Tarkin

Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, often simply referred to as Tarkin, is a tertiary antatonist in Rico's Brigade. The second highest-ranked official in the Galactic Empire (below only Emporer Palpatine and possibly Darth Vader), he is known and feared throughout the galaxy as a brutal, but competent military commander, fanatically loyal to the Empire and it's leader.

Tarkin was a veteran commander of the clone wars who was appointed to be the military's supreme leader by Palpatine after the Republic was reformed into the Empire due to Tarkin's preexisting authoritarian attitudes and hatred of both Jedi and non-humans.

During the fourth year of Rico's Brigade's war with the Empire, Palpatine organized a competition between multiple military commanders, including Tarkin, to retake territory Rico's Brigade had conquered. Tarkin opted to attack Hoth, since it has recently been taken over by Rico's Brigade and would therefore be lightly defended, and because the planet would serve as a good staging area for the rest of his campaign. However, despite initial victories, the clones on the planet soon bogged even Tarkin's above-average Stormtroopers down. Tarkin was later summoned back to Coruscant to deal with the planet's second invasion by Rico's Brigade. Tarkin and the Coruscant Guard tried unsuccesfully to defend one of the key government officer, and Tarkin was shot to death.
