Biography
Axe was an an able clone pilot who normally commanded the Jedi Cruiser Resolutes Blue Squadron. He flew as Blue Two at the Battle of Ryloth following the orders of squadron leader Ahsoka Tano.

During the Separatist blockade of the planet, Ahsoka pushed her forces through but a number of vulture droids destroyed many of Blue Squadron's ships. Axe knew that Tano had made a mistake in continuing to press her attack on the blockade. But when pilots don't obey squadron leaders, the result is chaos.

Ahsoka was ordered to retreat and did with a few fighters left in the squad Axe one of them. As the fighters made their way towards the cruiser, Axe was shot down and killed by a vulture droid. Axe followed orders but his loyalty ultimately cost him his life.
