* WeHardlyKnewYe: To be expected of a RedShirt. The only reason we even know his name is because, upon being unable to grab Charger and thus prevent his fall, Fives exclaims it in shock/disbelief.

[[folder:Veteran Clone]]

->'''Appearances:''' ''Series/ObiWanKenobi''

-->''"Spare any credits? Help a veteran get a warm meal."''

A lone homeless clone veteran, now left to beg on the streets of Daiyu.

* AmbiguousSituation:
** It's unknown how a clone trooper that was a member of the esteemed 501st ended up in such a sorry state.
** It's left unknown why this clone didn't attack Obi Wan as he's a Jedi. His broken speech might indicate the clone might be too drunk to recognize Obi Wan. On the other hand, he looked at Obi Wan with sadness indicating that the inhibitor chip that made him compliant to Order 66 no longer works and he didn't want to attack him.
* BeardOfSorrow: Grows a messy beard after being discarded by the Republic now turned Empire.
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Ten years following the end of the Clone Wars, this proud soldier is struggling to survive in the streets.
* MundaneUtility: Due to being a homeless vet, he now uses his helmet as a bucket to place spare credits in when begging.

[[folder:Hawk]]
!!Hawk
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hawk_sw.png]]

Hawk was a clone pilot serving in the 501[-[[superscript:st]]-]. He participated in several of the most important battles of the Clone Wars as both a gunship and fighter pilot.

* AcePilot: Aside from being able to land gunships under extremely heavy fire, Hawk is also shown to be a skilled fighter pilot during the Battle of Scipio.
* CoolHelmet: His flight helmet has wings painted on the front.
* GunshipRescue: Routinely flies a [=LAAT/i=] to drop off and pick up Jedi and clone troopers under heavy fire while providing fire support, most notably extracting Anakin and his men from the top of a building where they were cornered during the Battle of Christophsis.
* MeaningfulName: He's a pilot named ''Hawk''.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: His fate at the end of the Clone Wars is unknown, and if he was still alive, it's unknown if he stayed with the 501[[superscript:st]] or if he was transferred to the 332[[superscript:nd]] (if the latter, [[spoiler:it would almost certainly mean that he died during the Siege of Mandalore or when their cruiser crashed]]).

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: His personality is similar to Echo's, but with his attitude towards hierarchy and orders turned UpToEleven and later deconstructed. Anakin also notes that he seems very similar to Rex.

!!Dogma

* SpannerInTheWorks: His malfunctioning inhibitor chip is what ultimately saved Ahsoka Tano and Rex in the long run. Had it not gone off prematurely, Fives would have not become suspicious about Tup's behavior that would lead him to uncover the chip conspiracy and the means to get remove it from other clones, the later being most useful when Order 66 is transmitted to Rex.

* LastOfHisKind: Given that he is awoken from cryo-sleep over thirty years after the Battle of Endor, the odds are good that Kix is the last living clone trooper by the time of the Sequel Trilogy and one of the few surviving veterans of the Clone Wars. On top of that, he's perhaps the last living person to know the truth about Order 66.

The 501[-[[superscript:st]]-] Legion was a battalion of clone troopers that were assigned to Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan learner Ahsoka Tano during the Clone Wars. The 501[-[[superscript:st]]-] fought in several key battles throughout the Clone Wars. At the end of the war, elements of the 501[[superscript:st]] were present on both Coruscant and Mandalore. Following the execution of Order 66, Darth Vader led the 501[-[[superscript:st]]-] in the assault on the Jedi Temple, while on Mandalore, Ahsoka was hunted by the clone troopers. The surviving clone troopers of the 501[-[[superscript:st]]-] continued to serve Darth Vader as his personal enforcers, becoming known as "Vader's Fist", until all of the remaining clone troopers were replaced by recruits.

* AffablyEvil: After Order 66 goes out. He's remarkably polite and apologetic when he's talking to Bail Organa, but he interrupts their conversation by coldly gunning down a Padawan.

* RankUp: He is a sergeant during the Battle of Umbara and is promoted to commander by the time Order 66 gets executed.

* WouldHurtAChild: He participates in the massacre of the Jedi Temple and guns down a Padawan in front of Bail Organa.

[[folder:Denal]]
!!Denal
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/denal_sw_5364.png]]

Denal was considered one of the best clone troopers in the 501[-[[superscript:st]]-].

* LaserGuidedKarma: The Republic he proudly served tossed him into the streets to fend for himself. The citizens in the streets would not give the clone any shred of sympathy or aid for his role in creating the tyrannical Empire that oppressed them.

* HumanPopsicle: He is captured by Separatist droids at the end of the war and put on ice while being transported for interrogation by Count Dooku. However, the ship carrying him is ambushed and crashes on a remote planet. He is finally thawed out almost sixty years later.

* HeKnowsTooMuch: Thanks to Fives, he realized the Sith conspiracy behind Order 66 and tried to warn the Jedi Order and his fellow clone troopers about it. [[DoomedByCanon However]], just like Fives, his attempt was thwarted. This time it was by the command of Count Dooku, who had him cryogenically frozen onboard a Separatist ship to be personally interrogated, particularly on where he got his information and if any other clone troopers found out. The ship never made its destination as it ended up crashing into a remote desert world in an attempt to evade Republic forces, remaining there for over 50 years.

** It's kept a mystery why this clone didn't attack Obi Wan as he's a Jedi. His broken speech might indicate the clone might be too drunk to recognize Obi Wan. On the other hand, he looked at Obi Wan with sadness indicating that the inhibitor chip has worn off and didn't want to attack him.

[[folder:Unnamed Clone Beggar]]

* DynamicCharacter: He goes from an inexperienced rookie with a somewhat strained relationship with his batch mates to a hardened, badass veteran deeply loyal to all his brothers.

* BaldOfAwesome: He shaved his head so that his facial tattoo can be seen and is an impressive enough clone trooper to be made into an ARC trooper.

* BaldOfAwesome: He has a shaved head, and he's a badass BloodKnight who sacrifices himself to save his brothers.

* BaldOfAwesome: He's almost bald, but he's still cool. The design his hair is in has a zigzag pattern on it too, which is a nice touch. By "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E1TheBadBatch The Bad Batch]]", however, he has grown his hair out.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: In ''The Clone Wars'' Season 7, Kix drops his BaldOfAwesome in favor of a full head of hair styled in a way that's similar to most of the other clones.

* HateSink: He's such a [[{{Pun}} dogmatic]] suck-up to [[DevilInPlainSight Pong Krell]] that even Rex and Fives scold him. He gets over it eventually.
