Taggart was a human male captain of the Senate Guard during the Clone Wars. Captain Taggart was in charge of a detail of Senate Commandos who escorted several Galactic Republic diplomats to Mandalore onboard the GX1 short hauler Phoenix for peace talks between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During the talks, Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano rescued her friend Lux Bonteri from a Confederacy assassination attempt. The pair made their way to the docks where Taggart and his unit were standing guard, pursued by Confederacy BX-series droid commandos. The Guard engaged the droids and held them off while Tano and Bonteri escaped.
