Fidelis was a Tac-Spec Footman droid that was owned by the Malreaux family. He was painted in crimson and ivory; his chassis and head was decorated in the checkerboard pattern that was the livery of House Malreaux while his extremities bore an ivory base coat with crimson piping.

History

The droid was part of the staff at Château Malreaux for twelve generations, until 30 BBY, when he was sent by Whirry Malreaux to watch, from a distance, her son Whie, who had been taken in by the Jedi Order. A decade later, when Whie finally left the Jedi Temple on a mission, Fidelis and his masterless counterpart, Solis, tracked down and met up with Whie and his team, which included Yoda, aboard the Reasonable Doubt. He protected Whie during the journey and led them to Chateau Malreaux. However, he led Whie and his friend Scout in through a cellar and they were caught by Asajj Ventress. Asajj threatened to kill Whie if Fidelis did not commit suicide with a Neural-Net eraser. He sadly accepted, as he was very loyal. His last words were, "Only remember, I served the House Malreaux. I didn't think it would end like this."

Behind the scenes

Fidelis means "faithful" in Latin, a fitting name for the droid's personality.
