Chopper (clone trooper)

Chopper was a clone trooper that served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. A soldier in Clone Sergeant "Slick's" squad, Chopper and his fellow troopers were part of the Jedi-led army sent by the Galactic Republic to defend the planet Christophsis from the Confederacy of Independent Systems. By then, Chopper had secretly begun collecting the fingers of B1-series battle droids as war trophies, which he fashioned into a necklace. To the surprise and disgust of his comrades, Chopper's breach of protocol was discovered by Clone Commander Cody and Clone Captain Rex during their hunt for a clone spy in the ranks, although Chopper was adamant that he was not a traitor.

Slick, who was in fact the spy they were searching for, tried to pin his treachery on Chopper. When Chopper pushed back, the sergeant inadvertently revealed his knowledge of restricted information and attempted to escape from the Republic base. Ultimately, the clone turncoat was captured and placed under arrest by his own squad, but not before he succeeded in sabotaging much of the Republic's military supplies.
