* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:If his son survived the hostage crisis, he's going to find he's lost his father.]]



* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He tries to get one over on Vel by saying she'll just kill him and his family even if they cooperate, but Vel shuts him up by acknowledging that's what he would do.



* HiddenDepths: Despite being a vile, greedy Imperial, he shows an excellent understanding of the Empire's slow-handed strategic means of suffocating its' populace while pretending to offer them freedom. And despite treating his family like crap most of the time, when their lives and the lives of his subordinates are threatened, he eventually starts genuinely cooperating for their lives' sake.



* InsultBackfire: He warns Gorn that he will hang for betraying him and the Empire, who scornfully laughs that after serving under him for years, he deserves ''worse''.

to:

* InsultBackfire: HypocriticalHumor: In his introductory scene he berates his wife for helping their son Leonart get dressed, insisting he's old enough to dress himself... then orders her to come and help ''him'', a middle-aged man, get dressed.
* InsultBackfire:
** He snarls at Vel that she'll just kill him and his family regardless of whether they cooperate, and Vel shuts him up by sarcastically asking if that's what he'd do.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He spends a moment schooling his features so Mors can't see the disdain he has for her. When they meet, she immediately picks up on it (albeit assuming he dislikes her Hutt guest and general decadance rather than her personally). He likes to think he's a mastermind, but he's far from it.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He seems to hold genuine contempt for Mors, among other things, being a drug addict and owning slaves.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He's ambitous, corrupt, and happy to scheme against Moff Mors, but he'd never be party to a plan to assassinate the Emperor or Vader. Cham exploits this, confirming the news that the two are coming to Ryloth by grilling Dray on it. When Dray says they aren't coming, Cham knows the news isn't just bait for the rebels.

An Imperial assigned governorship of Desix.

* DeathGlare: He has a scathing one for Cody after [[spoiler:he refuses to execute Ames.]]

* {{Manchild}}: Grotton seems to be a young, untested Imperial who was just given his new job as governor. He makes a noise suggesting he wants one of his troopers to get him out of his seat when they land on Desix, tries bullying Ames and dips into PsychopathicManchild once he gets freed, screaming at Cody to execute Ames.
* SmugSnake: He smugly snarks to Ames that her request for neutrality was declined given his presence. Once he's captured he's reduced to whining for his freedom.
* UngratefulBastard: He only gives a half-hearted compliment to Cody for getting Ames to peacefully surrender, then demands he go back on his word and execute her.

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Nobody besides his wife and child is likely to miss him given the atrocities he committed and what he had planned for the Aldhani people.]]

* ElectricTorture: His main method of instilling discipline among the prisoners, either by his guards' use of [[ShockStick "zap rods"]] or by "volting the floor" (electrifying the entire floor of a level). [[spoiler:In the latter case, it's used to kill an entire level's worth of inmates.]]

One of the guards in the Level 5 "box" (control room overseeing the factory floor). He's in charge of delivering new men onto the floor by way of the elevator.
----
* EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler:With a dash of SkewedPriorities. When the uprising begins, he chooses to electrocute the new guy he was bringing in, even though the guy hadn't actually done anything.]]
* EvilOldFolks: Is visibly older than any of the other guards on Level 5 or anywhere else in the prison that we see.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Gets his own "zap rod" used against him by the [[LaserGuidedKarma very guy he just got done torturing with it]], causing him to topple off the elevator.]]
* NoNameGiven: Like all the other Narkina 5 Imperial personnel, he's just known by what he's called in the credits (Box Guard #1," in this case).
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:His insistence on continuing to electrocute the new guy despite the fact he hadn't done anything leads to the previously meek prisoner fighting grab, getting the ShockStick away from him and using it against him.]]
* ShockStick: Like most of the Narkina 5 guards, he wields what is referred to as a "zap rod," essentially a very powerful cattle prod. He loves threatening to use it against new arrivals.
* SkewedPriorities: [[spoiler:When he's trapped on the elevator alone with the new guy and Birnok is climbing up to them, he seems more interested in continuing to zap the new arrival rather than focusing on Birnok, and when one of the men standing above him yells for him to get down so he can have a clear shot at Birnok, but he instead just yells "What are you doing?!" and keeps zapping the new guy without ducking despite the other guard's clear intentions. EvilIsPetty indeed.]]
* SoftSpokenSadist: He speaks softly and seems to delight in threatening new arrivals with the use of his "zap rod."
* UncertainDoom: It's unclear if [[spoiler:the new guy electrocuting him with his own stun rod killed him or not. If that didn't, he could've died falling headfirst from the elevator or when the other guards try to "volt the floor."]]

An Imperial officer serving under Captain Tigo.
----
* BaldOfEvil: Has a shaved head.
* HypercompetentSidekick: In comparison to Tigo, Keysax is a lot braver and quick to action, particularly during [[spoiler:the uprising at Maarva's funeral]], where he's in the thick of the action amidst blaster fire and explosions whilst his nominal superior gives orders from a safe distance.
* PetTheDog: Speaks kindly and softly to the thoroughly traumatized [[spoiler:Bix]] when taking her to meet with Tigo and Gorv.

The Imperial official in charge of the prison on Narkina 5. As befitting his nickname, the technicians assisting him in the control room are called "Apostles."
----
* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:Pretty much folds like wet cardboard the minute he has a gun in his face. The same goes for his subordinates. In fairness to them, despite them running the prison, it's obvious they're all just technicians, even "God."]]
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Likely only because they'd killed so many Imperials escaping, but despite giving the order to massacre all the prisoners on Level 2, or doing it himself with the push of a button, Cassian and Kino make a conscious decision ''not'' to kill him or his remaining "Apostle."]]
* TheManBehindTheCurtain: Is almost only ever encountered as a booming voice coming over the P.A. system issuing orders to the guards and inmates. [[spoiler:He's eventually revealed to be just a normal, not even terribly threatening man.]]

* ThisCannotBe: Is ''very'' surprised when he turns around to find [[spoiler:Kino and Cassian]] standing in the control room, uttering a disbelieving and frankly [[DullSurprise understated]] "You shouldn't be here."
* WardensAreEvil: He's an Imperial and in charge of a highly regimented prison that uses the inmates as slave labor, punishing them with ElectricTorture if they get out of line and even [[spoiler:orders the deaths of an entire level following a mistake that sees a recently paroled prisoner get accidentally sent back rather than admit his mistake]].

* WardensAreEvil: Much more so than "God." Whereas "God" is at best callously indifferent and several levels removed from the pain and misery he inflicts from the control room, the intake warden gets up close and personal with new arrivals and delights in making them suffer.
