Wack was a Clone Sergeant who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars and was present for the Battle of Kashyyyk. After receiving Order 66, Wack led a search team near a lake where they encountered Jedi Master Yoda disguised as a creature. After being influenced by Yoda via the Force, Wack ordered their men to continue their search to the east. Once alone, Chewbacca climbed aboard Wack's AT-RT, threw the sergeant into the lake, and left aboard the stolen walker.
