In 21 BBY, his leadership was put to the ultimate test at the Battle of Phatrong, when he was forced to unite the 536th Legion against the Separatist leader Emchic Dong, an extremely violent human who hated clones.
The Battle of Concordia saw him meet the Death Watch Trooper Mand Dia, whom he came to respect despite their striking differences.
Throughout his career, Havoc proved to be an effective leader who truly cared for the men under his command, even as he began to doubt his own future-and those of his clone brethren-in the Republic. He took part in countless campaigns in the galactic theater of war, from the liberation of Kiffu to helping in the uprising of Iridonia to other hard-won victories like the Battle of Serenno, the Second Battle of Naboo, and the Battle of Mandalore. He was soon deployed on tour aboard Cade's flagship, the Invinsible, and joined Cade and Tyler in leading 536th offensives at Kalle, Sriluur, and other flashpoints across the galaxy. While on a stealth mission with Appa, Havoc rallied a small team of rookie soldiers to destroy the Separatist base on Nar Shadda, which they thereafter destroyed to thwart the Confederate General Grievous's planned invasion of Haruun Kal. He also managed to rebound from the following Battle of Dathomir, an engagement he would never forget due to the near-complete eradication of his 536th unit, Death Squad. At the Battle of Tatooine, Havoc became friends to Cade's Padawan,Tyler, with whom he forged a strong bond. The six of them often received joint assignments to coordinate front-line campaigns against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He was close friends with Captain Appa, with their relationship mirroring that of their respective Jedi Generals, Cade and Olivve and Tyler and Jackkel. 1212 was even selected for special command training under Advanced Recon Commando Alpha-17, following which he took the nickname "Havoc." As the commander of the 536th, Havoc served as second-in-command to Jedi Generals Cade and Olivve. He gained respect as an honorable commander from Jedi officers and clone troopers alike, becoming known as one of the best and toughest clone troopers in the Grand Army. Bred and trained on Kamino, 1212 entered into Republic service at the Battle of Geonosis in 22 BBY. It's because he treats us with respect, and he puts himself on the line with us."ĬC-1212, nicknamed Havoc, was a veteran clone commander who led the Grand Army of the Republic's acclaimed 536th Legion during the Clone Wars. It's not just Cade's rank that makes us give him one hundred percent. And three, an officer rank doesn't give you automatic respect. We look out for our buddies-I cover your back, you cover mine.
