Biography
"If we're here to free the tail-heads, the least they can do is get out of our way."

- Boil

After Techno Union Foreman and Separatists member Wat Tambor took control of Ryloth and its inhabitants, the Republic mounted a bold offensive to liberate them. General Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Commander Ahsoka Tano, were able to destroy the Separatist blockade surrounding the planet, and allowed the ground invasion forces to land.

Boil boarded the Crumb Bomber aboard an Acclamator assault ship with General Obi-Wan Kenobi, Clone Commander Cody and the rest of Ghost Company, and they prepared to land on Nabat. Obi-Wan and Cody instructed their men to only utilize blasters and droid poppers, not wanting to destroy the Twi'leks' home while trying to free them, and Boil was rather uncaring towards the Twi'leks. However, protn cannons below began to harass the Acclamator transports above, and General Mace Windu tasked Obi-Wan with destroying the cannons to allow the transports to land. After the group took out droids in a bunker on the outskirts of the village, they entered the city and set up a temporary camp. Obi-Wan dispatched Cody, Wooley, Waxer and Boil to scout ahead. Cody and Wooley went to search the courtyard, while Waxer and Boil went south. The two stumbled across the young Twi'lek orphan Numa, who initially thought them to be droids, and bit Waxer's finger before the two removed their helmets and eased the girl's fears. Numa called the two "Nerra!", and the two were unsure what it meant. Boil initially disagreed with helping her, believing that they should complete their mission instead of wasting their time. The girl led the two clones to her shattered home, and Waxer noticed her tooka doll. After he gave it to her, she began to cry, and the two clones comforted her.



However, after the two received a transmission from Cody, Waxer and Boil realized that they were late and had disobeyed orders. Boil put the blame on Waxer, but before the clones could get very far, gutkurrs attacked them, and they were forced to retreat with Numa back into their home. Numa led the clones into an underground passage, and they reemerged near Obi-Wan, Cody and the rest of Ghost Company, who had just fought off a number of gutkurrs themselves. Cody was initially displeased with the two, but after Obi-Wan saw Numa, he understood. Conversing to Numa in Twi'leki, Obi-Wan discovered that she could lead them to the Twi'lek prisoners. While Cody and the rest of his company created a diversion to distract the droids, Waxer and Boil went with Obi-Wan to free the hostages, and they were successful. Obi-Wan then took control of one of the proton cannons, and with help from Waxer and Boil, he managed to destroy the other cannons. However, a shot from tactical droid commander TX-20's tank destroyed their cannon and blasted the three aside. Numa, worried for her new friends, ran over to the clones, and after they had recovered, she ran over to Obi-Wan. TX-20's tank targeted her and Obi-Wan, but the now-free Twi'leks attacked the droid and destroyed him. Mace Windu and the transports were then able to land. As the Republic forces prepared to head to the capital city of Lessu to retake it and free the planet, Waxer and Boil said goodbye to Numa, and Boil promised that they would be back. Numa then called them "Nerra!" one last time, and Obi-Wan translated for them: "Nerra" meant "brother".

Personality and traits
Boil is a very by the book soldier and when things go against it he is easily annoyed. At first, Boil didn't have much care for the prisoners of Ryloth, looking at their helplessness as a weakness rather than taking pity on them. He was reluctant to help Numa (who proceeded to bite him after the he refered to her as the "little Biter"), believing that he and Waxer should be following orders instead of wasting their time. However, as time progressed, Boil developed compassion, and he grew to care for Numa as well.
