Lazlo Ardine

Lazlo Ardine was a human who was a Colonel in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars.

Biography
During the conflict, Ardine was selected to command Strike Force Cularin, a strikeforce that was made up of units from the Galactic Republic, Cularin Militia and Thaereian military. He lead them on a mission to the Ando system, where they captured a Separatist CR90 corvette and attacked a Separatist base on a planetoid in the system. During the attack, he overheard his second-in-command, Colonel Ras'tul, confess to an attempt to kill the Heroes of the Cularin, so Ardine had some Clone troopers arrest him.

He was later aboard the Relentless during the Battle of the Cularin comet cloud.

Personality and traits
Ardine was a career soldier and was committed to fighting and doing what he thought to be right. Although he respected the fighting abilities of the Jedi, he felt that they shouldn't have been given command of the Grand Army. Prior to the mission to the Ando system, he disliked the Cularin Militia's war against the Thaereians, as he believed that the Thaereian military was justified in being in the Cularin system. However, the mission changed his perspective on this and afterwards, he was more sympathetic to the Militia.
