You’ve heard at least part of this name if you’re familiar with the Sequel Trilogy—this Hux is Brendol, future General Armitage Hux’s father, and the spearhead of the future training programs that would create the new military legions of the First Order. The former commandant of the Arkanis training academy in the days of the Empire, Hux would go on to train his own son in the brainwashing methods that the First Order would use on captured children to transform them into Stormtroopers.

When we meet him in The Mandalorian, Hux Sr. is seemingly in charge of the Shadow Council’s army assets in a mirror to Pellaeon’s command of the navy, as well as the mysterious “Project Necromancer.”
