Elrik Vonreg

Elrik Vonreg was a human male First Order TIE Fighter Pilot. During the era of the New Republic, Vonreg held the military rank of Major in the armed forces of the First Order. A skilled starfighter pilot, he fought a Republic squadron of T-85 X-wing starfighters as well as a Resistance T-70 X-wing starfighter piloted by Commander Poe Dameron.

Despite his efforts, however, Major Vonreg was forced to break off his attack and return to Starkiller Base. As a result, the Resistance discovered that the First Order was operating in secret on the Outer Rim planet Castilon and, therefore, dispatched a spy, Kazuda Xiono to investigate.

Biography
Major Elrik Vonreg was a ranking officer and TIE fighter pilot in the armed forces of the First Order. Utilizing his own personal TIE Interceptor, Vonreg engaged a squadron of New Republic T-85 X-wing starfighters at one point in the waning months of the cold war. The New Republic pilots acquired critical information pertaining to the First Order's operations in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories and had been instructed by New Republic Command to deliver the intelligence to the Resistance. Vonreg, who attempted to thwart their mission, drove off two of the pilots, Mia Gabon and Hugh Sion, although Kazuda Xiono remained behind to await the Resistance's arrival at the rendezvous point.

With the arrival of Commander Poe Dameron, Vonreg was forced to break off his attack on Xiono and engage the Resistance pilot in a dogfight. However, he was ultimately outmaneuvered by the teamwork of Dameron and Xiono, resulting in damage to his starfighter. As a result, the major retreated into hyperspace, eventually returning to Starkiller Base in the Unknown Regions. In failing to prevent Xiono from completing his mission, the Resistance learned of the First Order's interest in the Colossus, an aircraft refueling station located on the ocean planet Castilon. The Resistance, therefore, recruited Xiono to serve as their spy on the Colossus, hoping to gather more intelligence on the First Order.

Behind the scenes
"Every time we have a villain pilot, we would talk about, well, is this our Red Baron? And finally it's like, let's make one red all out. It seems to fit with the First Order, since they seem to really like that as a color. If the good guys have aces, the villains need them, too."
