Legend

this centuries-old Tac-Spec Footman droid once served the Malreaux family of Vjun, working for the Viscounts and their families over many generations. Fidelis was easily recognized by its cream-and-crimson plating, which were the livery colors of the Malreaux family. However, when the seventeenth Viscount was infected with the madness epidemic and went insane, Fidelis was given a new mission by the Viscount's wife, Whirry. He was to secretly follow Whie Malreaux to Coruscant, and ensure the child's safety while he was in training at the Jedi Temple. It was during this time that Fidelis met Solis, another droid of similar manufacture that had been working on Coruscant. For many years, they played endless games of courtier dejarik, with Fidelis always keeping a watchful eye on the Jedi Temple. The games were often won by Fidelis, because it had been continually upgraded for many generations. When Whie was added to Master Yoda's mission to Vjun, both Fidelis and Solis managed to book passage aboard the Reasonable Doubt, so that Fidelis could continue to watch over his young charge. Solis agreed to distract Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - otherwise known as Scout - so that Fidelis could talk to Whie in private. After the band was attacked on Phindar by Asajj Ventress, Fidelis was dismayed to learned that it had been his old friend, Solis, who provided information to Ventress on their location. His obvious distress made Scout believe that Fidelis had not been involved in the attack. As the remainder of the group headed for Vjun, Fidelis brought them up to date on the events which had occurred on Vjun over the last ten years. Once on Vjun, however, Fidelis was forced to accept new orders from Whirry Malreaux, who was still the head of the Malreaux household. Whirry ordered Fidelis to arrange for Whie to meet with Asajj Ventress, as a way to hold the Padawan hostage while Dooku met with Yoda. Ventress used the situation to her advantage, and gave Fidelis a choice: shoot itself with a neural-net eraser or watch Whie die. Fidelis, ever loyal to the Malreaux family, chose to shoot itself, wiping out its computer systems in a form of suicide.
