According to Hasbro, this character is known as Vice Admiral Rampart, and it appears he will serve as a villain in future episodes of

A NEW VILLAIN FOR THE BAD BATCH CAST
As a sequel to the popular
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
series which concluded on May the 4th of 2020, there’s been very little revealed about
The Bad Batch
apart from its primary cast of characters and
new addition Omega
.
This is why the reveal of Vice Admiral Rampart came as a surprise, especially since he’s yet to appear on screen.

However, his reveal does confirm that fans can expect a slew of villains in
The Bad Batch
as both Grand Moff Tarkin and Emperor Palpatine has already made an appearance.
It’s possible that since both Tarkin and the Emperor will be busy building the new Galactic Empire, Rampart may be tasked with contending with Clone Force 99 and possibly pursuing any surviving Jedi?

The Bad Batch
will debut on Friday, May 7, 2021.
