Biography
"I bet you sold out your brothers for some real shiny coin, huh?" "Yes, she offered me money. But she offered me something more important, something you wouldn't understand: freedom!"

- Captain Rex and Slick

Slick led a team of clone troopers to recon the planet Christophsis after it was invaded by the Separatists. He betrayed the Republic, acting as a spy for Ventress. He was eventually discovered after he inadvertently revealed that the Jedi had gone on a secret mission to the Separatist base, which was only supposed to be known by Captain Rex and Commander Cody and the Jedi, the only other one would be the spy. He escaped capture and destroyed most of the heavy weapons when he blew up the hangar and weapons storage, and then proceeded to the Command Center to deactivate the lockdown.

Rex and Cody figured out Slick's plan and tricked him to come out. Once he emerged, he attempted to shoot Cody with his own rifle, but discovered it was empty. Rex returned and Slick was disarmed. He proclaimed he was only doing this for his brothers, calling the two clones traitors before disarming the two officers and attempting to flee. Cody tackled him and engaged him in hand to hand combat before Rex entered the fray and pulled him away. After knocking down Rex, he was attacked yet again by Cody and defeated. He was taken away by two troopers to lockup, but not before Commander Cody and Captain Rex told him that he risked the safety of all his Clone brothers. Slick also berated Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker for what he viewed as enslavement of his brothers.

Personality and traits


Slick's name fit him well. He was able to make quick getaways and was even able to evade Cody and Rex, to a certain point. Slick often used trickery or deception to get himself out of a situation.

Behind the scenes
Slick's philosophies and beliefs about the clones being "slaves" to the Jedi also represented a more radical version of the ideals mentioned by clones in Karen Traviss' Republic Commando novels. His beliefs were similar to that of Captain Argyus of the Senate Commandos. Both men were bribed out by the Separatists, although Slick got off much easier than Argyus, who was stabbed by Asajj Ventress.
