General Armitage Hux

Warning: Spoilers may follow.

General Hux is the military leader of The First Order, as well as the main antagonist of the 2015 space-opera film, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. He is Finn, Kylo Ren and Captain Phasma's former boss and mentor, and the leader of his stormtroopers. He took the stormtroopers as kids, thus trying to convert them to darkness. He is also Supreme Leader Snoke's co-conspirator, and the son of a sith member.

He is portrayed by Domhnall Gleeson.

Information
A young, ruthless officer in the First Order, General Hux has complete confidence in his troops, training methods and weapons. Hux is commander of the First Order's primary facility, Starkiller Base. Unlike Kylo Ren, who is a delusional anti-villain, Hux is characterized as being more overtly evil.

Appearance
Hux appears in a uniform with a dark cloak, reminiscent of an Imperial military uniform. Hux is a human male with red hair and a slender body.

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 money. He seems to be bitter to his minions, as he screams at the stormtroopers and takes control of every action on theirs by force. He seems to have trained Kylo Ren ruthlessly and strictly, without even considering his plans to support. Egoistic as he is, his methods to rule the universe and destroy any goodness are ontop of all, and he has no remorse to anyone. Even to his ally Supreme Leader Snoke, he is extremly manipulative and advanced as he uses his "green lights" to do what he wants, even brainwashing him into destroying the republic and using him as a vessel to convert the world to darkness. He was willing to kill billions of people, murdering children and babies, and vandalizing their homes, just in order to achieve his goals.

Background
He stole Finn, Kylo Ren and many other children from their houses, attempting to use them and force them to rebuild by empire, thus having full control on them through computers. However, plotting to use Kylo Ren as a weapon, he rebuilt the empire with a mega-weapon inside it. That mega weapon converted fire from the sun to other planets. Using Supreme Leader Snoke as his evil vessel, nothing could stop him.

The search for the droid
At first, Hux tried to kill Finn and Po who were escaping. When finding out their ship has crashlanded in Jakku, he sent spies to follow them. Kylo Ren told him to show him the locations of Luke through the map. However, Hux disagreed, reminding his high rank amongst Snoke. Informing Supreme Leader Snoke that the weapon is almost ready, so he can finnish plans and find R2 D2, he has proven to him that Ren is no use at all. Snoke asked him to oversee preparations, and gave him a green light on his evil scheme. Hux leaves the room, while Ren stays. Though Hux convinces Snoke that Ren is no use, Ren manages to tell Snoke about the disturbance called the resistance.

The rage of General Hux


Hux then introduced his weapon to his stormtroopers, while he had auditors controling his stormtroopers and his mega-weapon. Hux stated it will be the end of a regime which aqquiaces to disorder made by the "loathsome Resistance".

His auditors fired the weapon, as ordered by him, on the Hosnian System, as the weapon of Hux's has destroyed billions of people.

Hux got Kylo Ren and some stormtroopers to find the location of the Resistance Base.

When Hux got information, he stated that Kylo Ren admitted the droid is no use anymore on his report, and that the scheme he made up will destroy them before they reach Luke Skywalker. Snoke agreed, but told Kylo Ren to bring Rey to him, so he can handle her.

The Collapse of Starkiller Base
After that, he prepared the machine on conditions of a 15 minute load and supreme strike. However, the resistance planned to deactivate all generators, in order to destroy Starkiller Base. Hux tried to shoot them, however, he has missed them all. Hux prepared for retreat, and plotted with Snoke to take Kylo Ren with him, so they can complete his training, and use him as a factor for rampage and control.
