Lieutenant Jenkes

Lieutenant Jenkes is the main antagonist of the Star Wars Rebels tie-in novel Ezra's Gamble
== Role in the book ==
Jenkes was a lieutenant with the Imperial Security Bureau on Lothal. During the fifth year of Emperor Palpatine's reign, Jenkes managed a gladiator arena on the planet of Nyriaan. In his line of business, he was acquainted with a Dug bookmaker Gronson "Shifty" Takkaro. At a later stage, Jenkes joined the Galactic Empire and became an agent of the Imperial Security Bureau.
Some nine years later, Jenkes was transferred to the Outer Rim planet of Lothal, where he served under the ISB Lieutenant Herdringer. Jenkes later murdered his superior and stole Herdringer's identity. Using his position as an ISB official, Jenkes teamed up with "Shifty" Takkaro to arrange an illegal event known as "Gladiator Night", going under the title "the Commissioner."
Five years prior to the Battle of Yavin, the Trandoshan bounty hunter named Bossk arrived on Lothal, seeking to collect a bounty on Takkaro, who had antagonized the Imperial senator Hack Fenlon and skipped bail in the Ahakista system. Seeking to protect his friend and to hide their criminal enterprise, Jenkes hired the Duros assassin Angrigo and the Kratchell twins to kill Bossk. However, Jenkes was thwarted by Bossk and an unlikely ally, the young Lothal resident Ezra Bridger. Following his exposure, Jenkes was arrested and executed by the local Imperial authorities on Lothal. Later, Bossk received a long plastoid box from Commandant Cumberlayne Aresko which contained the remains of Jenkes.
