Axe was a clone pilot that appeared in Season 1 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Appearing in the episode "Storm Over Ryloth", he was the leader of a Republic fighter squadron, Blue Squadron. During the Battle of Ryloth, Jedi padawan Ahsoka Tano took command of the squadron with Axe flying under the callsign "Blue Two".

During the battle, Axe flew a V-19 Torrent starfighter and was accompanied by fellow clone pilots Slammer, Kickback, Tucker and Swoop, while the squadron made its way toward Tuuk's command ship. However, numerous Confederate Vulture droids attacked Blue Squadron, causing heavy casualties. As the droids had also simultaneously attacked the Republic force's three Venator-class Star Destroyers—the ResoluteDefender, and Redeemer—Admiral Wullf Yularen and Anakin Skywalker ordered Tano and her men to retreat. However, as Blue Squadron made its way toward the Resolute's hangar, Axe was killed when his fighter was shot down by a Vulture droid.
