## History

***The Great Villains Wiki*** presents a biography for Armitage Hux .

## Personality

General Hux is an evil tyrant who rules with an iron fist. He will attempt to kill anyone to get what he wants: power and control. He seems to be bitter to his minions, as he screams at the Stormtroopers and takes control of every action of theirs by force. Egotistic as he is, his methods for the First Order to rule the galaxy and destroy any goodness are his main priorities, and he has no remorse for his actions.

He is willing to kill billions of people in order to achieve the First Order's goals.

However, in the later periods Hux is shown as a tragic sociopath, whom does his evil and ambitious schemes just to move Kylo Ren out of his way and have him killed. He wants to revenge Kylo for being a better dark lord than he is among The Emperor. He is also shown to be a coward when he surrenders to Ren's force chokes instead of dying.

## Inspiration

General Hux is very much inspired by Adolf Hitler, the ultimate leader of the Nazis. Many people criticize his evil character, as they say he is much of a real life dictator, and ultimately a Nazi. Even Domhnall Gleeson always mentions how evil Hux is, stating that he is a tyrannical brute.

## Trivia

* He is an iconic villain, much like Kylo Ren and Darth Vader.
* His speech about the Republic shares some similarities to a speech of Adolf Hitler, since they are both dictators who receive "hail commander" calls.
* He has a higher body count than Grand Moff Tarkin.
* He starts off as the secondary antagonist of the final movie due to his high ambitions to take over the First Order and usurp Palpatine's throne all in order to gain his personal revenge on Ren. However, Pryde kills him during the first moments of the latter arc of the movie, thus minimizing his role to a temporary minor and yet pivotal character for his influence on the downfall of The First Order.
