Summary
Vader did not gather clones to himself, not at the beginning. At first, there was nothing inside of him except rage, no room for anything or anyone else. He was handed the Inquisitors more by necessity than any desire to lead them.
But Appo had marched on the Temple with Anakin Skywalker, and he knew something no one else seemed to. And that was that Vader and General Skywalker were not so different, for all that Vader liked to insist Anakin was dead.
Anakin had just changed, like the clones had, and Appo knew one thing in this wildly different and changed galaxy: he still followed.

Summary
Now, Appo stood beside Vader and wondered if he sensed both his surprise and disquiet at the question. “You are rather concerned with him,” he said, trying to be careful.
“Commander Fox,” Vader breathed. “Is an oddity.”
(The times Vader and Fox talked, that Appo never knew about).

Summary
Appo knew exactly what he was in the past to do. And he would do it, of that he was absolutely certain.
“You're actually insane, aren't you?” Fox asked, Appo smiling vaguely over the skyline of Coruscant, still so colorful compared to the grey and stark architecture of the Empire.
“Yes,” he said. “But don't worry, that's okay too. I still know what to do.”
(Appo convinced the Force itself to send him back to the beginning of the Clone Wars, when Fox and Anakin are both still alive. Now he has to make that count for something.)
