List of The Mandalorian characters

The Mandalorian, an American space Western television series set in the Star Wars universe created by Jon Favreau and released on Disney+, features an extensive cast of characters.

The primary villains of the series belong to a remnant of the Galactic Empire, which is led by Moff Gideon and includes such agents as The Client and Penn Pershing.

[10] The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau suggested Pascal watch Akira Kurosawa's samurai films and Eastwood's Spaghetti Westerns as preparation for the role.

[15][16] A remnant of the Galactic Empire led by Moff Gideon is seeking the child to extract its blood for Dr. Pershing's secret experiments; the bounty hunter known as "The Mandalorian" is hired to track Grogu down.

Bo-Katan was impressed by the Mandalorian and invites him to join them, but he must continue his quest, so she tells him to go to the forest planet of Corvus, to find the Jedi Ahsoka Tano.

[51][52] Herzog strongly urged the show's filmmakers to use puppetry for the Child character and not computer-generated imagery, calling them "cowards" for considering using CGI in its place.

Kane helps Pershing find a way to surreptitiously continue his cloning research, but reveals herself to be working for the New Republic and betrays him to the authorities.

[131][129] When the Mandalorian returns to Tatooine in search of another rumored to be there, Peli guides him to Mos Pelgo, where he finds Cobb Vanth with Boba Fett's armor.

Peli is portrayed by actress and comedian Amy Sedaris,[132][133] who had previously worked with The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau on the film Elf (2003).

[134] Sedaris said she enjoyed working with the animatronic Child puppet, which she said made everyone on the set happy: "The minute you looked into Baby Yoda's eyes you just got lost.

[148][149] Fennec Shand is an assassin and mercenary for the galaxy's top crime syndicates,[152][153] who is sought by Toro Calican for his first bounty hunting assignment.

[160][161] This is confirmed in the second-season episode "Chapter 14: The Tragedy" that Fennec Shand is alive, discovered and saved by Boba Fett before her injuries proved fatal.

He was previously an operative in the Imperial Security Bureau, a covert intelligence arm and secret police for the Empire,[164][165] and played a role in past efforts to eliminate the Mandalorians.

Because of the eggs' fragility, they have to travel at "sub-light", and end up crashing on an icy planet to avoid a X-wing fighter patrol who have an arrest warrant for the Mandalorian since he has helped break out Qin from the New Republic transport.

They are nearly killed by a swarm of spider-like Krynka, but are rescued by the X-Wing pilots who let the Mandalorian go with a warning because he assisted in the capture of the others involved in the prison break.

[91][189] The Mythrol returned in the second season episode "Chapter 12: The Siege", where he was released from his carbonite prison to work as a bookkeeper in exchange for a reduced sentence.

The Mythrol was brought along with the Mandalorian, Karga, and Cara Dune during their raid on an Imperial base, where he does things when either threatened to be put back in carbonite or to have his sentence cut in half.

[136] Migs Mayfeld is a former Imperial Army sharpshooter who leads a crew of Ranzar "Ran" Malk's mercenaries in their attempt to rescue Qin from a New Republic prison transport ship.

[227][230] Xi'an is portrayed by Natalia Tena,[227] the only actress who has appeared in Star Wars, Game of Thrones, and the Harry Potter film series.

Although he was forced to work as a slave, he eventually escaped with a box that, unbeknownst to him, contained crystals, which he traded to his Jawa rescuers in exchange for the salvaged Mandalorian armor formerly owned by Boba Fett.

Their stand-off is interrupted by the attack of a Krayt dragon that has been terrorizing Mos Pelgo, and Cobb persuades the Mandalorian to assist him in killing it in exchange for the armor.

Together, they form an unlikely alliance between the townspeople and the Tusken Raiders to eliminate their common enemy, before the Mandalorian comes up with a strategy to use a Bantha as a suicide bomber and have it detonate once the dragon eats it.

Serving undercover as a participant in an amnesty program, she befriends Dr. Pershing and helps him find a way to surreptitiously continue his cloning research.

During the rise of the Galactic Empire, Morgan helped to build the Imperial Fleet and has worked for Grand Admiral Thrawn, and she pillaged different worlds.

[292][295] The two were included on Vulture's list of the show's 15 best cameo appearances from season one, in which writer Jackson McHenry described them as "a delightful pair of goofy villagers".

In "Chapter 12: The Siege", Carson Teva and one of his fellow New Republic Starfighter Corps members visited Nevarro where he asked Greef Karga about the destruction of an Imperial base there.

After Karga confirmed some information, Teva later spoke to Cara Dune, where he states that the New Republic is not sure what is happening in the Outer Rim and they won't be able to get to the bottom of it without local support.

After being bested by Grogu in a match with training darts, Ragnar was abducted by a Shriek-hawk causing Bo-Katan to lead Djarin, Paz, and some other Mandalorians in rescuing him.

Carson Teva later traced R5-D4's signal to the Armorer's Mandalorian group where he persuades them to help save Nevarro from Gorian Shard's pirate crew.

The unnamed warlords are portrayed by Ron Bottitta, Imelda Corcoran, Jonny Coyne, Marco Khan, Jodi Long, and Hemky Madera.
