Geonosian spy

"Two Jedi in the control room? That is impossible. How could they have gotten past security?"

- TX-21, after receiving a report from the Geonosian spy

The Geonosian spy, a male being, was a member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. He was sleeping in the catacombs below the Geonosis primary droid foundry, which was surrounded by the Galactic Republic forces during the Second Battle of Geonosis. Jedi Padawans Barris Offee and Ahsoka Tano, who were trying to destroy the foundry by detonating its main generator, sneaked through the catacombs and accidentally awakened the Geonosian, who, unsure about the presence of the Jedi, started to follow their track. After spotting the pair and hearing about their plan, he quickly ran to inform Geonosian Archduke Poggle the Lesser about it. The Archduke then confronted the Jedi with his minions, but they were unsuccessful to prevent the destruction of the generator, and the foundry was destroyed.

Biography
This Geonosian male was a member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, and served under the command of Warlord Poggle the Lesser, the Archduke of Geonosis. During the Second Battle of Geonosis, the Geonosian was located in Geonosis primary droid foundry, a fortress which manufactured battle droids to the Separatist Droid Army, when it was surrounded by Galactic Republic forces. Jedi Padawans Ahsoka Tano and Barriss Offee were tasked with destroying the main generator of the foundry, which would cause the whole factory to collapse.

The Jedi secretly penetrated the catacombs beneath the foundry, and sneaked throught the network toward the control room of the generator. They soon found themselves in a small hall where Geonosian soldiers were sleeping, one of them this Geonosian. When the Padawans tried to sneak past the hall, the Geonosian, in sleep, accidentally turned his hand right on the head of Offee. With the help of Tano, Offee managed to loose herself and the Jedi continued their journey, but only seconds after, the Geonosian awoke. Unsure about the situation, he armed himself with a Geonosian sonic blaster and started to follow the road the Jedi had used. He soon caught up with and spotted the Jedi, and, staying unseen, spied the Padawans and heard them speaking about their mission to blow the generator. The angered Geonosian rushed to report to Poggle the Lesser, who was conferring with his T-series tactical droid TX-21. After the Geonosian revealed the presence of the Jedi duo to the Warlord and the droid, suprised TX-21 questioned the possibility of the Jedi to get past the security of the foundry. Poggle the Lesser nonetheless ordered the Jedi to be stopped, and left to confront Offee and Tano with TX-21, couple of Geonosian warriors and Super tank. However, they were unable to prevent the Padawans to detonate the generator, and the factory was ruined by the following explosion.

Personality and traits
After being accidentally awakened by the Jedi, the Geonosian, though uncertain about the trespassers, chose to investigate the catacombs and armed himself with a sonic blaster. When he found the intruders, correctly identifying them as Jedi, and heard about their plan to destroy the foundry, he was seemingly angered, and rushed to report to his superiors rather than trying to eliminate the Jedi by himself. Before giving his report to Poggle the Lesser, the Geonosian hastily bowed his head. Like most of his species, he spoke the Geonosian language, and was capable of flying.
