He still had a few of Alpha's traits, down to having similar armour as well as a close relationship with Anakin Skywalker, however it eventually became clear Rex was a distinct character in his own right.

* BadassBeard: In ''Rebels''.
* BadassGrandpa: Thanks to his accelerated aging, he looks twice as old in ''Rebels'', but this clearly hasn't slowed him down. He now leads a group of clones that have defected from the Empire.
* BaldOfAwesome: He seems to dye his hair blond, making his shorter hairdo look "bald." He's no less awesome, however. In ''Rebels'', he actually is bald.
* BoomHeadshot: Used it in "Rookies" against a disguised Commando droid.
* TheCaptain: Of the 501st.
* CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: The rough to Cody and Bly's smooth.
* ClonesArePeopleToo: Says this in his speech towards [[GeneralRipper Krell]].
* ConflictingLoyalty: During the Umbara arc, he found himself stuck between his duty to lead and protect his troops, and his loyalty towards his (temporary) superior officer.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "The Deserter" and the Umbara-arc mostly focused on him.
* GenreSavvy: He was smart enough to play along when Ventress attempted to use a mind trick on him, and smart enough to [[OutOfCharacterAlert subtly alert Anakin]] in the process.
* TheGoodCaptain: He more-or-less serves as the ideal Clone Trooper, and as such is more than fit to lead others.
* GunsAkimbo: Seems like Rex has a bit more of Jango in him than most clones.
* HeroicWillpower: He was able to resist a JediMindtrick by Ventress.
* IllPretendIDidntHearThat: In "The Deserter" he is badly injured, and is left by his men on a farm to recover. At evening he found out that the husband of Suu, the woman who took him in, is a deserter clone called Cut Lawquane. After he got to know Cut and his family, and fought side-by-side with him, Suu asked him, whether he was going to turn Cut in for deserting the army. Rex answered that he had no choice in the matter, but then reminded them that "in his condition", he wouldn't be able remember the meeting.
* TheLancer: To Anakin, a role he shares with Ahsoka.
* MadeOfIron: In "The Deserter", he took a blaster bolt to the chest, and not only survived, he was up and fighting that very night.
* ManInAKilt: Wears a kama like most clone commanders.
* NumberTwo: To Anakin.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: Deliberately used it in ''The Clone Wars'' movie, when Ventress tried to use a JediMindTrick to make him contact Anakin. He not only resisted the mind trick, but fooled Ventress by seemingly complying. This way he was able to warn Anakin by calling him on his first name - which is something Rex wouldn't do for any other reason, since Anakin is his superior officer.
* SatelliteCharacter: Despite being the clone who appears the most frequently, for a long time he was only characterized as "the badass clone captain following Anakin and Ahsoka about". Even when he got a deeper characterization in "The Deserter" and the Umbara-arc, this was brought out by having him react to the personality of/decisions made by others:
** In "The Deserter" he met Cut Lawquane (a clone deserter), and despite disagreeing with him, Rex came to accept his view on matters.
** It's even more apparent in the Umbara arc, when Anakin's replaced by Krell. While Rex disagreed with Krell's orders, he still went through with them, and didn't do anything to stop the execution of Fives and Jesse, until the troopers defied his (Krell's) orders to do it.
* ScarsAreForever: Rex has a small scar below his lip, [[ShoutOut resembling one of]] HarrisonFord's.
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: After refusing to execute Fives and Jesse, Krell called Rex a "clone", to which he responded with "It's Captain, sir."
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: He is presented with this choice in the Umbara arc. He ultimately chooses to be good, turning on Krell.
** Previously, he chose to "forget" he ever found Cut Lawquane, rather than turn him in as a deserter.

->'''Appears in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''
-->''"[[DefiedTrope I'm not]] [[AMillionIsAStatistic just another number!]] [[ExpendableClone None of us are!]]"''
Once a member of the dysfunctional cadet squad, Domino Squad, he and Echo became part of the 501st Legion after showing their ingenuity during the battle of the Rishi moon and became ARC troopers after the battle of Kamino. He would later learn one of the most horrible secrets of the clone army and pay with his life for it.
----
* AppropriatedAppellation: Nick-named "Fives" due to the large number of fives in his numerical designation.
* AscendedExtra: He was meant to be a one-shot clone created for the Season 1 episode "Rookies", but the episode and himself (along with Echo and Hevy) were so popular among fans that the creators decided to expand upon his character, and it got to the point where he rose to become a {{deuteragonist}}.
* BackForTheDead: He was killed at the climax of the Order 66 arc of season 6, his last appearance being the Umbara arc in season 4.
* {{Badass}}: Probably the biggest among the recurring clone characters. It says a lot that he was made an ARC trooper, since ARC units are supposedly a [[SuperSoldier specially cloned and trained elite unit]].
* BadassBeard: He has grown a goatee over the course of the series. The longer it's grown, the more badass he's become.
* EliteArmy: Becomes an ARC Trooper.
* ExpendableClone[=/=]AMillionIsAStatistic: Fives is ''very'' GenreSavvy about these tropes, and [[DefiedTrope defies]] them numerous times through-out the series.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Finding out about all of the clones being secretly controlled via brain-chips and the conspiracy against the Jedi surely shook his mental stability. He was still sane when he learned of it, but getting drugged by Nala Se only made things even worse for him.
* IDieFree: He seemed to be glad to die without his chip and knowing the truth, despite being unable to properly share it.
* ImportantHaircut: He gets his head shaved completely bald when he gets his inhibitor chip surgically removed from his brain, indicating that he's free of the chip's influence. Justified in-universe in that AZ-3 had to shave him to perform the surgery properly.
* IronicName: Deconstructed. He insisted on at least two occasions, that he's a person with a name, and not just a number. His name happens to be derived from his CT-number. When AZ points this out, he replies that it might appear to be just a small difference for an outsider, but that difference means a lot to him, and to every clone.
* ManInAKilt: As an ARC Trooper.
* NewMeat: In his debut episode "Rookies", which provides the current page quote.
* [[{{Deuteragonist}} Quintagonist]]: Despite Rex being the most frequently recurring clone, Fives has a much more complex and rounded character arc built around him.
* PoorCommunicationKills: This was deliberately invoked on Nala Se's part, as she drugged him before they got to Coruscant to make him seem insane.
* SanitySlippage: Nala Se drugged him with some sort of compound that made him aggressive and paranoid while he was being transported back to Coruscant. By the time he found someone willing to hear him out that wasn't in on it, he was too incoherent to properly relay the knowledge.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: When he had enough of Krell's senseless orders costing the lives of many clones, he lead a fighter attack against a Separatist supply ship using hijacked Umbaran fighters despite Krell directly forbidding it. He also goes against orders to save Tup when Nala Se wants to kill him to discover what went wrong.
* ShootTheShaggyDog: Enforced by canon. He learned the truth behind Order 66, but since the Jedi never found out in the films, [[DoomedByCanon he's destined for failure]]. Having been drugged to render him incoherent, he cannot properly make his case to Anakin and Rex before he's found and shot, and Palpatine goes on to blame his death and that of Tup on madness from a rare parasite, allowing [[KarmaHoudini Nala Se to continue her work]]. This is later subverted in ''Rebels'', where it is revealed that what he told Rex kept him and a few others from falling under the control of Order 66.
* SoleSurvivor: He's the only member of Domino Squad to survive, until the last season. After this, it's revealed that Echo lived, making him a subversion.
* TattooAsCharacterType: He has a number "5" tattooed on his right temple. When he's being hunted during the Order 66 arc, it's this tattoo that's used to identify him among the otherwise identical clones.
* TragicHero: He spent much of his life pushing for his fellow clones and others to regard them not as numbers but as free men who made their own choices, only to discover that they could be brainwashed at any moment thanks to a control chip in their brains. His attempts to warn people about this end only in failure and his death, with most of his friends thinking that Fives had gone insane.
* TookALevelInBadass: In his debut episode, Fives was just a rookie trooper. By Season 4, he's an ARC-trooper and a bonafide BadassNormal.
* YouHaveToBelieveMe: [[DoomedByCanon As expected]], he can't convince anybody about what he knows about Palpatine's conspiracy. It helps that he's been drugged to incoherence and paranoia.

->'''Appears in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''
Another veteran 501st trooper with a sense of humor. By the time of the Battle of Anaxes he has become an ARC Trooper.
----
* BaldOfAwesome: Shaves his head so that his entire facial tattoo can be seen and is a impressive enough soldier to be made into a ARC trooper.
* DeadpanSnarker: Shows up plenty of times throughout the Umbara arc.
* FacialMarkings: He's got a Republic cog symbol tattooed on half his face. He also has said symbol on his helmet.
* ManInAKilt: Naturally, he earned a kama when he was promoted to ARC trooper.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: What he did to get promoted to ARC trooper remains to be seen.
* RankUp: The Bad Batch arc reveals that he was promoted to ARC trooper some time after Fives' death.
* SarcasticClapping: He does this after General Krell orders the 501st to lock down all the Umbaran starfighters just after Hardcase properly learned how to control them... by blowing up half the hanger, including its door.
-->'''Jesse:''' I thought the plan was to blow up the supply ship, not our own hangar.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: He joins Fives and Hardcase for the attack on the Separatist supply ship for the same reasons as the former (whereas Hardcase is just a [[BloodKnight thrill-seeker]]), although he admits that he's only willing to fly an unfamiliar starfighter and fly into a space battle because he doesn't like General Krell.
--> '''Jesse:''' You know, I'm only doing this because I don't like Krell.\\
'''Fives:''' That's reason enough.

A soldier in the 501st, Denal was considered one of the best clones in the unit.
----
* CharacterDeath: He is killed attempting to apprehend Cad Bane, who takes his armor and impersonates him.
* CoolHelmet: He is distinguishable due to his unique helmet markings, which include blue strips coming down from his helmet visor and one going along the ridge of his helmet.
* JetPack: Uses one when infiltrating a Separatist listening post alongside Anakin, Ashoka, Rex, and several other troopers.
* MauveShirt: He appeared in a couple of episodes and was one of the first clone troopers to have custom armor.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dogma_sw_1689.png]]
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''
A fanatically loyal rookie trooper assigned to the 501st Legion starting with the Battle of Umbara. And this fanaticism for the chain of command becomes his undoing when General Pong Krell temporarily takes control of the 501st.
----
* AppropriatedAppellation[=/=]MeaningfulName: He's dead-set on following orders without question.
* {{Deconstruction}}: He may be one for the idea that clones are mindlessly obedient slave soldiers that follow every order no matter what (which ''The Clone Wars'' has gone to great lengths to disprove). When placed in the command of an uncaring and wasteful Jedi general, he fanatically supports his strategies while the 501st veterans see Krell as a reckless ControlFreak. Once Krell's true nature starts exposing itself (starting with tricking the 501st and 212th Battalion into killing each other), Dogma's sense of loyalty starts to break down and is finally shattered once Krell reveals why he did it. After he executes Krell, he is then taken into custody for unwittingly supporting him.
* TheDogBitesBack: As Krell's actions became nastier and nastier, Dogma remained to loyal him, even after he tricked the troops of the 501st and the 212th into killing each other. However, after Krell explained his plans to Rex and the others, Dogma grabbed Fives' pistol and killed the traitorous Jedi.
* TheDragon: He was unwittingly one for Krell in the Umbara arc.
* FacialMarkings: He has a v-shaped tattoo on his face, similar to the decal on his helmet.
* HeelRealization: He's genuinely crushed when he realizes that his faith in Krell was horribly misplaced.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He trusts Pong Krell completely, and doesn't question his increasingly suicidal orders at all.
* LawfulStupid: He maintains his stubborn belief in Krell's leadership, even when it's clear that Krell is a traitor. It takes Krell himself confessing to treason to break Dogma of his blind loyalty.
* MeaningfulName: A man who adheres strictly to military protocol is called "Dogma".
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: His personality is similar to Echo's, but with his attitude towards hierarchy and orders turned UpToEleven and later deconstructed.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Tup.
* YesMan: Deconstructed. He was ready to follow Krell's every order, without question, including the execution of Fives and Jesse. Even when Krell proved to be a traitor, he defended the General. But once he learns why Krell did what he did, his sense of loyalty is shaken.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hardcase_sw_2080.png]]
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''
A veteran, but somewhat mentally unhinged 501st trooper with a love for battle.
----
* AmbiguousDisorder: According to him, he thinks the leak he had in his growth acceleration chamber made him a bit unstable.
* AscendedExtra: He first appeared in the Season 2 episode, "The Deserter" but with a minor role and little characterization. It wasn't until Season 4's Umbara arc that he had a major role and got his BloodKnight tendencies.
%%* BaldOfAwesome
* BloodKnight: He's rather trigger-happy, and others constantly lampshade that he tends to "dive in head first" into the action.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In his debut appearance in "The Deserter", he had little characterization and seemed to be levelheaded. It wasn't until Season 4's Umbara arc that he became the somewhat unhinged BloodKnight we now know him as.
* FacialMarkings: Has several tattoos on his face.
* FallingIntoTheCockpit: In accordance with Rex's and Fives' plans he piloted an Umbaran starfighter during the battle of Umbara. He has no pilot-training, and the starfighters are controlled by motion capture, which is above the galactic standard, but despite some initial difficulties, he figured out the controls rather quickly.
* FamousLastWords: "Live to fight another day, boys! ... Live to fight another day..."
* GatlingGood: Used a Z-6 rotary blaster cannon during the battle of Umbara.
* HeroicSacrifice: When a ray shield prevented him, Fives, and Jesse from blowing up the main reactor of a Separatist supply ships main reactor by firing on it, he smashed the damaged plasma-canon of his hijacked Umbaran fighter into it blowing it up, and saving the 501st from being exposed to the rockets launched from it.
* LeeroyJenkins: As described in BloodKnight, he's known to "dive in headfirst". The only reason this doesn't cause problems for his squad is that he has his fellow squadmates to restrain him ahead of time and he seems to know when discretion is required. [[AllThereInTheManual According to an older version of the online databank]] (which also described relationships between specific entries), Kix has treated him more times than any other clone that's come to the infirmary.
* MauveShirt: He appeared in the Season 2 episode "The Deserter", but didn't have much of an actual role. He returned in the Umbara-arc of Season 4, and became an important character for the first three-episodes, before giving his life for the others.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: He was in the middle of an explosion that blew up the Separatist supply ship.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He wasn't always, but he became one for Hevy during the Umbara arc, right down to [[GatlingGood the Z-6 rotary cannon]] as his WeaponOfChoice (although he's also seen using a DC-15a carbine sometimes), his BloodKnight tendencies (albeit a bit more mentally unhinged while still being sane), and [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificing himself]] in an explosion to complete his mission.

-->''"Sir, as the team medic, when it comes to the health of the men, including you, I outrank everyone."''
One of the main medical officers of the 501st Legion.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: His "ordering" Rex to take some rest to recover from his injury is endearingly awkward.
%%* BaldOfAwesome
* BerserkButton: During the Battle of Umbara, he does not take the sight of banshees feeding on his fallen brothers' corpses well after a casualty-heavy battle with some Umbaran Crawler Tanks, to the point that he shoots at the banshees.
* CombatMedic: His main role in the 501st.
* FacialMarkings: Has several tattoos on his head, including the phrase "A good droid is a dead one" in Aurebesh.
* AFatherToHisMen: As the main medical officer of the 501st Legion, the health and well-being of the men come first to the point that he can even override his CO's authority if necessary (unless it's [[{{Jerkass}} General]] [[TheNeidermeyer Krell]] he's serving under, in which case, he's forced to put up with his reckless strategies like all the other clones).
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: He becomes extremely frustrated when Rex orders him to focus on the battle instead of trying to retrieve wounded comrades (vulnerable either to the Umbaran Juggernauts or banshees willing to feed on even half-dead troopers).
-->'''Kix:''' We gotta get these guys out of here.
-->'''Rex:''' Forget it. We have to leave them.

Another rookie trooper interested in what the veterans have to say assigned to the 501st starting with the Battle of Umbara.
----
* BoomHeadshot:
** In "Carnage of Krell", he shot Krell in the head with a stun-blast at point-blank range.
** In the Order 66 arc, he shot Jedi Master Tiplar in the head.
* BringIt: During the battle against General Krell, he stood next to a {{Combat tentacle|s}}d ManEatingPlant, and lured Krell towards it by shouting "Hey, ugly! Come and get me!" at him. Krell charged at Tup, and promptly stepped on one of the creature's tentacles, which immediately caught him.
* CharacterDeath: Shortly after Fives and the droid removed his chip, he died.
* FacialMarkings: A teardrop tattoo.
* IDieFree: The faulty chip contains Order 66, the order to execute Jedi, and when it's removed, he said he's happy he's freed from "the mission that never ends...the mission in our nightmares..." before passing away.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After killing the Jedi, during his mentally clear phases.
* PhlebotinumBreakdown: Thanks to a faulty inhibitor chip, he executes Order 66 a bit too soon.

-->''"In my book, experience outranks everything."''
Second-in-command to Jedi General Skywalker and captain of the 501st Legion.
----
* {{Badass}}: He's probably the most effective clone in the entire army, and that's saying a ''lot''.
* BadassBeard: In ''Rebels''.
* BadassGrandpa: Thanks to his accelerated aging, he looks twice as old in ''Rebels'', but this clearly hasn't slowed him down. He now leads a group of clones that have defected from the Empire.
* BaldOfAwesome: He seems to dye his hair blond, making his shorter hairdo look "bald." He's no less awesome, however. In ''Rebels'', he actually is bald.
* BoomHeadshot: Used it in "Rookies" against a disguised Commando droid.
* TheCaptain: Of the 501st.
* CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: The rough to Cody and Bly's smooth.
* ClonesArePeopleToo: Says this in his speech towards [[GeneralRipper Krell]].
* ConflictingLoyalty: During the Umbara arc, he found himself stuck between his duty to lead and protect his troops, and his loyalty towards his (temporary) superior officer.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "The Deserter" and the Umbara-arc mostly focused on him.
* GenreSavvy: He was smart enough to play along when Ventress attempted to use a mind trick on him, and smart enough to [[OutOfCharacterAlert subtly alert Anakin]] in the process.
* TheGoodCaptain: He more-or-less serves as the ideal Clone Trooper, and as such is more than fit to lead others.
* GunsAkimbo: Seems like Rex has a bit more of Jango in him than most clones.
* HeroicWillpower: He was able to resist a JediMindtrick by Ventress.
* IllPretendIDidntHearThat: In "The Deserter" he is badly injured, and is left by his men on a farm to recover. At evening he found out that the husband of Suu, the woman who took him in, is a deserter clone called Cut Lawquane. After he got to know Cut and his family, and fought side-by-side with him, Suu asked him, whether he was going to turn Cut in for deserting the army. Rex answered that he had no choice in the matter, but then reminded them that "in his condition", he wouldn't be able remember the meeting.
* TheLancer: To Anakin, a role he shares with Ahsoka.
* MadeOfIron: In "The Deserter", he took a blaster bolt to the chest, and not only survived, he was up and fighting that very night.
* ManInAKilt: Wears a kama like most clone commanders.
* NumberTwo: To Anakin.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: Deliberately used it in ''The Clone Wars'' movie, when Ventress tried to use a JediMindTrick to make him contact Anakin. He not only resisted the mind trick, but fooled Ventress by seemingly complying. This way he was able to warn Anakin by calling him on his first name - which is something Rex wouldn't do for any other reason, since Anakin is his superior officer.
* SatelliteCharacter: Despite being the clone who appears the most frequently, for a long time he was only characterized as "the badass clone captain following Anakin and Ahsoka about". Even when he got a deeper characterization in "The Deserter" and the Umbara-arc, this was brought out by having him react to the personality of/decisions made by others:
** In "The Deserter" he met Cut Lawquane (a clone deserter), and despite disagreeing with him, Rex came to accept his view on matters.
** It's even more apparent in the Umbara arc, when Anakin's replaced by Krell. While Rex disagreed with Krell's orders, he still went through with them, and didn't do anything to stop the execution of Fives and Jesse, until the troopers defied his (Krell's) orders to do it.
* ScarsAreForever: Rex has a small scar below his lip, [[ShoutOut resembling one of]] HarrisonFord's.
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: After refusing to execute Fives and Jesse, Krell called Rex a "clone", to which he responded with "It's Captain, sir."
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: He is presented with this choice in the Umbara arc. He ultimately chooses to be good, turning on Krell.
** Previously, he chose to "forget" he ever found Cut Lawquane, rather than turn him in as a deserter.
** [[spoiler:And fifteen years later, he and a few other old clone troopers join the Rebellion.]]

* SoleSurvivor: He's the only member of Domino Squad to survive, until the last season. After this, it's revealed that Echo lived, making him a subversion.
* TattooAsCharacterType: He has a number "5" tattooed on his right temple. When he's being hunted during the Order 66 arc, it's this tattoo that's used to identify him among the otherwise identical clones.
* TragicHero: He spent much of his life pushing for his fellow clones and others to regard them not as numbers but as free men who made their own choices, only to discover that they could be brainwashed at any moment thanks to a control chip in their brains. His attempts to warn people about this end only in failure and his death, with most of his friends thinking that Fives had gone insane.
* TookALevelInBadass: In his debut episode, Fives was just a rookie trooper. By Season 4, he's an ARC-trooper and a bonafide BadassNormal.
* YouHaveToBelieveMe: [[DoomedByCanon As expected]], he can't convince anybody about what he knows about Palpatine's conspiracy. It helps that he's been drugged to incoherence and paranoia.

!!ARC Trooper Jesse (CT[=/=]ARC-5597)
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jesse_sw_6506.png]]
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''
Another veteran 501st trooper with a sense of humor. By the time of the Battle of Anaxes he has become an ARC Trooper.
----
* BaldOfAwesome: Shaves his head so that his entire facial tattoo can be seen and is a impressive enough soldier to be made into a ARC trooper.
* DeadpanSnarker: Shows up plenty of times throughout the Umbara arc.
* FacialMarkings: He's got a Republic cog symbol tattooed on half his face. He also has said symbol on his helmet.
* ManInAKilt: Naturally, he earned a kama when he was promoted to ARC trooper.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: What he did to get promoted to ARC trooper remains to be seen.
* RankUp: The Bad Batch arc reveals that he was promoted to ARC trooper some time after Fives' death.
* SarcasticClapping: He does this after General Krell orders the 501st to lock down all the Umbaran starfighters just after Hardcase properly learned how to control them... by blowing up half the hanger, including its door.
-->'''Jesse:''' I thought the plan was to blow up the supply ship, not our own hangar.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: He joins Fives and Hardcase for the attack on the Separatist supply ship for the same reasons as the former (whereas Hardcase is just a [[BloodKnight thrill-seeker]]), although he admits that he's only willing to fly an unfamiliar starfighter and fly into a space battle because he doesn't like General Krell.
--> '''Jesse:''' You know, I'm only doing this because I don't like Krell.\\
'''Fives:''' That's reason enough.

->'''Appears in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''
A soldier in the 501st, Denal was considered one of the best clones in the unit.
----
* CharacterDeath: He is killed attempting to apprehend Cad Bane, who takes his armor and impersonates him.
* CoolHelmet: He is distinguishable due to his unique helmet markings, which include blue strips coming down from his helmet visor and one going along the ridge of his helmet.
* JetPack: Uses one when infiltrating a Separatist listening post alongside Anakin, Ashoka, Rex, and several other troopers.
* MauveShirt: He appeared in a couple of episodes and was one of the first clone troopers to have custom armor.

!!Dogma
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dogma_sw_1689.png]]
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''
A fanatically loyal rookie trooper assigned to the 501st Legion starting with the Battle of Umbara. And this fanaticism for the chain of command becomes his undoing when General Pong Krell temporarily takes control of the 501st.
----
* AppropriatedAppellation[=/=]MeaningfulName: He's dead-set on following orders without question.
* {{Deconstruction}}: He may be one for the idea that clones are mindlessly obedient slave soldiers that follow every order no matter what (which ''The Clone Wars'' has gone to great lengths to disprove). When placed in the command of an uncaring and wasteful Jedi general, he fanatically supports his strategies while the 501st veterans see Krell as a reckless ControlFreak. Once Krell's true nature starts exposing itself (starting with tricking the 501st and 212th Battalion into killing each other), Dogma's sense of loyalty starts to break down and is finally shattered once Krell reveals why he did it. After he executes Krell, he is then taken into custody for unwittingly supporting him.
* TheDogBitesBack: As Krell's actions became nastier and nastier, Dogma remained to loyal him, even after he tricked the troops of the 501st and the 212th into killing each other. However, after Krell explained his plans to Rex and the others, Dogma grabbed Fives' pistol and killed the traitorous Jedi.
* TheDragon: He was unwittingly one for Krell in the Umbara arc.
* FacialMarkings: He has a v-shaped tattoo on his face, similar to the decal on his helmet.
* HeelRealization: He's genuinely crushed when he realizes that his faith in Krell was horribly misplaced.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He trusts Pong Krell completely, and doesn't question his increasingly suicidal orders at all.
* LawfulStupid: He maintains his stubborn belief in Krell's leadership, even when it's clear that Krell is a traitor. It takes Krell himself confessing to treason to break Dogma of his blind loyalty.
* MeaningfulName: A man who adheres strictly to military protocol is called "Dogma".
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: His personality is similar to Echo's, but with his attitude towards hierarchy and orders turned UpToEleven and later deconstructed.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Tup.
* YesMan: Deconstructed. He was ready to follow Krell's every order, without question, including the execution of Fives and Jesse. Even when Krell proved to be a traitor, he defended the General. But once he learns why Krell did what he did, his sense of loyalty is shaken.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hardcase_sw_2080.png]]
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''
A veteran, but somewhat mentally unhinged 501st trooper with a love for battle.
----
* AmbiguousDisorder: According to him, he thinks the leak he had in his growth acceleration chamber made him a bit unstable.
* AscendedExtra: He first appeared in the Season 2 episode, "The Deserter" but with a minor role and little characterization. It wasn't until Season 4's Umbara arc that he had a major role and got his BloodKnight tendencies.
%%* BaldOfAwesome
* BloodKnight: He's rather trigger-happy, and others constantly lampshade that he tends to "dive in head first" into the action.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In his debut appearance in "The Deserter", he had little characterization and seemed to be levelheaded. It wasn't until Season 4's Umbara arc that he became the somewhat unhinged BloodKnight we now know him as.
* FacialMarkings: Has several tattoos on his face.
* FallingIntoTheCockpit: In accordance with Rex's and Fives' plans he piloted an Umbaran starfighter during the battle of Umbara. He has no pilot-training, and the starfighters are controlled by motion capture, which is above the galactic standard, but despite some initial difficulties, he figured out the controls rather quickly.
* FamousLastWords: "Live to fight another day, boys! ... Live to fight another day..."
* GatlingGood: Used a Z-6 rotary blaster cannon during the battle of Umbara.
* HeroicSacrifice: When a ray shield prevented him, Fives, and Jesse from blowing up the main reactor of a Separatist supply ships main reactor by firing on it, he smashed the damaged plasma-canon of his hijacked Umbaran fighter into it blowing it up, and saving the 501st from being exposed to the rockets launched from it.
* LeeroyJenkins: As described in BloodKnight, he's known to "dive in headfirst". The only reason this doesn't cause problems for his squad is that he has his fellow squadmates to restrain him ahead of time and he seems to know when discretion is required. [[AllThereInTheManual According to an older version of the online databank]] (which also described relationships between specific entries), Kix has treated him more times than any other clone that's come to the infirmary.
* MauveShirt: He appeared in the Season 2 episode "The Deserter", but didn't have much of an actual role. He returned in the Umbara-arc of Season 4, and became an important character for the first three-episodes, before giving his life for the others.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: He was in the middle of an explosion that blew up the Separatist supply ship.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He wasn't always, but he became one for Hevy during the Umbara arc, right down to [[GatlingGood the Z-6 rotary cannon]] as his WeaponOfChoice (although he's also seen using a DC-15a carbine sometimes), his BloodKnight tendencies (albeit a bit more mentally unhinged while still being sane), and [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificing himself]] in an explosion to complete his mission.

->'''Appears in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''
-->''"Sir, as the team medic, when it comes to the health of the men, including you, I outrank everyone."''
One of the main medical officers of the 501st Legion.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: His "ordering" Rex to take some rest to recover from his injury is endearingly awkward.
%%* BaldOfAwesome
* BerserkButton: During the Battle of Umbara, he does not take the sight of banshees feeding on his fallen brothers' corpses well after a casualty-heavy battle with some Umbaran Crawler Tanks, to the point that he shoots at the banshees.
* CombatMedic: His main role in the 501st.
* FacialMarkings: Has several tattoos on his head, including the phrase "A good droid is a dead one" in Aurebesh.
* AFatherToHisMen: As the main medical officer of the 501st Legion, the health and well-being of the men come first to the point that he can even override his CO's authority if necessary (unless it's [[{{Jerkass}} General]] [[TheNeidermeyer Krell]] he's serving under, in which case, he's forced to put up with his reckless strategies like all the other clones).
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: He becomes extremely frustrated when Rex orders him to focus on the battle instead of trying to retrieve wounded comrades (vulnerable either to the Umbaran Juggernauts or banshees willing to feed on even half-dead troopers).
-->'''Kix:''' We gotta get these guys out of here.
-->'''Rex:''' Forget it. We have to leave them.
-->'''Kix:''' We can't just leave them, sir!
-->'''Rex:''' We don't have a choice. That's an order.
-->'''Kix:''' [[WhatTheHellHero You sound like General Krell]].
-->'''Rex:''' Look, Kix, it's more important to save yourself now. If we survive, you can patch up the wounded later.
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Like Tup, he was part of the firing squad during Jesse and Fives' execution, and like him and the rest of the squad, chose not to kill them.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tup_sw_6761.png]]
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''
Another rookie trooper interested in what the veterans have to say assigned to the 501st starting with the Battle of Umbara.
----
* BoomHeadshot:
** In "Carnage of Krell", he shot Krell in the head with a stun-blast at point-blank range.
** In the Order 66 arc, he shot Jedi Master Tiplar in the head.
* BringIt: During the battle against General Krell, he stood next to a {{Combat tentacle|s}}d ManEatingPlant, and lured Krell towards it by shouting "Hey, ugly! Come and get me!" at him. Krell charged at Tup, and promptly stepped on one of the creature's tentacles, which immediately caught him.
* CharacterDeath: Shortly after Fives and the droid removed his chip, he died.
* FacialMarkings: A teardrop tattoo.
* IDieFree: The faulty chip contains Order 66, the order to execute Jedi, and when it's removed, he said he's happy he's freed from "the mission that never ends...the mission in our nightmares..." before passing away.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After killing the Jedi, during his mentally clear phases.
* PhlebotinumBreakdown: Thanks to a faulty inhibitor chip, he executes Order 66 a bit too soon.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Dogma.
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: When ordered to execute Fives and Jesse, Tup, along with the rest of the firing squad, chooses not to kill them, opting to be good over lawful.
