Star Wars: Rogue One Teaser Breakdown - 25 Things You Need To See

14. Meet Ben Mendelsohn's Grand Admiral

The film's primary antagonist will be played by Australian character actor Ben Mendelsohn, the involvement of whom is a major stamp of quality on Rogue One; he's not the type to do big movies just for the money, instead finding real artistic purpose. Based on what's in the trailer and the odd select rumour, he's probably in charge of the Death Star (he's standing in the control room) and will be the one tasked with dealing with the emergent Rebel threat.

He appears to be a Grand Admiral - high ranking officials in the Imperial Navy who, in the Expanded Universe, are have more authority than Grand Moffs like Tarkin - due to the white suit and loaded rank badge. These characters haven't appeared in the new, Disney canon, but it appears that, like with several other elements of the now-defunct EU, they're is being brought over for the movie.

There's going to be some other, more recognisable villains in the movie, of course, but we'll get to them in a bit.
