Commander Cody

Cody, designated CC-2224, was a male Clone Marshal Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic who commanded the 7th Sky Corps—including its renowned subunit the 212th Attack Battalion—during the Clone Wars. He served as the second-in-command of High Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi within the Third Systems Army and the 7th Sky Corps. General Kenobi found the commander to be reliable, trustworthy and loyal, with his abilities as a soldier and strategist earning Cody the respect of both his Jedi superiors and fellow clone troopers.

During the final years of the Republic Era, Cody was created as part of an army of genetically-identical soldiers bred from the template of Jango Fett, a human bounty hunter, and conditioned for absolute loyalty to the Galactic Republic. Once deployed from the clone homeworld of Kamino, Cody served in several major battles against the Confederacy of Independent Systems, such as the Battle of Christophsis, the Second Battle of Geonosis, and the Battle of Anaxes. In addition to General Kenobi, Cody formed a friendship with Clone Captain CT-7567 "Rex," a fellow clone trooper officer who served in Jedi General Anakin Skywalker's 501st Legion.

As a clone of Jango Fett, Cody was a human male who stood 1.83 meters tall and had black hair, brown eyes, and tan skin. A natural leader, the 212th Attack Battalion became a renowned regiment under his command. He was also a keen strategist, possessing a practical mind for warfare, which, combined with his combat ability, earned him the respect of his superiors and fellow soldiers. He was known as Cody, a name the commander used as part of a growing trend in the military, where the Jedi encouraged the clones to explore their individuality.

Cody could be cautious and adhering to procedure, but was consistently capable on the battlefield. His effectiveness as a leader was due in part to his range in ability, being able to efficiently lead his soldiers in either straightforward infantry battles or more complicated infiltration missions. As a soldier in the Grand Army of the Republic, Cody never wavered in his allegiance to the government he was bred to serve. His loyalty to the Galactic Republic was absolute; any attempt to make him question his service was met with Cody's impassiveness. He hated it when clones died in otherwise preventable ways, such as not having enough cover, and confided in Rex that, sometimes, he found it hard to be one of the few who survived battle after battle, when so many of his family had fallen in battle.

Like his general, Cody developed a habit of walking with his hands clasped behind his back. Cody often served alongside another clone, Captain Rex, with whom he had a friendship. In addition, Cody's qualities as an officer made him an ideal second in command to Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi. Serving at Kenobi's side throughout the Clone Wars, Cody developed a working relationship and a friendship built on trust and camaraderie with the general.

Commander Cody was a competent and adept field commander. His knowledge and skill on the battlefield even earned him the rank of Marshal Commander. Cody displayed impressive close combat and hand-to-hand combat skills as well, as shown when he was able to get the upper hand against Sergeant Slick, and against the droid forces on Christophsis. The Commander was also proficient with blasters. He was able to accurately hit a fuel tank that was launched from Obi-Wan, and was able to destroy many battle droids throughout the Clone Wars.

As Commander Cody was also an experienced commander, as he was able to formulate plans and execute them effectively. Before the Second Battle of Geonosis, he informed the Jedi Generals of the plan that would eventually lead to victory.

Cody's armor was given an orange colorization, which was a color used by many of the other members of the 212th. When Phase II clone trooper armor was created Cody wore a similar set to his phase I but it had a few changes. The changes were two gray stripes coming down the sides of the top of his helmet, a clip compatible with Obi-Wan Kenobi's Lightsaber on his waist, a small tool attached to the upper arm piece, one antenna on the shoulder pads with one on the back of his helmet, and a smaller, oval-shaped jetpack. This also featured a visor and orange markings.

The 212th Attack Battalion was a well-known Grand Army unit of clone troopers under the leadership of Clone marshal commander Cody and Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi during the Clone Wars, a galaxy-wide conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. As its name suggests, the 212th specialized in invasions, frontal attacks, besiegements and other offensive scenarios.

Clones refers to Jedi as "General".
