Brendol Hux

Brendol Hux was a human male who served the Galactic Empire. Prior to his service in the Empire, Hux had served as a junior officer in the Grand Army of the Republic, communicating tactics and strategy as determined by Jedi Generals. Four years before the Battle of Yavin, he was the commandant of the Arkanis Academy. Hux created the Commandant's Cadets, a secret society within his academy, made up of handpicked cadets.

After the Imperial defeat at Endor, he was trapped by the New Republic during the Siege of Arkanis. However, he escaped with the help of bounty hunter Mercurial Swift, on the orders of Fleet Admiral Gallius Rax, who appointed him a member of the new Shadow Council. Ultimately, Brendol escaped the destruction of the Empire at the Battle of Jakku and fled the known galaxy alongside his illegitimate son Armitage Hux and Grand Admiral Rae Sloane as per the secret Contingency. Years after, Hux would serve as a liaison of the remnant forces in the Unknown Regions to the Shadow Council of the Imperial Remnant in the wider galaxy and proceeded with work on Project Necromancer. Hux eventually ascended to the rank of General in the army of the First Order, though he eventually met his end in 30 ABY at the hands of his protégé Captain Phasma, who had engineered the general's death alongside Armitage.
