Waxer

Waxer was the nickname of a clone trooper who served in Ghost Company, a unit of the Grand Army of the Republic's 212th Attack Battalion. During the Clone Wars, Waxer fought alongside Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker against the Separatist Droid Army, participating in the liberation of the planet Ryloth and its Twi'lek inhabitants. During the battle, Waxer and fellow trooper Boil found a young Twi'lek orphan named Numa in one of the city's alleys. Waxer took compassion on the girl and convinced Boil to take her with them as they traveled through the city in order to protect her from harm.

Waxer's kindness toward Numa proved advantageous for the Republic forces, as the girl showed them secret underground passages through the city. The passages allowed Ghost Company to succeed in their mission to destroy Confederate proton cannons that were preventing a Republic landing. After the successful liberation of Ryloth, Waxer participated in the Second Battle of Geonosis, where he and Boil assisted the Republic in shutting down major Separatist battle droid foundries and at one point rescued Kenobi, whose landing gunship had been shot down by Geonosian forces.

Later in the war, alongside the 212th, Waxer participated in a Republic campaign to retake Umbara, where he assisted General Kenobi in capturing the planet's capital city. Waxer led a platoon of 212th troopers to the site of a supposed upcoming attack by the native Umbarans, having been warned by General Pong Krell of the 501st Legion that that the enemy would be wearing captured clone trooper armor. Waxer's men indeed engaged enemy forces in clone armor, only to discover them to have been fellow 501st troopers; the two squads had been pitted against each other by Krell, who was planning to join the Separatists and sought to thwart the Republic's progress in the battle. Although Krell's ruse was exposed before the two clone detachments fully destroyed each other, Waxer himself was killed during the firefight.
