* AssholeVictim: He kicks Lama Su and the rest of the Kaminoans pretty hard by canceling all of their contracts and conscripting a select few scientists to serve the Empire while discarding those he has no use for. Even the Kaminoans he does keep know they're likely living on borrowed time before they, too, are discarded. Considering the Kaminoans treat their clones like property and are happy to discard any they deem defective, it's hard to feel sorry for them.

* DramaticIrony: Rampart is convinced that Stormtroopers will form an army far superior to the clones that preceded them. As any ''Star Wars'' fan familiar with [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy their level of accuracy]] knows, they prove to be anything but, due to their wildly inconsistent training regiments.

* BeardOfSorrow: [[spoiler:He grows one in prison.]]

* VisionaryVillain: He is the driving force behind Project War-Mantle, with the goal of replacing clones with conscripted recruits whose belief in the Empire is not programed but driven by fanatical patriotism.

->''"Sir, they came out of hyperspace! I've never seen--"''

The captain of the ''Harbinger'', Pellaeon previously served under Grand Admiral Balanhai Savit of the Third Fleet. When Savit was exposed as a traitor, Pellaeon turned against Savit and was reassigned to Grand Admiral Thrawn's Seventh Fleet, serving in the blockade over Lothal in the eve of the Galactic Civil War. After surviving the Liberation of Lothal, and the fall of the Empire, he became one of the leaders of the Shadow Council of the Imperial Remnant.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the ''Legends'' continuity, he was Thrawn's protégé and second-in-command on his flagship, the ''Chimaera''. In the Disney continuity, while Pellaeon still works for Thrawn, he is in command of a different Imperial Star Destroyer, the ''Harbinger'', and his role as Thrawn's protégé has been given to Eli Vanto and Karyn Faro, with the latter also taking Pellaeon's role as the captain of the ''Chimaera''.
* AdaptationalWimp: He's Thrawn's NumberTwo in the original canon, but here he barely seems to be in his inner circle. Furthermore, the existence of the First Order makes it unlikely that he'll end up the true heir to the Empire.
* AffablyEvil: He's pretty patient and respectful with his cohorts in the Shadow Council, even though most of them are swaggering bullies eager for carnage and personal gains. He does harden a bit when he grows weary of Gideon needling for resources, as well as transparently sowing seeds of discord intended to [[spoiler:displace Thrawn from his position of leadership.]]
* AmbiguousSituation: Though Dave Filoni [[https://gizmodo.com/that-fan-favorite-eu-character-name-dropped-on-star-war-1823592926 states]] that he probably survived the end of ''Rebels'', [[spoiler:he's still lost somewhere in space with Ezra, Thrawn, and the rest of the Seventh Fleet. Though Pellaeon later appears in ''The Mandalorian'', what happened to him between the Purrgil attack and this appearance remains unclear until ''Ahsoka'', which doesn't have Pellaeon among Thrawn's forces in exile meaning he escaped the pod]].
* AntiVillain: Unlike most of the higher-ranking Imperials, and later Imperial Remnants, Pellaon isn't a particularly unpleasant man. He's not an abusive coward like Brendol Hux or an egotistical maniac like Moff Gideon, but he is unshakingly loyal to the Empire, and has no problem helping to restore it, or dealing with those deemed a threat to the resurgent Empire's plans.
* CanonImmigrant: Captain Gilad Pellaeon was Thrawn's right-hand man in the ''Legends'' continuity, then gets re-canonized in the finale of ''Star Wars Rebels''.
* CoDragons: On the Shadow Council, he and Brendol Hux appear to be the main leaders who are coordinating the Remnant [[spoiler:in Thrawn's stead.]]
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: He gets re-canonized in the very last episode of ''Rebels'' by a mere namedrop.
* MouthOfSauron: [[spoiler:As part of the Shadow Council, Pellaeon represents Thrawn's interests and repeatedly insists that the Grand Admiral is the Imperial Remnant's greatest hope. Thrawn may already be back, as Pellaeon's wording implies he will not partake in the Shadow Council for the indefinite future simply out of secrecy as opposed to not being back.]]
-->'''Moff Gideon:''' Captain Pellaeon, you always speak with much authority, and yet, I see, once again, [[spoiler:that Grand Admiral Thrawn is missing from your delegation. Any word on when he will be able to ''participate'' in the Shadow Council?]]\\
'''Capt. Pellaeon:''' [[spoiler:With respect, our one hope for success relies upon the secrecy of his return.]]
** This is revealed to be much more complicated than it first seems.[[spoiler: Pellaeon is bluffing; Thrawn is not in the galaxy during his meeting with the Shadow Council, so Gideon is correct to doubt Pellaeon's assurances to the contrary. Whether or not he is in on Morgan's plot remains to be seen, but ultimately Pellaeon does not actually know what Thrawn is planning, so he can only counsel caution until he does actually come back.]]
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: In ''Treason'', it's noted that Pellaeon is loyal to the empire, though not out of blind fanatacism.
* PragmaticVillainy: He takes after his Grand Admiral well, stressing the need to wait for the big game plan to take shape as opposed to plundering out of greed or attacking just to stick it to the New Republic.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [[spoiler:When Gideon warns the Shadow Council that the Mandalorians are preparing to retake their home, he agrees they need to be dealt with and grants his request for reinforcements.]]
* SchrodingersCanon:
** He is an AntiVillain and a TokenGoodTeammate.
** He is a Corellian-born Coruscanti.
** [[OneDegreeOfSeparation He was friends with Captain Rex (and also met Ahsoka and Anakin)]] during the Clone Wars, as seen in ''[[Literature/CloneWarsGambit The Clone Wars: No Prisoners]]''.
* ShoutOut: He is named after Pelleas, a [[Myth/ArthurianLegend Knight of the Round Table]].
* SequelHook: Dave Filoni states that his namedrop in the ''Rebels'' finale was to make way for possible appearances from Pellaeon in future ''Star Wars'' works.
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:Years after the events of ''Rebels'' and the downfall of the Empire, Pellaeon is Thrawn's most ardent supporter, insisting to the skeptical members of the Shadow Council, including Moff Gideon, that Thrawn ''will'' return and is the Imperial Remnant's greatest asset.]]
* WhamLine: As [[spoiler:the Purrgil]] begin their attack against the Seventh Fleet in the climax of the ''Rebels'' finale, Thrawn orders his men to get a certain someone on the line to report what exactly is going on...

** In another rather twisted example, Edmon did get his way with the stormtroopers replacing the clone troopers…but was ultimately the scapegoat to justify the former’s existence.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/idel_sw.png]]

->'''Appearances:''' ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsLando Lando]]''

The commander of a battlegroup of three Star Destroyers, Idel is dispatched by the Emperor to retrieve his personal yacht, the ''Imperialis'', after it is stolen by thieves from a shipyard.

* DrivenToSuicide: After the ''Imperialis'' causes Conro and Shan's Star Destroyers to crash into each other and then escape, Idel pulls out his pistol and shoots himself in the head, [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled knowing the Emperor would likely]] [[FateWorseThanDeath kill him in a far worse manner]] for his [[YouHaveFailedMe failure]].
* FaceDeathWithDignity: When he shoots himself, he conducts himself in a very calm manner while suggesting to one of his officers that he should probably join the Rebellion to avoid the same fate.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Kills himself in his very first appearance.

* GutturalGrowler: His voice is fairly deep and scratchy, possibly because of the injuries he's sustained over the course of his life.
