**Grand Admiral Thrawn** is a Chiss of Csilla and the Grand Admiral of the Galactic Empire and the main antagonists of the third and fourth seasons of *Star Wars Rebels*.

He was sent by the Chiss Ascendancy to see if the Republic or the Empire was capable of being allies. He was also the Commander of the Seventh Fleet and owner of the *Chimaera*.

## Personality

Even though he never told anyone, not even his most trusted friend, Eli Vanto, Thrawn despised the oppressive, racist, and corrupt Imperial culture, viewing many of his fellow officers as either evil or downright stupid. He was also one of the few within the Empire to realize how evil the Emperor actually is, even going as far to speculate that he could be in touch with the Force. Being a pragmatist, he believed the Empire to be a necessary evil and that serving it is the best way to defend his people. Ironically, he managed to obtain the rank of Grand Admiral, meaning that he is one of the highest ranking members of a civilization he neither adores nor originally comes from. Even so, the fact that he purposefully infiltrated the Imperial hierarchy means that he has to follow Imperial directives, meaning that, in order to fit in, he comes across as far more cruel than he actually is on a moral level. He believes in the ends justifying the means, which is evident when he practically kills a mechanic to set an example. Finally, Thrawn inspires loyalty from his men. Where people like Darth Vader and Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin seek to punish those who fail, Thrawn sees those failures as opportunities, so that his men can learn to do better and succeed. He views death as a means of punishing soldiers as being wasteful. Despite all of that, Thrawn is still a cold-blooded Imperial and one of the Rebels' most dangerous adversaries.

## Possessions

### Bases of operations

* **Csilla:** Thrawn's home planet that houses the Chiss, the people he swore to protect.
* **The *Chimaera*:** Thrawn's Imperial Star Destroyer. He usually operated from his ship during many battles, including the assault of Atollon and the liberation of Lothal. He and Ezra disappeared on the ship after the boy used his skills in connecting with creatures through the Force by help from the Purgills.

## Relationships

* **Hera Syndulla:** Thrawn first encountered her in Ryloth. Instantly they became enemies, especially when Thrawn took her kalikori as a trophy. Since then, Hera had considered Thrawn as her arch-enemy. However, he had respect for her.
* **Ezra Bridger: T**hrawn first encountered Ezra on Ryloth and immediately stunner him. From the Grand Admiral's point of view, Ezra is merely a boy and an unworthy opponent, which is what caused him to underestimate Ezra during the liberation of Lothal. Currently, the duo are stranded into parts unknown, presumably relying on each other to survive. Other than Hera, Ezra is the only rebel Thrawn interacted with the most.
* **Sabine Wren**: Thrawn respected Sabine as an artist, admiring her artwork and kept a piece of her artowrk on his ship. However, Sabine cared less of what Thrawn thought of her.

## Behind the Scenes

* Thrawn was originally going to debut in Season One before his appearance was pushed back into Season Three
* In the last episode of *Rebels Recon*, Thrawn and Ezra were revealed to have survived the trip into hyperspace.
