[[folder:Alak]]
!!Alak
!!!'''Species:''' Human (cyborg)

->'''Appearances:''' ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsTheHighRepublicAdventures2022 The High Republic Adventures (2022)]]''

A pirate active during the High Republic era who was part of Maz's gang and wanted in about 20 systems.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: According to Sav, he once [[OneManArmy single-handedly]] took over an entire battle station. By mistake.
* DatingCatwoman: Alak and the pirate hunter Raf Thatchburn fell in love with each other at some point. However, as Coromont points out, while this kind of thing would be [[LampshadeHanging the stuff of holo-dramas]], their career choices ultimately [[ThisIsReality put them at odds with each other]].
* DefectorFromDecadence: He was originally part a cult of child assassins called the Scarlett Skulls, with his parents being one of the cult's five ruling families. He left the cult before his initiation ritual when he realized a young girl (Quiet Shand) was going to go through the same hardships he's been through. Alak took down the cult the day Shand was to be initiated.
* EnemyMine: When he and Maz's crew learn about the Dank Graks' helping to incite the Battle of Jedha, he tips off Raf in spite of him being a pirate hunter, if only because things have gotten ''that bad'' on Jedha.
* FullFrontalAssault: As he never wears a shirt and he's all cybernetics below the waist, he's technically nude save for a pair of bandoliers.
* LiteralDisarming: When facing off against a pirate droid aboard the Dank Graks' ship, the droid demands that Alak "unhand [him]" while grappling only for, only for Alak to rip his arms off.
* SpiderPeople: Everything below his waistline has been replaced with a pair of robotic spider legs, making him look like a cyborg spider centaur.

Alak's usually silent prodigy, who was also recruited to be part of Maz's gang.

* BewareTheQuietOnes: According to Sav, anyone who's heard her speak died shortly after. However, it's implied from her backstory of being rescued from the Scarlett Skulls on the day of her initiation ritual that she [[TongueTrauma had her tongue cut out]] (as is part of the cult's initiation ritual) before Alak rescued her.
* MoralityPet: She is revealed to be this to Alak, as him learning she was about to go through the same hardships in the Scarlett Skulls that he did is what convinced him to turn on them and later rescue her.
* TwoFaced: Her cybernetics aren't as extreme as Alak's, only comprising half her face.

A massive Dowutin big game hunter and mercenary. He is a frequent patron of Maz Kanata's castle, where he plans his next trips by listening to rumors about dangerous animals seen by spacers in Wild Space and the Unknown Regions.

* ADayInTheLimelight: He is the main character of the short story ''Bait''.

* EgomaniacHunter: Takes numerous trophies from his kills, and also likes attracting women by showing off his kills.

A pair of identical, twin Ubdurian brothers, Cratinus and Prashee were frequent costumers of Kanata's castle and enjoyed using their undistinguishable looks to swap identities so they could scam other individuals.

* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Both guys look and dress the same exact way. Somewhat justified because their clothing, the travel smocks, are a part of Ubdurian culture.
* HumanoidAlien: Ubdurians are bald humanoids with yellow skin and no discernible noses.
* TricksterTwins: As mentioned on their description, these guys' completely identical appereances allowed them to swap identities often just to scam other individuals.

!!!Black Sun
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/black_sun_sw.png]]

A powerful criminal organization spread throughout the galaxy, Black Sun was a major player in the galactic fringe during the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War. During the Empire's reign, it was part of the "Five Syndicates", which were the [[NonIndicativeName six]] most powerful criminal groups in the galaxy that maintained an uneasy and frequently broken peace with each other and cooperation with the Empire.

[[folder:In General]]
* AdaptationalWimp: In ''Legends'', Black Sun was an NGOSuperpower that was considered a force to be reckoned with on a galactic scale. In canon, they don't have as powerful an army, taking advantage of the Clone Wars to increase their criminal activity and being overwhelmed in battle with the Separatists even when they are part of the Shadow Collective. They also seek to form alliances with other syndicates to expand their relatively small power base. In ''[[Literature/StarWarsLastShot Last Shot]]'', Black Sun is only able to pose a major threat to the New Republic because the latter's fleet was demilitarized to ten percent of its original size.
* CanonImmigrant: The Black Sun syndicate originated in the 1996 ''Legends'' multimedia project ''Literature/ShadowsOfTheEmpire''. The Falleen -- the race from which Prince Xizor originated -- were also made canon, showing up as leaders and enforcers. Xizor himself was eventually re-canonized when he was name-dropped in ''Crimson Reign''.
* EnemyMine: Black Sun sometimes allies with other criminal groups for a variety of reasons.
** They were forced to work with several other criminal organizations when Darth Maul and Savage Opress executed Black Sun's leadership and formed the Shadow Collective. However, Maul's presence seemed to be the only thing making them cooperate, as while Maul was imprisoned on Stygeon Prime, Black Sun got into a conflict with the Pyke Syndicate -- one of the other crime syndicates that made up the Shadow Collective -- when the latter's current leader refused to merge syndicates. However, once Maul started butting heads with the two militarily superior governments leading a galactic war, Black Sun alongside the other crime syndicates jumped ship and the Shadow Collective fragmented.
** After the death of Jabba the Hutt and the Empire's defeat at Endor, Black Sun allied with the newly formed Red Key Raiders to take advantage of the galactic chaos and expand their criminal enterprises.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: So far, their canon depiction has only shown Falleen as their leadership, but they are still willing to hire non-Falleen mercenaries and bounty hunters.
* NGOSuperpower: Downplayed. The Black Sun is still one of the most powerful crime syndicates in the galaxy and has some influences in galactic governments, but unlike in ''Legends'', the [[AdaptationalWimp canon version of Black Sun]] isn't militarily powerful enough to be even close to equal-footing with the major galactic superpowers of their time, even when teamed up with other equally-influential crime syndicates. They are able to pose a threat to the New Republic a few years after its establishment, but only because the Republic decided to cut down its military presence.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The only incentive they had for working with the Shadow Collective aside from being strong-armed after their previous leaders were executed was money for their mercenary work. Black Sun only deserts once it has become apparent that Maul has made some very powerful enemies from both the Republic and the Separatists and it's not worth getting paid for.

* AllThereInTheManual: He is not named in his sole appearance, with supplementary materials providing that information.
* OffWithHisHead: He is decapitated by Savage Opress along with the rest of Black Sun's leadership.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: When Maul and Savage demand Xomit submit and swear Black Sun's loyalty to them, he thinks they are crazy and orders their death. Even after Savage breaks one of his guards neck's with no effort Xomit does not seem concerned and rises to fight them himself, which ends with his swift death.

Once a lieutenant of the Black Sun crime syndicate, Ziton was quickly promoted to being its leader after Darth Maul (both literally and figuratively) decapitated Black Sun's previous leadership on Mustafar in his quest for allies. Shortly after his promotion, he didn't hesitate to have Black Sun join the Shadow Collective.

* BaldOfEvil: He's bald for the most part, but has black hair in a topknot.
* BeardOfEvil: He's got a goatee along with a small mustache.
* DragonAscendant: Though not by choice, since he was only promoted (and very quickly) through Darth Maul having Savage Opress execute his previous bosses. While now Black Sun's leader, he is a sub-dragon to Darth Maul in the Shadow Collective.
* IHaveYourWife: He tries to force a merger between Black Sun and the Pyke Syndicate by taking Marg Krim's family hostage and using them as a bargaining chip.
* KarmaHoudini: Moj was still alive and in charge of Black Sun by the end of the Clone Wars, having been involved in the collapse of the New Mandalorian government and having kidnapped (and later, implicitly killed after they were rescued) Marg Krim's family. He was last seen being told by Maul (along with the Pykes' Krim and Crimson Dawn's Dryden Vos) to go into hiding.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: He initially thought Darth Maul trying to recruit Black Sun would be suicide for him, but had a change of thought after watching Savage Opress kill one of their thugs with his bare hands before beheading all five of Black Sun's leaders, and then getting forcefully promoted.
-->'''Darth Maul:''' [[YouAreInCommandNow It would seem the decision to join us is now yours.]]\\
'''Ziton Moj:''' After careful consideration, we will join you.
* LizardFolk: Falleen look like green-skinned humanoids, but they have a protruding spinal column.
* MobWar: In the first half of ''Dark Disciple'', he and Black Sun are engaged in one with the Pyke Syndicate over a potential merger between the two syndicates, suggesting that they were longtime rivals and decided to take advantage of the temporary power vacuum created by Darth Maul's capture (and they went back to not killing each other when Maul was rescued from Stygeon).
* OnlySaneMan: He shares this role with Fife in ''Son of Dathomir'', being among the only ones of Maul's allies to question his plans for revenge against Sidious when actively fighting against the Separatists almost got them all killed at Ord Mantell.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He and the rest of the Black Sun forces desert Maul in ''Son of Dathomir'' #4 rather than stay and fight overwhelming Separatist droid armies for an unprofitable cause.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Although Black Sun is still up and running during and after the Galactic Civil War, nothing is known of Ziton Moj's whereabouts at the time.

!!!Broken Horn Syndicate
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/broken_horn_syndicate_sw.png]]
A criminal organization based on Lothal, the Broken Horn Syndicate was once known as Twin Horns Storage, which was a shipping company used as a front by Cikatro Vizago for his boss Rask Odai.

-->''"As my mother always said, once a scoundrel, always a scoundrel."''

The leader of the Broken Horn crime syndicate on Lothal. The crew of the ''Ghost'' occasionally worked with him, if reluctantly, in their operations.

* AffablyEvil: He's a ruthless criminal, but he doesn't go out of his way to be cruel and can be reasoned with. Which is a lot more than you can say of the Empire.
* AintTooProudToBeg: Begs Ezra to let him out of his cell, after being imprisoned in his own brig for at least a day by Hondo.
* BilingualBonus: His name means Scar Face in Esperanto. So, you've got "Film/{{Scarface|1983}}" running around in the ''Star Wars'' universe.
* ButtMonkey: Not only do our rebel heroes not like him, but he's always getting in trouble with fellow criminals and the Empire. For example, Hondo managed to lock him in the brig of ''his own ship'' and took command of it in the meantime, and it would've stayed that way if Ezra hadn't come to bail him out.
* ChildHater: He mutters that he hates kids after he blasts Ezra and Chopper's escape pod off his ship. It also turns out that he's also had a previous encounter with two other kids years ago that probably had to do with this too.
** It turns out that [[spoiler:making Lina and Milo do work for his and Odai's syndicate (then called the Twin Horns Storage) eventually ended with the kids' bounty hunter tracking them down to their little den and fighting Vizago, [[LaserGuidedKarma who got his left horn snapped by her]]. And that's why he renamed his syndicate to the [[MeaningfulRename Broken Horn]] Syndicate.]]
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Subverted. It's said he would sell his own mother into slavery for a profit, but Hera mentions that her crew is too good a source of income for him to sell out to the Empire, but that won't stop him from bailing out without paying them when a deal turns sour.
* EasilyForgiven: Very much averted, as the ''Ghost'' crew ceases any contact with him early on in the series after he abandons them to the Empire.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Apparently, he was fond of his mother, though whether or not he would actually sell his mom for a couple of credits as Hera says is unknown. It's also implied his mother was a scoundrel too.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's disgusted to see what the Empire has done to Lothal in ''Rebels'' Season 4, which has been his base of operations for almost two decades and might even be where he grew up.
* EvilCounterpart: [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E04BrothersOfTheBrokenHorn "Brothers of the Broken Horn"]] portrays him as a darker take on Hondo Ohnaka's "charismatic yet ruthless" criminal archetype. Whereas Hondo has some sense of morality and will sometimes stick his own neck out out of the goodness of his heart, Vizago is utterly remorseless and is even more obsessed with making a profit. It's telling that Hondo can maintain a FriendlyEnemy relationship with Ezra and the ''Ghost'' crew when the gang would quickly sever all ties with Vizago. This changes over time, as in Season 4 he shows up in the quality of EnemyMine exactly like Hondo.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: None of the ''Ghost'' crew members like him. Even Rex and Kallus--who have never or scarcely met him personally--don't like him. Whenever they have something that benefits him, he tries to get buddy-buddy with them. He's also the ButtMonkey to fellow criminals. There's probably a reason why he doesn't seem to have organic henchmen anymore and uses droids instead.
* GodzillaThreshold: Following the [[UngratefulBastard incident with the disruptors]], the ''Ghost'' crew became less willing to work for him. When [[spoiler: Kanan's been captured by the Empire]], Ezra decides they have no choice but to turn to him for leads (a decision that Hera is ''infuriated'' with).
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Going along with what his name translates to as stated in BilingualBonus, Vizago does indeed have a scar on his face. He also has a broken horn.
* {{Greed}}: His defining vice. Hera argued that he'd be willing to sell his mother if it meant making a small profit, then added that he wouldn't sell them out because they're a source of income.
* HeelFaceTurn: When the crew frees a Mining Guild transport with him on it, he joins the Rebellion along with the other freed slaves.
* HornedHumanoid: A natural trait for Devaronian males, and going along with the name of his syndicate, one of them is broken.
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: The syndicate was already suffering under the Empire when we first saw him, but by season 4 it's completely gone and he's reduced to working for the Empire with only his ship to his name. And when he gets caught smuggling, he's made a slave to the Mining Guild.
* MeaningfulName: See BilingualBonus. His production name was also "Scarface".
* MeaningfulRename: The Broken Horn Syndicate used to be called the Twin Horns Syndicate until [[spoiler:the Shade broke one of his horns in a fight.]]
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: As mentioned under "Bilingual Bonus", his name means "Scarface" when translated to English.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: As evidenced in "Rebel Resolve", Vizago really isn't that bothered by the whole rebellion against the Empire morally-wise.
* OddFriendship: He gets along oddly well with [[OldSoldier Commander Wolffe]] and [[KidHero Mart]] during the ''Rebels'' series finale.
* KarmaHoudini: He made off with half a shipment of banned weapons without paying the ''Ghost'' crew for retrieving them, and he has not received any kind of punishment for it.
** Subverted later on; Hondo Ohnaka disabled his droids, imprisoned Vizago, and stole his ship. Since Ezra is too honorable to refuse the favor owed Vizago, and Ohnaka isn't much of a saint either, Ezra decides to help him get back his ship. However, he does leave Vizago his ship, but with no credits or generators, so that's the worst punishment he ever receives.
** Finally fully averted when he's MadeASlave after being caught smuggling puffer pigs.
* ObviouslyEvil: His species naturally look like demons, he has a hideous scar on his face, and a very foreboding voice. Played straight in that he ''is'' a selfish criminal, but also played with in that he's one of the least malevolent ones around.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Cash is his main motivator when helping the Ghost crew. But now, money is the only thing that can help him cope with the brutality of the Empire.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When a deal to trade some T-7 ion disruptors turns sour and Agent Kallus arrives with a pack of AT-DP walkers, he makes off with half the shipment and leaves the ''Ghost'' crew to fend for themselves [[UngratefulBastard while he refuses to pay them for the half of the shipment they did give him]].
* SkewedPriorities: When Imperials board his ship for an inspection when they realize he's smuggling unauthorized lifeforms (the ''Ghost'' crew), he stays behind after the ''Ghost'' crew releases his new puffer pigs for a diversion so he can grab one of his puffer pigs before getting out of there. It inflates and he gets left behind. The next time we see him, he's working in a prisoner labor camp and has to be bailed out by the ''Ghost'' crew.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Just because he's opposed to the Empire doesn't mean he's an outstanding moral individual. Suffice to say, the ''Ghost'' crew -- especially [[TeamMom Hera]] -- does not enjoy working with him. Since he was too much of a {{Jerkass}}, they've stopped coming to him for help.
* TookALevelInKindness: After his HeelFaceTurn, he's less of a {{Jerkass}} to the point that he takes his new role as a rebel seriously, finds Ezra's back-up plan cool ([[spoiler:space whales]]), and has an OddFriendship with Wolffe & Mart.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It is currently unknown as to what happened to the disruptors he bought from the ''Ghost'' crew.

A gangster that sought out a transmitter of unknown power. He crossed paths with the crew of the ''Millennium Falcon'', which cost him his chances at claiming the transmitter for himself, leading to him seeking out revenge against Lando by threatening Cloud City.

* BigBadWannabe: He's the main villain of ''Last Shot'', but obviously nowhere close in power to any Imperial, hence why he seeks out a special transmitter that supposedly would've made him powerful. [[spoiler:The transmitter contained a kill order for droids across the galaxy to kill organic beings, but that was put to a halt thanks to the efforts of our heroes.]]
* MadDoctor: His M.O. Fyzen believes that droids are superior to organic life since they do not grow old and die, and if organic beings can use mechanical parts to repair themselves, [[HumanResources then why can't the opposite be true?]]
* StartOfDarkness: Fyzen's and his friend were kidnapped by Amani gangsters while they were medical students, but while being transported the gangsters were attacked and the only survivors were Fyzen, his friend and a medical droid.

The leader of the Dank Graks, who has a grudge against Maz Kanata for conning him out of control of Takodana and had plans to acquire a weapon to wipe Maz and the Jedi off Takodana.

* AgentProvocateur: In the fourth issue, he reveals that the Graks were enlisted alongside some other cults to cause chaos on Jedha. This makes the Graks proxies for the Path of the Open Hand.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Maz notes that while he and his gang are incredibly eccentric, they're also incredibly dangerous. It's not an unfounded claim since he's also a Dark Force user.
* CardCarryingVillain: Seeing how he almost unquestioningly buys into Sav's [[BlatantLies overly inflated alibi]] (which includes killing a still-living Jedi Master and eating him), he'll accept just about anyone into the Graks as long as they were from a Dark Side cult.
* EvilCounterpart: To Maz during the High Republic era, who is also a Force user in charge of a pirate gang. Unlike Maz, who is a FriendlyPirate and on good terms with the Jedi, Arkik is a former Dark Force cultist with a grudge against her and the Jedi.
* MovingTheGoalPosts: When Sav Malagan tries to ingratiate herself into the ranks of the Dank Graks, Arkik has her take the two-part "Trial of the Graks" (which according to Saya Keem, he just made up).

The youngest member of the Dank Graks.
----
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: When a disguised Sav Malagan asks to join the Dank Graks, she is eager to have her join, if only because she'll have someone closer to her age to talk to.
* DoesNotLikeMen: In her heart-to-hearts with Sav, she mentions that she dislike boys (except for Drrn, whom she sees as something else), which is how she figured out she actually wasn't a boy like the other Graks presumed. Daniel Jose Older has also confirmed that Saya is a lesbian.
* OnlySaneByComparison: The Dank Graks are a bunch of weirdos. Between Arkik's ambitions and delusions, Drrn being easily provoked, and Lavalox Verzen being a cannibalistic lunatic, the worst that can be said about Saya is that she can be a CloudCuckoolander and thrill-seeking teenager at times. However, she's also person in the group to catch on that "Bazrip Ratht" is actually a girl and not a boy as the other three presumed. She's also the only person on the ''Grim Devourer'' who seems to know how to cook good food.
* PerkyGoth: Her in her first few appearances, she seems to be the dark and brooding type. When Sav tries to join (under the alias of "Bazrip Ratht"), she proves to be excited by the idea of another teenager joining the crew, is gleeful at being lifted up with the Force (whereas Drrn and Lavalox are uncomfortable), and is very forthcoming with Sav. She also ecstatically refers to Raf Thathburn's Corellian hound as a "puppy".

* BewareTheQuietOnes: So far, his dialogue consists of contemplative sounds and angry grunts. However, it doesn't take much to set him off.
* HairTriggerTemper: On the surface, he seems to be the most reserved of the Graks, usually just standing there looking creepy. When Saya teases him by throwing a pillow at him while on break, he tries to chase after her.
* LeanAndMean: He's a dark and shady Muun who is also part of a group Dark Force-using pirates.

* SapientEatSapient: If him asking what certain people taste like is any indication, he's a serial cannibal of sentient species.

The realization that Han was also getting loans from the Kanjiklub behind his back is what motivates him to finally deem Han expendable.
* UncertainDoom: Although he is last seen safe and sound in the movie reporting that Han has BB-8 to the First Order, in the novelization he realizes right after this that he is stranded on Han's freighter with two rathtars still at large and rescue some time from arriving.

Near the end of the Galactic Civil War, Tasu joined T'onga's crew of bounty hunters and found himself embroiled in the warfare between several of powerful galactic syndicates. Tasu eventually returned to Nar Kanji and led a rebellion against the Hutts to become the leader of the Kanjiklub.

When encountering an old rival from the fighting pits he is happy for the rematch and hopes that he survives for another fight after cutting off his leg and tossing him off a roof.
* BilingualDialogue: He refuses to speak Basic, which he considers a soft language for the weak, preferring to communicate in Jablogian. While working with T'onga's crew he does speek Basic out of necessicity.

* FantasticRacism: In addition to Hutts, he also has a strong disdain for Pykes, and shows a bit of apprehension towards taking a job for them when the Pyke Syndicate hires T'onga's crew as bodyguards for a party.

!!!'''Homeworld:''' Kijimi

->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/KeriRussell
->'''Appearances:''' ''Literature/PoeDameronFreeFall'' | ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker''

-->''"Not that you care...but I think you're okay."''

The leader of the Spice Runners. She spends most of her time in the Thieves' Quarter of Kijimi and crosses paths with the First Order and Resistance during their conflict.

* AcePilot: She proves at the battle on Exegol that the Y-Wing, normally a slow and cumbersome starfighter, is a force to be reckoned in the hands of someone like her, skillfully evading incoming TIE Dagger fire by [[DoABarrelRoll doing barrel rolls]] and singlehandedly blasting a Star Destroyer's cannon (thus taking down the entire ship with it), whereas multiple fighters had to gang up on another's cannon moments prior.
* AdvertisedExtra: She had a fairly notable media presence leading up to the ''The Rise of Skywalker''[='=]s release and got her own character poster, though in the film itself she only has a significant role in the second act, bringing the heroes to Babu Frik, giving Poe Dameron the resolve to lead the Resistance, and handing over First Order data medallion so they can board the ''Steadfast''. Other than that, she plays a small part in the final battle and the celebration afterward.
* AnchoredShip: Whatever's [[ShipTease going on]] between her and Poe is left unresolved by the end of ''The Rise of Skywalker''. She softens towards him after she helps him get to Babu Frik and asks him to come with her when she leaves for the Colonies. At the end of the film, Poe non-verbally suggests they go somewhere more private, but she declines. It's a lighthearted exchange and leaves their relationship open-ended.
* AntiHero: She smuggles illegal drugs for a living and was initially willing to hand over Rey to the First Order purely for money (even though the First Order have been terrorizing her homeworld and she makes it clear she doesn't support them). However, in the end she does help the heroes and she comes to aid them on Exegol.
* AscendedExtra: ''Poe Dameron: Free Fall'' gives her a much larger role compared to ''The Rise of Skywalker'' and expands on her character, in particular her history with Poe.
* BigDamnHeroes: At the end of ''Free Fall'', she saves Poe from her mother.
* CoolGuns: She has a pair of black and gold E-851 blaster pistols, which look a bit like high-tech versions of a flintlock pistol.
* CoolHelmet: Wears a golden helmet with a black visor.
* DamselOutOfDistress: In ''Free Fall'', she is led into a trap by another smuggler. She blasts the ceiling and pulls Poe and herself out of there. And in ''The Rise of Skywalker'', she escapes Kijimi before it's destroyed.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: She's a criminal and introduced herself by holding the heroes at gunpoint and intended to give Rey to the First Order for bounty, but after Rey defeated her and her crew easily, she warms up to them and agrees to help them. Later during her private conversation with, she shows [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold her softer side]] and asks Poe to come with her, with the implication that she still has feelings for him.
* DisappearedDad: Zorii's father is never mentioned.
* DisneyDeath: It's implied she may have been killed when Kijimi is destroyed by the First Order, but she turns up alive at the end to aid the Resistance.
* DoomedHometown: Her homeworld of Kijimi is destroyed by the Final Order to send a message to the galaxy regarding what will happen to any world that defies it.
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Once Poe's father and L'ulo track him down in Poe Dameron: Free Fall, Zorii shows her true colors. She acts disrespectful towards Kes, acts entitled and controlling towards Poe, and threatens to kill Poe if he leaves the Spice Runners of Kijimi, mocks Poe for being emotional and a romantic, punches Poe, then beats Poe up when he betrays the Spice Runners.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Downplayed, but in ''Free Fall'', she can't seem to understand why Poe's father Kes almost sold his farm and made a deal with shady pirates in order to track his son down.
* TheFaceless: Her full face is never seen in the film, merely her eyes at one point.
* FauxActionGirl: {{Downplayed|trope}}. She's the leader of a group of spice smugglers with years of experience and wields blasters, but in the film itself she only gets into one direct fight that we see and promptly gets her butt kicked by Rey (who is admittedly Force-sensitive). Zorii does turn up later at the battle on Exegol, though the most we see her do is take out two TIE Daggers and a Star Destroyer's cannon before joining up with Poe.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Her skin-tight suit leaves little to imagine.
* GenerationXerox: [[spoiler: ''Free Fall'' reveals her mother Zeva was the originally the leader of the Spice Runners and Zorii ends up following in her footsteps]].
* GreaterNeedThanMine: She [[NoodleIncident somehow]] managed to obtain a First Order captain's medallion, which can give the user's ship universal clearance, and intended to use it to leave Kijimi for a better life. However, she insists that Poe take it so he can infiltrate a Star Destroyer to rescue Chewbacca.
* GunsAkimbo: {{Subverted|trope}}. She always has two blasters on her and she's depicted wielding them simultaneously on the theatrical release poster, but in the film itself she's only seen using one blaster while keeping the other holstered.
* HeelFaceTurn: Happens off-screen, but she seems to have grown out of her violent behavior from ''Free Fall''.
* HeroicAmbidexterity: According to the ''[[AllThereInTheManual Visual Dictionary]]'', she's ambidextrous and tries to [[IAmNotLeftHanded avoid giving this away in combat so as to catch opponents off-guard]].
* IronicName: Her surname Bliss means 'perfect happiness or joy', but Zorii herself comes off as quite a jaded and abrasive individual, first introduced holding the heroes at gunpoint and furiously chewing out Poe for abandoning her crew.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: She's first introduced in ''The Rise of Skywalker'', the final episode in the Sequel Trilogy.
* MsFanservice: {{Downplayed|trope}} as her appearance isn't hugely revealing and she doesn't show any skin except for her eyes briefly, though her SpyCatsuit is rather clingy and shows off her figure.
* NewOldFlame: She's this to Poe Dameron; it's revealed they knew each other from his days as a spice runner and she's still pissed off at him for screwing them over, yet she she also shows lingering affection for him and they're flirtatious with each other.
* NotGoodWithRejection: [[spoiler: Although there were other factors at play, ''Free Fall'' indicates that Zorii's antagonism towards Poe is partly rooted in him rejecting her offer to take over the Spice Runners, which she's been bitter about for over a decade]].
* TheResenter: Towards Poe for abruptly ditching her and the other spice runners to join the Resistance; in spite of this she [[BelligerentSexualTension does still care about him]] and is persuaded to help him.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: She helps Poe, Rey and Finn sneak aboard a First Order ship to rescue Chewie and retrieve a Sith dagger to find Exegol. Although everything to do with the dagger ends up being [[AllForNothing inconsequential]], they do save Chewie.
* StylishProtectionGear: She wears a maroon bodysuit with gold accessories, which presumably protects her from Kijimi's frigid climate.
* {{Tsundere}}: Default "Harsh". She's introduced holding a blaster to Poe's head and saying how she "wants to see [his] brains in the snow". A few scenes later, she's gently encouraging him not to give up hope of defeating the First Order and gives him a rare item to help save Chewie.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: In ''Free Fall'', she kills Ledesmar after she stabs Poe, and at the end of the novel, she pushes her mother away from Poe as she's about to kill him and engages with her in a swordfight over that.
* WeCanRuleTogether: At the end of ''Free Fall'' [[spoiler: she suggests to Poe they should take control of the Spice Runners after they defeat Zeva and run the gang together, but Poe has become disillusioned with a life of crime and refuses. It's implied that Poe's rejection is part of the reason she is resentful towards him in ''The Rise of Skywalker'']].

* AnimalLover: Her only known redeeming quality is her love for animals, after having had a tooka as a child that the Grand Leader killed in front of her due to believing it made her weak. As such she is horrified and extremely upset at having to [[spoiler:kill Losha's pet Nexu]] in self-defense.

Lady Proxima is the fearsome matriarch of the White Worms. She rules Corellia's black market from a tangle of sewer tunnels beneath Corellia's Coronet City. A briny pool serves as a throne room where Proxima feeds her hatchlings and commands the urchins known as scrumrats.

* AliensSpeakingEnglish: She's rather fluent in Basic for a {{Starfish Alien|s}}.
* BadBoss: She exploits poor and/or orphaned children to do her dirty work, has no trouble sending them into volatile situations and punishes them harshly if they don't carry out her orders to her liking (she has Han beaten when he returns from a botched exchange, [[MisplacedRetribution even though]] ''[[MisplacedRetribution he]]'' [[MisplacedRetribution was the one who got turned on by the buyers]]). And she actually seems to expect the kids to be ''grateful'' to her for 'saving' them.
* DistaffCounterpart: Could be considered one to Unkar Plutt. They're both scumbags who force children to work dangerous jobs to earn them money, in exchange for measly food portions, and send their goons to beat up TheHero when they displease them.
** Could also be considered one to Jabba the Hutt, as both of them are nasty, slug-like StarfishAliens (although Proxima is closer to a centipede or a grub) who control large criminal gangs and have a bone to pick with Han Solo.

* RightHandAttackDog: He uses Corellian hounds when going after Han Solo and Qi'ra.
* TheStarscream: In the novelization, he's secretly glad that Han attacked Lady Proxima because it made her look weak which would mean her rivals would be more likely to assassinate her, giving Moloch a chance to control the gang.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Like other Grindalids, he has to live in the dark as he can get badly burned by Corellia's sunlight. He has to wear a customized protective armor when venturing outside.

!!!'''Homeworld:''' Drazkel

->'''Appearances:''' ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDarthMaul Darth Maul]]''

-->''"I see no reason we shouldn't avoid any unpleasantness. After all, I appreciate a little rashness every now and then."''

The Boss-Mistress of the Xrexus Cartel. Some time before the Invasion of Naboo, her syndicate captured Jedi Padawan Eldra Kaitis and intended to auction her off to the highest bidder. That is, until the unknown Sith apprentice known as Darth Maul came into the picture.

* AlliterativeName: '''X'''ev '''X'''rexus.
* AssholeVictim: Maul eliminates her to cover his tracks, and the galaxy was all the better for it.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: When Maul arrives to kill her, Xrexus remains clam and wistfully notes that had she known she was about to be murdered, she would have gotten a better vintage to drink.
* RichBitch: She clearly has no morals, doing whatever she wants as long as she gets that money and she stays at the top.
* WouldHurtAChild: Like every mob boss here, she sees selling off a Jedi apprentice that just so happens to be a [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Twi'lek]] [[HarmfulToMinors girl]] as a great way to make some credits. Her clients are fine with it too, per usual.
* XtremeKoolLetterz: This woman has ''three'' X's in her name. ''And'' a V.

!!!Zann Consortium
A crime syndicate active at least after the Galactic Civil War. Its members are enemies of the Black Sun, particularly in the Anoat sector of the Outer Rim.

[[folder:In General]]
* AdaptationalWimp: In ''Legends'', the Zann Consortium was a strong contender for the [[MeleeATrois third galaxy superpower]] during the Galactic Civil War: it owned massive fleets with unique technology, had many powerful Force users in its staff, and is possibly the only organization that could boast of having battled both the Empire and the Rebellion at the same time and come out victorious. In contrast, its canonical counterpart has not fully shown the extent of its military might, but the fact that it butts heads in equal terms with the Black Sun, which suffered a heavy case of AdaptationalWimp itself, implies the Consortium didn't fare much better at this field. The de-canonization of the battles fought by the Consortium in ''Legends'' also erases its best achievements on the battlefield, replacing them with small scale mob wars in faraway planets.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: In the ''Legends'' continuity, Tyber Zann used to be an understudy of Grand Admiral Thrawn in the Imperial Academy in Carida, being even implied that he became such a good strategist by Thrawn's influence. However, as Tyber doesn't exist personally in the Disney canon, there seems to be no relationship between Thrawn and the Zann Consortium on it.
* CanonImmigrant: Originally a faction from the videogame ''VideoGame/EmpireAtWar'', it was canonized by Disney in ''VideoGame/StarWarsUprising''.
* CrypticBackgroundReference: His only canonical appearance yet amounts to a mention that only people familiar with ''Legends'' could recognize.
* DemotedToExtra: Downplayed, if only because the Zann Consortium from ''Legends'' was actually not featured in more than a handful of works (though it had a solid place in the canon and no work actually contradicted it). However, the Consortium's main appearance in ''Empire at War'' showed it as a very powerful faction even at the end of the Civil War, especially after raiding Palpatine's secret vaults and collecting his untold riches, while in canon the Consortium is seemingly little more than a random mob.
* NGOSuperpower: Downplayed. Unlike its ''Legends'' counterpart, this version is clearly nowhere near the level of galactic superpowers like the New Republic or the First Order, but its rivalry with the Black Sun implies the Consortium still has a lot of influence on the underworld of many planets.
* SatelliteCharacter: Little is said about them in Disney continuity aside from the fact that they have an enmity with the Black Sun.
* SchrodingersCanon: The original Zann Consortium was named after its founder, Tyber Zann. Its canonical counterpart retains the name, which means there should still be some guy surnamed Zann behind it, but nothing about it has been confirmed or disproved.

[[caption-width-right:300:''"Live free. Don't join."'']]

->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/BenicioDelToro
->'''Dubbed by:''' Creator/BorisRehlinger (European French)
->'''Appearances:''' ''[=DJ=]'' | ''Film/TheLastJedi''

-->''"No bad guys, no good guys, just business."''

A mysterious slicer that Finn and Rose meet in Canto Bight. When their plan to recruit the Master Codebreaker for the Resistance fails, they're forced to settle for his services instead.

* AffablyEvil: He's certainly not the kind of person that you'd want to actually associate yourself with, but he's genuinely polite enough that you wouldn't regret spending any time with him. Even though, y'know, he's a criminal.
* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: To Vila Restal in ''Series/BlakesSeven''. They both have very similar personalities and outlooks on life as well as being weak fighters. [[spoiler: However, Vila is a bit more principled and would be disgusted by D.J's selling out Finn and Rose to the First Order.]]
* BadassLongcoat: Though he isn't really a badass (not a fighter, certainly) he's still a "cool" sort of guy in a long, dark, tattered yet somewhat stylish coat.
* BaitTheDog: Yeah, he's a criminal and a scumbag, but so are some of the franchise's most beloved characters. And while he may seem cruel by demanding Rose's TragicKeepsake as payment, he [[PetTheDog makes up for it]] by giving it back to her afterwards. Didn't stop him from selling the Resistance out to the First Order to save his own skin, did it?
* BuffySpeak: A touch of this. Like using "Blip Blappity Bloop" when describing the plan.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: DJ is an amoral, eccentric, RummageSaleReject slicer OnlyInItForTheMoney. But he is insanely good at what he does, to the point he can hack the security systems of the best guarded starship in the galaxy and make it look easy. Lampshaded by the official preview material, which describes him as having "threadbare clothes and [a] lackadaisical attitude that conceal a sharp mind and expert skills".
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter:
** Could be considered TLJ's answer to Lando, with a few distinctions. He's unkempt and jailed when we meet him, counter to Lando's high status on Bespin. Oh, and while Lando betrays the heroes due to coercion, realizes his mistake and makes amends, DJ was motivated by money and feels no remorse.
** Also TLJ's answer to Han Solo: He's OnlyInItForTheMoney, NotInThisForYourRevolution, his unkempt appearance and speech impediment bring to mind the RunningGag of everyone underestimating his ship, the ''[[WhatAPieceOfJunk Millennium Falcon]]''. Except that he really ''is'' only in it for the money, doesn't care about your revolution, and will sell you out to your enemies without a moment's hesitation. It's just business to him.
** Also TLJ's answer to Boba Fett: In contrast, he's just a regular locked up criminal while Boba has a reputation as the galaxy's best bounty hunter. Though neither of them actually care about the war and are OnlyInItForTheMoney, while also being efficient at their jobs. There's really not that much different between them. All he cares about is getting paid no matter which side happens to have the higher price. Similar to how Boba's association with the Empire boils down to just being hired by them whenever they need his service.
* CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: He sees society and the people in it as one big dumb machine so he prefers to live on the margins and exploit and scam them in response.
* TheCracker: In the ''Star Wars'' universe, [[CallARabbitASmeerp hackers are known as "slicers"]].
* DeadpanSnarker: He notes that he can't help but to overhear Finn and Rose's conversation... Because they're speaking so loudly.
* DevilInPlainSight: DJ is an off-kilter criminal that Finn and Rose are slow to trust and only join forces with when there's no other options, despite the fact DJ openly states he doesn't pick sides and only cares about money. If you were expecting a [[LoveableRogue Han Solo type]], you were wrong, since he's exactly what he says he is and sells the Resistance out to the First Order.
* DirtyCoward: When things go south and The First Order gave DJ the choice to "sing" (and get a fat reward) or get executed, he chose the former.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Has his boots off while in his cell (even carrying them hanging off his neck to leave his hands free, in the classic tramp fashion), and his dirty, tattered socks show he likely does it a lot.
* DramaticStutter: DJ has a notable SpeechImpediment that comes and goes as he talks. In contrast to most examples of the trope, it actually has kind of a [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools double purpose]]: the stutter makes him creepier before the characters get to know him, and the nonchalant way he carries himself with it underlines how damn relaxed he is afterwards.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: He joins Rose and Finn in their First Order infiltration mission.
* FairWeatherFriend: Seems to have shades of this... especially when you consider DJ's "buddy-buddy" interactions with "Roundy" ([=BB-8=]). Finn and Rose also are genuinely ''shocked'' and besides themselves when he betrays them since they (and we the audience) were kind of starting to actually ''like'' him.
* GentlemanThief: Seems to be mostly his M.O. in the comic about him; He mainly scams casinos and the wealthy and powerful and the one exception turns out to be a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]]. [[note]]A Relief-Work organization providing water....was just a cover for a spice (drug) smuggling cartel[[/note]]
* GreyAndGrayMorality: DJ discusses his belief that there is no good or evil people when Finn's constant claims of BlackAndWhiteMorality get on his nerves. How? By showing Finn that the previous owner of their newly-stolen ship was an arms dealer who sold to the First Order and Resistance alike.
-->'''DJ:''' It's all machine, partner. Live free, don't join.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: As part of his personal philosophy, he's not one to actually pick a side for too long. Case in point, he later sells out the Finn and Rose to the First Order, allowing him to walk free and getting hundreds of Resistance fighters killed.
* HiddenDepths: DJ's lackadaisical mannerisms belie a surprisingly jaded and pessimistic worldview. He figures that at the end of the day, there are no "Good Guys" or "Bad Guys" -- just fools who fight and jerks who profit from it, and he'd rather be the latter. There's also some ambiguous depths that are revealed just before and after his betrayal -- just before, he gives Rose her down-payment back seemingly out of genuine kindness, and after, he seems to display at least ''some'' degree of remorse over selling the Resistance out.
-->'''Finn:''' You're wrong.\\
'''DJ:''' ...Maybe.
* {{Hipster}}: Seems to be this mixed with being a [[{{Hobos}} Hobo]].
* {{Hobos}}: Certainly comes off as one. Also seems to have some shades of {{Hipster}}.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Played with. DJ demands Rose's necklace, her only reminder of her beloved, now deceased sister, as payment for his help, but he later gives it back to her and reveals he only wanted it because the metal it's made from is an excellent conductor. The audience thus learns that DJ isn't all bad under his rough exterior. Then he sells her and Finn out to the First Order for a much more sizable reward than the Resistance could give him and callously leaves them to die, reminding the audience that not all bad doesn't mean secretly good. And then again, he does show what seems to be remorse for what he has done, hinting he is not as completely amoral as he looks.
* KarmaHoudini: DJ betrays the Resistance, gets hundreds of Resistance fighters killed and waltzes out with no comeuppance whatsoever. This is pretty much the last we see him in the film.
* LackOfEmpathy: He has a very blasé attitude toward the conflict between the Resistance and the First Order despite all the suffering it causes. This attitude extends to selling out hundreds of people to their deaths to make a tidy profit, including two people who trusted him.
-->'''DJ:''' They blow you up today, you blow them up tomorrow.
* LovableRogue: He's played up as one. A shady criminal recruited to the rebels side who says he's OnlyInItForTheMoney, but has hints that there might a nobler side to him. Turns out, he ''really is'' only in it for the money, and may even have been scamming Finn and Rose from the start.
* MirrorCharacter: As a {{Deconstruction}} of the LovableRogue, D.J. is very similar to a pre-CharacterDevelopment Han Solo. He teams up with the heroes [[OnlyInItForTheMoney for the money]], while constantly reminding them that he's NotInThisForYourRevolution and telling the younger, naive heroes the rebellion/resistance is a lost cause and they be better off abandoning it. The similarities emphasize the difference that Han decides to [[ChangedMyMindKid help the rebels out and save Luke]] when the chips are down, while D.J. happily sells the Resistance out to the First Order when they make him a better offer.
* TheNicknamer: Gives our heroes pet names, mainly "Roundy" (for [=BB-8=], who he seemed to have a fondness for) and "[=Big-F=]" for Finn.
* NoNameGiven: His name is not given in ''The Last Jedi''. WordOfGod and advertising material calls him "DJ" after his personal motto, "Live free, '''D'''on't '''J'''oin".
* NothingPersonal: He ''tries'' to say something like this when he sells out Finn and Rose, but due to his LackOfEmpathy it comes across as cold and uncaring, even if his last line and body language implies it is genuine.
* NotSoBadassLongcoat: Is more like this than a BadassLongcoat (seeing that he's not into fighting), but he still looks cool.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He [[NotInThisForYourRevolution doesn't care one way or another about the conflict between the Resistance and the First Order]], and his only goal is to find a way to make some credits off the chaos. Unsurprisingly his loyalty to the Resistance evaporates the moment he realizes things have failed leaving him with no pay and minutes to live. He's even able to swing a reward out of the First Order in the process, the subsequent deaths bothering him not at all. That said, he does appear to show some guilt in his body language and, assuming he wasn't scamming from the start, it ''was'' either betrayal or death.
* OpportunisticBastard: DJ couldn't care less about politics or loyalty, he's just about seizing opportunities to make money. He overhears Finn and Rose's plan by chance while they're in prison together and only convinces them to let him help after they coincidentally run into him a second time. He then sells them out and tells the First Order about the Resistance's plan to escape, all for a larger payout. Though it's ambiguous whether he was conning Finn and Rose the entire time, or if he decided the First Order would pay better.
* PetTheDog:
** He initially demands Rose's [[TragicKeepsake necklace]] as a deposit for his services, but returns it to her after it turns out he only needed it as a conductor.
** He also appears to be a bit buddy-buddy with [=BB-8=]....whom he affectionately refers to as "Roundy" and the droid even went with him when he initially ditched to jail (reuniting with Rose & Finn on the beach).
** The one-shot comic about him seems to show that DJ mainly only scams the rich and powerful, casinos, other crooks and big business (rather than the poor, average person, old widows, etc. like a lot of con-artists). In a way, despite his betrayal in ''The Last Jedi'', he may genuinely be a LovableRogue (albeit one who's averse to fighting and wouldn't give his life for a cause).
* ThePhilosopher: Of the {{Postmodernism}}, {{Hipster}}, StrawNihilist variety.
* ThePigPen: Wears dirty clothes and is certainly a very scruffy guy. Possibly justified by being in a literal dungeon with no shower or washing machine, as it is never revealed how much time is he supposed to have been there for before Finn and Rose find him.
* RuggedScar: Has a distinct scar on his upper-cheek.
* RummageSaleReject: DJ might be an expert hacker, but you [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DAoyJPVXoAEBhnf.jpg won't see him on a fashion walkway]] any time soon.
* ShoutOut: [[WordOfSaintPaul Benicio Del Toro]] compared DJ's personality to the sort of character you'd see in a [[Creator/FyodorDostoevsky Dostoevsky]] novel, or a song by Music/BobDylan or Music/TomWaits.
* ShadowArchetype: Essentially he's one to Finn in the film. Up to this point, Finn still didn't really care about the Resistance cause and just wanted to get away from the conflict. But the adventure with Rose opened his eyes to the bigger picture and DJ is essentially him if he never learned that lesson, uncaring to the suffering of the oppressed around them and just looking out for himself by any means necessary. DJ selling them out ultimately clinches things and finally pushes Finn into finally fighting for someone other than himself.
* TheSociopath: Subverted. Not caring that the information you sold out murdered hundreds of people is '''just''' as despicable as cackling in evil glee about it, ''especially'' if you coldly add that the hefty amount of cash you got for said betrayal is an adequate justification for doing so. However, his body language does indicate some genuine resignation, if not even guilt, and it was either selling out his allies for wealth and leaving unharmed or suffering a certain brutal death. Being a "True Neutral" with no dog in either fight, what would be the sense of dying for a cause one doesn't believe in? He comes across as less "evil" and more "selfish cowardly jerk".
* SpannerInTheWorks: His betrayal of Finn and Rose not only screws them over, but it completely derails their plan -- the First Order learns of the escaping transports and hundreds of Resistance soldiers get killed in the process.
* SpeechImpediment: He has a stutter that comes and goes, sometimes bordering on PorkyPigPronunciation. It could pass as a nervous tick if he weren't so laid back.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The last we see of him is him going towards his ship, not him flying off. As such, it's unclear whenever he [[KarmaHoudini flew off]] or [[KarmicDeath died when Holdo crashed into the ship before he could leave]]. The cut scene where Rose bites Hux's finger seems to indicate the former, as when Hux scurries off, the ship isn't there in the background at all.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: DJ's accent is very...[[BuffySpeak Benicio Del Toro-ish]]. His frequent mumbling and DramaticStutter only make it that much weirder.
* WildCard: Serves no one but himself. He agrees to help Finn and Rose at first by leading them abroad Snoke's flagship, only to betray them later and reveal the Resistance's plan to Hux when captured and offered a reward, before [[KarmaHoudini getting away scot-free]] and leaving Finn and Rose to die.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/master_codebreaker_sw_7.png]]
!!!'''Species:''' Human

->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/JustinTheroux
->'''Appearances:''' ''Film/TheLastJedi''

A human codebreaker recommended by Maz Kanata, who was sought out by Finn and Rose to stop the ''Supremacy'' from tracking the Resistance.

* AcePilot: According to Maz, the Master Codebreaker is also a expert pilot.
* TheCameo: He is played by Justin Theroux, while Lily Cole plays one of his companions.
* TheCracker: He wasn't titled the "Master Codebreaker" for nothing.
* InterspeciesRomance: Maz hints at a past relationship between them.
* ItsAllAboutMe: When Maz's Smuggler's Guide fell into his hands, the Master Codebreaker was convinced the entire thing was a coded puzzle left to him by Maz, and eventually believes he decoded it with a message from her wishing him a happy new year. The whole book was in fact a little element of chaos Maz threw out into the galaxy for fun and to guide young members of the underworld.
* NoNameGiven: Maz does not provide his name to Finn and Rose, and the Master Codebreaker keeps that information very closely guarded.
* PublicSecretMessage: He posted all of his personal information in a public terminal but made it heavily encrypted. Anyone who managed to successfully uncover the information was welcome to take his mantle.
* RedHerring: Within the film itself, a man wearing a red floral symbol on his lapel that Maz Kanata recommends as a master codebreaker is seen at one of the tables in Canto Bight, but the audience never finds out if it really was him or if he could have helped the heroes, as ultimately the whole endeavor is for naught.

A companion of the Master Codebreaker who is secretly seeking to usurp his title.

* NoNameGiven: Follows in the Master Codebreaker's footsteps by not using her real name, going by the nickname Lovey instead.
* TheStarscream: She attached herself to the Master Codebreaker in order to learn his techniques firsthand and use them to crack his encrypted terminal and take his title.
