Despite regularly appearing on-screen throughout The Force Awakens, either squabbling with Kylo Ren or delivering one of the most excessively passionate speeches in Star Wars history, you probably never clocked that General Hux's full name is never once uttered on-screen.

In fact, his first name of Armitage was only revealed a few months later during the Aftermath: Life Debt novel, with Hux being confirmed as the illegitimate son of Imperial Officer Brendol Hux.
