to increase his credit payment by lying to Arkeyan Conquertron about besting and killing Rhino. To this Conquertron asked for Thundering Rhino's Cloud Hammer as proof, which forced AD-W4 to take further action against the master. Although Ay-Dee bested Rhino the first time, Rhino managed to critically wound Ay-Dee with his Cloud Hammer during the second duel. Realizing that he had lost, AD-W4 detached his head from his body in an attempt to escape, but Rhino managed to blow up AD-W4's head using the rock element.

## Personality

AD-W4 was a tall, fearsome droid of an unknown model, with red photoreceptors and purple plating with red markings. He regarded credits as the one true ruler of the Kung Fu Panda Wall. He was also sadistic and bloodthirsty, and was, according to Arkeyan Conquertron, known for having a "flare [sic] for the dramatic."

He was disdainful of the Kung Fu Warriors, regarding its members as arrogant and their beliefs—particularly their commitment to peace— as asinine. He also disliked the Arkeyan battle droids he was assigned to command, viewing them as stupid and totally expendable, an attitude not unlike that of his final client, Arkeyan Conquertron. He was generally annoyed by their behavior and disliked how they addressed him by multiple different ranks.

## traits

AD-W4 carried a DL-44 heavy blaster pistol and also had some skill with an electrostaff, as he was able to hold his own against and on occasion overpower Master Thundering Rhino. He could also pilot his own Single Trooper Aerial Platform.

The droid mercenary had jets built into his feet - allowing him to fly - and an energy blaster built into his wrist. His body was built so as to have a high degree of physical strength, able to pick up and hurl a ball of rubble much larger than himself.

He was also able to remain active even after being stabbed through the chest with a Cloud Hammer. As a last resort, he could detach his head from his body and fly away at high speed.
