Jerrald Nox is a very bad man. He is a younger, more volatile type of villan. He is very determined and narrow-minded. He usually sees things his way, because there is no other way. He is very picky who he hangs around with when it comes to the Empire. Moff Shirkon has a lot to do with Jerrald being a General. Most Imperials figure Jerrald to be way to "excessive" to make an effective General. (Example: He once called a Star Destroyer to a planet's surface to destroy a small 2 bedroom apartment that belonged to an enemy.) He has taken several anger management classes for his short temper, but none seem to have worked so far.
Jerrald Nox's final mission was to attack the planet of Reyslk and take as many citizens into custody as possible. He was fully intent on leaving the planet in ruins. His Star Destroyer was destroyed as it was rammed by Bosk Nabo's stolen Star Destroyer. General Nox died in the crash.
