    "Long live the Empire."
    ―Barro[2]

    Barro was a human warlord of the fallen Galactic Empire and a member of the Shadow Council for the Imperial Remnant during the New Republic Era, holding the rank of commander and leading his own Imperial remnant from a snowy planet. During a shadow council meeting, Barro acknowledged another warlord's belief that there were loyal citizens of the Galactic Empire on every planet, and stated that he believed that if the Shadow Council gave them a show of strength, these citizens would rally behind them against the New Republic. Later, Barro met with a group of individuals, during which time he chanted the phrase "Long live the Empire." He was later killed by the Mandalorian Din Djarin.

    Biography

    "There are citizens loyal to the Empire on every planet in this galaxy. They are already getting sick of this New Republic and its rules and regulations."
    "And if we give them a show of strength, they will rally behind us."

    Barro attended a meeting of the Shadow Council

    Barro was a warlords of one of the neo-Imperialist remnants of the Galactic Empire and was active in the New Republic Era, holding a seat in the Shadow Council, a group of Imperial officers who secretly coordinated the remnants while concealling their true strength.[3] In 9 ABY,[4] the warlord attended a meeting of the Shadow Council via hologram. During the meeting, a warlord on the council stated their belief that there were citizens loyal to the Empire on every planet in the galaxy and were sick of the New Republic, its rules, and its regulations, to which the warlord responded with their opinion that if they were to perform a show of strength, the loyal citizens would rally behind the Empire once again. Following their statement, Barro watched Captain Gilad Pellaeon as they responded that such strength should not be wasted, before the captain then reminded the council that Grand Admiral Thrawn's planned return would herald in a resurgence of their military and give Commandant Brendol Hux enough time to deliver on Project Necromancer. Later in the meeting, Barro joined his colleagues on the Shadow Council in chanting "Long live the Empire."[3]

    During or after 11 ABY,[1] Barro met in person with a group on individuals at a room guarded by cold weather assault troopers located in a mountainous and snowy location, during which time they once again chanted the phrase "Long live the Empire." Barro decided to raise the tribute money of the six local leaders, which caused alien Prefect Nobah to object since they were already operating at a loss and were plagued by pirates and thieves, which Barro took this as a criticism of his protection and shot Nobah dead with his blaster. Upon learning that the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin was attacking, he quickly gave the other five blaster pistols before leaving in a turbolift. Upon getting a warning from Commander Fremmet, he ordered his two AT-AT pilots fight the Mandalorian while he set the walker to autopilot and activated the explosives. He was killed by Djarin, who shot down his INT-4 Interceptor after hijacking his All Terrain Armored Transport before it was blown up with bombs Barro had planted prior to his failed escape.[2]

    Personality and traits

    Barro was a tan-skinned human with white hair that was graying by the time of the New Republic Era.[2] He was very eager to murder Nobah for refusing to accept Barro's new higher price for continued protection. He is also cowardly, abandoning his snowtroopers and the other crime lords to flee in a turbolift when Din Djarin raided his base.

    Equipment

    Barro wore a dark grey Imperial officer's uniform with a belt and a rank insignia plaque on his breast with two red tiles on the plaque's top row and two blue tiles on the plaque's bottom row. In addition, the warlord wore a black jacket that held tan fur inside.[2] While attending a meeting of the Shadow Council, Barro wore black gloves and a Imperial kepi that both matched his officer's uniform and held an officer's disk.[3] However, during a later in-person meeting, Barro did not wear the gloves and kepi. At times, he wielded an SE-14r light repeating blaster.[2]

    Barro first appeared in "Chapter 23: The Spies," the seventh episode of season three of the Disney+ series Star Wars: The Mandalorian which was released on April 12, 2023.[5] He was portrayed by Hemky Madera.[3]

    1. 1.0 1.1 StarWars  Everything We Know About the Mandalorian and Grogu (So Far) on StarWars.com (backup link) states that Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu takes place after Din Djarin and Din Grogu were pursued for years. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the pair's first meeting to 9 ABY, the film must take place during or after 11 ABY.

    4. Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 16: The Rescue" to 9 ABY. In addition, SWInsider "A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the liberation of Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, the events of "Chapter 23: The Spies" must take place in 9 ABY as well.
