* AscendedExtra: Morgan goes from a VillainOfTheWeek on ''The Mandalorian'' to TheHeavy in ''Ahsoka''. Justified, as Morgan is primarily an opponent for Ahsoka, rather than Din Djarin (who essentially stumbled into their conflict while on his own journey), so Morgan would naturally be more prominent in Ahsoka's own series.
** Taken UpToEleven when she becomes the co-star of her own miniseries in "Tales of The Empire".

* SmugSnake: While she ''is'' competent, she thinks she's cleverer than she actually is and is completely blindsided when Din teams up with Ahsoka and loses her ''entire'' militia to them as if they were cannon fodder. By the time of ''Ahsoka'', she's wisened up and knows from experience that Anakin's former Padawan will follow her and her minions, despite Shin assuring she and Marrok made a clean getaway on Corellia at the end of "[[Recap/AhsokaS1E2Chapter2ToilAndTrouble Toil and Trouble]]".

However, she eventually falls back into more of the same overconfidence that plagued the Empire during its' reign, as Thrawn notes to his irritation.



* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:In the finale of ''Ahsoka'', the Great Mothers empower her with proper Nightsister magicks and gifts her the Blade of Talzin, making her a far more dangerous opponent to Ahsoka then she was back in ''The Mandalorian''.]]

TRS says that Evil is Petty is specifically for minor acts of villainy, and the slaughter of villagers certainly isn't. Sole Survivor is just one, there are five others who made it out (Ventress, Talzin [although she was killed at a later date], Merrin, Jeserra, and Shelish).


* EvilIsPetty: When Din and Ahsoka turn the tide against her, she coldly orders the villagers slaughtered just to spite them.



* FromNobodyToNightmare: She was originally [[spoiler:an ordinary Nightsister who was left with nothing after the Separtist genocide]]. She was able to work her way up the ranks of the Empire, ending up as prominent and brutal despot after the end of the Empire [[spoiler:who is resonsible for Grand Admiral Thrawn's return to the galaxy]].



* HeWhoFightsMonsters: ''Tales of the Empire'' tracks her descent from someone who once wanted to get very understandable revenge on [[spoiler:the Separtists for their genocide of her people, the Nightsisters]], as well as wanting to [[spoiler:bring back Nightsister culture]], which were the reasons why she joined the Empire. However she becomes much crueler and spiteful over the years, and by the time of the fall of the Empire she's become a ruthless tyrant who takes out her trauma on people who had nothing to do with it.



* KickTheDog: When Din and Ahsoka turn the tide against her, she coldly orders the villagers slaughtered just to spite them.



* SoleSurvivor: One of the ''very'' few known survivors of the [[spoiler:Nightsister]] massacre.

* 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.]]

Added DiffLines:

* SurroundedByIdiots: Most of the Shadow Council are greedy, shortsighted fools who just want to pad their pockets or wage war on the New Republic at a time when they're not ready for open warfare. He very much comes across like an exasperated school teacher with a bunch of unruly students.

* DependingOnTheWriter: His appearances in Filoni works tends to leave out the Noble part of his NobleDemon characterization that Zahn gives him. Thrawn in ''Rebels'' and ''Ahsoka'' may be cultured but is undeniably a villain.



* TheDragon: In Season 3, he is acting at behest of Grand Moff Tarkin as his top officer, and the fact that he commands Death Troopers implies he's one of his officers in the Tarkin Initiative. However, it's shown Thrawn isn't always on the same page with Tarkin's orders regarding how to bring an end to the Rebellion; Tarkin wants to capture their leadership and MakeAnExampleOfThem, while Thrawn just wants to exterminate the Rebellion at its core, which contributes to the latter's reluctance to take the rebel leaders alive. By Season 4, it looks like Thrawn is losing face with his boss.

* HijackedByGanon: Ultimately, Emperor Palpatine's involvement in the Force-based story arc of the finale episodes of ''Rebels'' Season 4 meant that Thrawn would be DemotedToDragon, even as he served as TheHeavy of the Battle of Lothal. [[spoiler:After Ezra's last confrontation with the Emperor, Thrawn ends up being the PostFinalBoss to Ezra.]] Thrawn himself ends up hijacking [[spoiler:many of the live action shows as it is revealed that he is the leader of the Imperial Remnant whom even the Shadow Council answers to - although Gideon is annoyed that Thrawn repeatedly never shows himself and resumes moving his plans forward for a change in leadership - i.e. himself.]]
