Background: A human male politician from the planet Scipio. Once a member of the Galactic Senate, Clovis worked closely with Senator Padmé Amidala early in her career. The two were romantically linked, until she insisted they return their relationship to a strictly professional level. With regret, Clovis respected her wishes. He continued to serve his people in the Senate, and became an influential representative of the InterGalactic Banking Clan. When the Clone Wars erupted, Clovis secretly betrayed the Galactic Republic to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
As a child that was adopted by the InterGalactic Banking Clan, Rush Clovis was mostly raised by the Muuns. However, this did not stop him from becoming a successful politician. Before the Clone Wars, Clovis was a very skilled young politician, entering the Galactic Senate at the same time as the former Queen of Naboo, Padmé Amidala. They became close, with Clovis gaining feelings for her. He kissed her after their Mid Rim Cooperation Movement succeeded, which horrified Amidala. Clovis was saddened that their closeness fell apart after that.
After the onset of the Clone Wars, Clovis continued his work in the Republic senate but also engaged in clandestine activity with the Separatists for profit. He was not above using poison and also at one point threatened to kill his former associate Lott Dod. Later into the war, Clovis tried to win back the trust of the Republic and Amidala, helping them to expose the Banking Clan from hiding their account funds, but later succumbed to pressure from Count Dooku, helping maneuver him into power after convincing the Republic senate to allow him to become the leader of the banks. Clovis unknowingly helped Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, gain control after the banks after Scipio became a battlefield and the Republic forcefully took control of the banks. He later felt remorse for his actions and during the battle, chose to give up his life to save Amidala’s.
Despite Clovis’ various deceptions, he cared deeply for Amidala. He was persistent in his attempts to court her, which greatly angered her secret husband Anakin Skywalker. When the two fought in Amidala’s apartment after Skywalker caught Clovis attempting to kiss Amidala, Clovis showed some skill in hand-to-hand combat, although he was no match for a Jedi Knight. Like many politicians, Clovis was a skilled liar.
