**Boil**, formerly designated **CT-2376**, was a clone trooper who served in Ghost Company, a military unit of the 212th Attack Battalion in the Grand Army of the Republic, during the Clone Wars. Boil and his fellow clone trooper Waxer were considered the best scouts of Ghost Company, and were an effective team together, even moreso with their Jedi Commander Jarik Shan. After the end of the Clone Wars and subsequent transition of the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire, Boil would eventually return to the conflict by joining the growing Rebellion alongside a fellow trooper, Rex, the former Captain of the 501st Legion.

## **History**

### **The Clone Wars**

On the planet Ryloth, Boil joined his men, led by Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody, to liberate the Twi'lek slaves from the Separatists. He and Waxer came across a young orphaned Twi'lek girl named Numa, who led them to discover that the rest of the city's citizens were being held prisoner in the city's center. The Republic forces then carried out an attack that resulted in the freeing of the Twi'leks through the destruction of the Separatists' proton cannons.

Later, Boil joined Waxer once again during the Second Battle of Geonosis, where they first became acquainted with Kenobi's new Padawan learner, Jarik Shan. The three became close friends throughout the war, operating as a deadly and efficient team in battle. This team would eventually be broken up, by Waxer's death, however, as a result of a deception by Jedi General Pong Krell during the Battle of Umbara, who had fallen to the dark side of the Force. Boil joined in the effort to capture Krell led by Shan and Clone Captain Rex.

### **Order 66**

Near the end of the war, Boil learned from Rex about the inhibitor chips in every clone trooper, and secretly had his removed with Rex, along with fellow clones Wolffe and Gregor. Later, Boil was promoted to the rank of ARC Trooper by Cody and fought in the Battle of Anaxes, during which he expressed his dislike of Clone Force 99, specifically the sniper of the team known as Crosshair.

In the final days of the Republic, Boil was stationed at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant with a reserve group of the 212th Attack Battalion when Order 66 was issued by Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, who was secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. As his chip was already removed, Boil was one of the few clones who did not obey the order, and he instead assisted Commander Shan and a Jedi youngling named Katooni to escape from the Jedi Temple, where he also learned about the betrayal of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, who had fallen to the dark side and become Darth Vader.

### **Age of the Empire**

During the reign of the Galactic Empire, Boil sought out his brothers Rex, Wolffe, and Gregor, and went with them into retirement on the planet Seelos. During their years in exile, the clones also found Kix, a fellow clone trooper who had been frozen in carbonite years earlier. Over a decade after the fall of the Republic, Boil would return to active duty once more by joining the growing Rebellion alongside Rex, reuniting with his former Jedi Commander as well.

## **Personality and traits**

> "Don't cry, kid. We'll keep you safe. I…I promise."
> ― Boil comforts Numa

Like all clone troopers, Boil had the height of 1.83 meters, a light 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 and 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, with their Jedi Commander, Jarik Shan, soon being added to their friendship. Although Boil considered himself the toughest of the three, Waxer and Shan did not agree with that; Waxer enjoyed mocking the mustache that Boil maintained, while Shan in turn made sure to showcase his lightsaber skills to Boil whilst in the middle of a battle against droids.
