His ARC Trooper armor bore similar blue markings and was organized in a striped pattern.įives learned how to operate a variety of weapons during his servitude to the Galactic Republic. After the Third Battle of Kamino, Fives was promoted to the rank of ARC Trooper by Captain Rex and Commander Cody and was given experimental Phase II clone trooper armor. To honor their fallen brother, the two customized their armor with a rotary gun and the words "For Hevy" below them, as well as a Rishi Eel on his helmet.

Because of this, he and the rest of Domino Squad were referred to as "shinies." After he and Echo were recruited into the 501st legion, his clone trooper gear included blue markings. After he graduated from cadet training, he wore the normal clone trooper armor, a sleek white. As a cadet, he wore training armor accented with green, which was Domino Squad's color. Fives had a thin goatee (while on Umbara, he is seen with a thicker goatee). His hairstyle was the standard crew cut, and he had the number five tattooed in Aurebesh to the top right of his forehead. This report, along with Fives's investigation, ultimately saved former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano from Order 66 by informing her of the inhibitor chips. Nonetheless, his death prompted Rex to file a grievance with the Kaminoans. Fives tried to convince Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex of his findings, but he was shot and killed by Clone Commander Fox and the Coruscant Guard before he could do so. He tried to expose the truth of the chips, but was framed for murder by Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious who orchestrated the war and the control chips. This led Fives to conduct a rogue investigation into the purpose of the chips, finding that they were programmed to force the clones to obey any order, including one to kill Jedi, without question. Fives accompanied Tup back to Kamino to find that his friend has suffered a malfunction with the inhibitor chip planted in his brain. He led a team of troopers in the Battle of Ringo Vinda where one of his men, Tup, suddenly lost his mind and executed Jedi General Tiplar. Under this status, he participated in many stealth incursions, such as missions on Lola Sayu and Umbara. However, after their victory at both the Rishi outpost, he and his squadmate Echo were inducted into the 501st Legion.įollowing the Battle of Kamino, they were both made ARC Troopers as well. We follow orders, but we are not a bunch of unthinking droids! We are men ! We must be trusted to make the right decision, especially when the orders we are given are wrong!'

During his cadet training, in which he received his nickname due to his designation, he and his squad members were considered inferior and barely made it past initiation.
