Butcher of Brix

The Butcher of Brix was an insectoid warlord associated with Brix that found himself far from home on the planet Daiyu during the reign of the Galactic Empire in 9 BBY. The Butcher stood with two humans in one of Daiyu's streets when the spice dealer Tetha Grig offered spice to the Jedi-in-hiding Obi-Wan Kenobi nearby.

In 34 ABY, the Butcher of Brix was a patron of the Canto Casino in the city of Canto Bight on the planet Cantonica. The warlord was stood at one of the casino's gambling tables beside an alien in a white dress when the Resistance agents Finn, Rose Tico, and BB-8 entered the establishment while searching for the Master Codebreaker. The Butcher was then stood by a different table with fellow patron Snook Uccorfay when the drunken patron Dobbu Scay accosted BB-8.

The Butcher of Brix had black, chitinous skin with a white-fronted torso that had a red strip down the middle. He had four red eyes and spider-like mandibles. Both it/its and he/him pronouns were used for the Butcher.

While on Daiyu, the warlord wore a black cape.

The Butcher of Brix was a fully animatronic character created for the 2017 sequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi. Concept art of the character titled "King 11" was created by creature concept designer Ivan Manzella. In early drafts for the film, the character known as the Master Codebreaker revealed to the Resistance agents Finn and Rose Tico that he had been casing the Butcher of Brix for over a year and was planning to steal the blood jewels that financed the insectoid warlord's murderous regime.

Although the character's name did not appear in the final release of the film, its use in the early drafts was revealed in the reference book The Art of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which was written by Phil Szostak and released alongside the film. It was then used to refer to the character in the non-canon Star Wars Sequel Skin Pack for the video game Minecraft, which was released on March 27, 2018. A card in the 2023 Topps Disney Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi set released by The Topps Company, Inc. in 2023 then canonically used the name, identifying a character that had appeared in the second episode of the Obi-Wan Kenobi television series, on May 27, 2022, as also being the Butcher.
