Trudgen was a humanoid male Force-sensitive and one of the Knights of Ren, an elite band of dark-side warriors who served first an individual known as Ren and later Kylo Ren. Untrained in the Force, his abilities were stunted, but he was among the most ferocious of the Knights, renowned for collecting trophies from his victims and for a patchwork helmet taken from a death trooper he had defeated.
Trudgen wielded an enormous vibrocleaver of crucible steel and fought at the Battle of Exegol, where the Knights ambushed the redeemed Ben Solo in the Sith citadel. He was killed by Solo, stabbed through the chest before he could bring his weapon to bear. He appears in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
