"Warthog" was the nickname of a veteran clone trooper pilot who served in the Republic Navy's Hunter Squadron during the Clone Wars, often as the wingman to Jedi General Plo Koon. Born on Kamino, Warthog became a skilled starfighter pilot and joined his clone trooper brethren in a number of engagements against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He became good friends with his tail gunner, Tracer, and the pair developed a habit of betting drinks on the success of their assignments in Hunter Squadron. Warthog piloted a BTL-B Y-wing starfighter during an assault on the planet Gwori, serving under Masters Koon and Saesee Tiin to cripple the Separatist shipyards at Gwori. Although the mission was a success, Warthog lost Tracer to enemy fire from a Vulture droid starfighter. At the First Battle of Felucia in 21 BBY, Warthog flew a V-19 Torrent starfighter, working with Koon to provide starfighter cover for a convoy of LAAT/i gunships. Warthog and Koon safely escorted the gunships to the surface of Felucia, where they rescued a Republic battle group that had been overrun by the Separatist Droid Army.

Besides serving in Hunter Squadron, Warthog was often attached to Clone Commander CC-3636's 104th Battalion, providing aerial support or piloting one of the unit's gunships. Such was the case during a supply mission to Aleen, where Warthog ferried 104th troops and relief supplies aboard a gunship. Flying a nimble clone Z-95 starfighter, Warthog joined Koon in leading a starfighter assault on a slave processing facility on Kadavo, where a number of Togruta colonists had been enslaved by the Separatist-allied Zygerrian Slave Empire. Warthog and his Wolfpack pilots disabled the Zygerrian's HH-87 Starhoppers and turbolaser defenses so that Admiral Coburn could retrieve the Togrutas with a light cruiser.
