In the present, she is an Imperial Inquisitor who hunts down surviving Jedi and Force-sensitive beings for the Empire. In the game, she hunts down the main protagonist, Cal Kestis, a fugitive Jedi and a survivor of Order 66, as well as a holocron which contains a list with all the Force-sensitive children in the whole galaxy.

Her Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Her Heinous?[]
- In her very first appearance, she gathers a random group of workers and threatens that if none of them admits they are a fugitive Jedi, she would perform a summary execution on all of them while her men prepare their weapons to shoot them down. The only reason why she doesn't go through with it is because later Cal attacks her and reveals himself, but she would have done it otherwise.
- When Prauf, one of the workers from the group and a friend to Cal, speaks up against the Empire, Trilla fatally stabs him through the chest to make an example of him which causes Cal to attack her.
- She chases and tries to kill or capture the fleeing Cal. During their fight she mocks him and asks him if the Jedi Master who has given their life to protect Cal is someone, she has killed which shows that she is a prolific Jedi hunter and her trying to kill Cal in the present establishes a pattern.
- When Cere Junda appears with her ship to save Cal, Trilla tries to kill her along with Cal even though Cere is Trilla's former Jedi Master.
- After Trilla learns that Eno Cordova has created a Holocron which contains a list with all the Force-sensitive children in the entire galaxy, she relentlessly tries to find it and deliver it to her superiors even though she knows the children on the list would be hunted down and either killed or brutally tortured until they succumb to the Dark Side and join the Empire. In the Databank of the game, it's mentioned that the list inside Cordova's holocron is essentially a copy of a list from the Jedi Archives which contains all known Force-sensitive children in the entire galaxy. In The Clone Wars animated series which is also part of Canon Star Wars like the video game, there are three episodes in which Cad Bane aims to acquire a list with all the known Force-sensitive children which is essentially the same list as the one Trilla tries to acquire because they both contain all known Force-sensitive children. Mace Windu says in the animated series that there are thousands of children on that list which means that Trilla is willing to condemn thousands of children across the galaxy to be turned into Imperial agents through torture and being used for Imperial projects like Project Harvester, an Inquisitorial project started by Palpatine which oversaw the indoctrination of Force-sensitive infants to the Dark Side after they are kidnapped from their families through things like physical, psychological and mental torments. During one of her encounters with Cal, she even taunts him that his pride has cost him the lives of all the Force-sensitive children on the list and Cal himself receives Force visions which show his fear of what would happen if the holocron is found where Trilla personally leads Stormtroopers, kills some of the kids Cal had been training, captures one youngling who gets tortured to be turned to the Dark Side.
- In the comic book series Jedi Fallen Order - Dark Temple, Trilla goes to the planet Ontotho to investigate rumors about Jedi. She kills many of the local Fylari warriors and uses brief torture on their leader, Neralli, before killing her as well.
- In the same comic book she and her men destroy a small Fylari village for standing on her way to a temple she wanted to investigate, killing all the people there.
- She and the Ninth Sister go to Kashyyyk and kill a lot of rebels who were trying to save Kashyyyk's population from slavery to the Empire. She personally Force-chokes at least one fighter and leads assaults against them which kills even more, nearly wiping them out.
- During the final battle, even after Cal expresses sympathy for Trilla and tells her to let go of her hate after learning how she had been tortured by the Empire and forced to join their ranks against her will, Trilla still tries to kill him and keep the holocron saying she is stronger because of the pain she had endured.
- While Star Wars has a high heinous standard and there are other characters who have done worse than Trilla, she has fairly low resources as an Imperial Inquisitor (compared to Cad Bane who is a bounty hunter) and her crime of trying to reveal the locations of all Force-sensitive children to the Empire despite clearly knowing that they would be tortured and abused to make Dark Side servants for Palpatine out of them makes her unique enough and allows her to stand out.
What Makes Her Inconsistent?[]
- She has a very tragic backstory. As a young Padawan, she was forced to live through Order 66 with the Clones turning against her and her Master, Cere Junda and trying to kill them. Then, her Master gets captured by the Empire and reveals Trilla's location. The Clones capture Trilla and either kill or capture the younglings Trilla had been protecting. They subject Trilla to brutal torments for an extended period of time to force her to join the Empire and accept a position as an Imperial Inquisitor which she does both because of the torment and because she feels betrayed by her Master. When her Master sees that Trilla has joined the Dark Side and has become an Inquisitor, she gets desperate and uses the Dark Side herself to escape, but leaves her Padawan behind which further adds to Trilla's feelings of betrayal. During her time as an Inquisitor, she is subjected to brutal training from Darth Vader and the Grand Inquisotor which is designed to strip her of any remaining empathy.
- The torture inflicted on her by the Empire is so heartbreaking that when Cal Kestis witnesses it in a flashback, he feels immense pity for Trilla and starts to understand that she is a victim of the Empire even though she had killed his friend Prauf. During the final battle between him and Trilla, he even tells her that he had witnessed the suffering she had endured and encourages her that it's not too late for her to abandon the Dark Side.
- In a flashback she is shown to be protecting a group of younglings from the approaching Storm Troopers and even comforts one of the children, but fails in her task. Even after she joins the Empire, this redeeming quality is not explicitly subverted because when Cal Kestis states to her that he wouldn't allow anyone to harm the children whose names are on the holocron, Trilla walks away, saying that she thought the same thing once which implies she still feels bad about failing to protect the younglings entrusted to her.
- She cares about her Master, Cere Junda, and a flashback shows her begging her Master not to leave her alone. After Cere reveals Trilla's location to the Empire and then abandons her while escaping, Trilla grows to hate her Master and even tries to kill her on one occasion, but in her final moments, after she is defeated by Cal, she forgives Cere after the latter sincerely apologizes to Trilla.
- She redeems herself in her final moments as she forgives Cere, finds peace and asks her former Master to avenge her and the other the Jedi for what the Empire has done to them once she realizes that Vader is approaching and is about to kill her.
- Her death at the hands of her superior, Darth Vader, for her failure is played for sympathy. She is shown to be utterly terrified of him as he is slowly approaching her and him killing her deprives her of her chance to join Cal Kestis and Cere Junda and make amends for her past actions as an Inquisitor. This, along with her extremely tragic backstory and the fact she was forced to become an Imperial Inquisitor against her will and is not something she willingly chose ultimately makes her a Scapegoat.
