Sentinel

Sentinel was a human male stormtrooper of the Galactic Empire. As a trooper, Sentinel was the last survivor of three of his regiments. Following the fall of the Empire, Sentinel continued to operate, creating the on-stage persona of someone unwilling to accept defeat. In reality, he had come to hate the Empire and had abandoned it, but used the stormtrooper persona as a way to gain attention amongst the crowds of the Hunters of the Outer Rim; the onlookers found it easy to hate him. Sentinel told J-3DI there were "a million" reasons he had left the Imperial Military, one of which was his hatred of the class-A thermal detonator.

In the Grand Arena, Sentinel was outfitted with an E-Web heavy repeater, which suited his style of long-range attacks, often striking from above. He had dark facial hair and was wont to banter with the other Hunters. His bungalow was situated across from Rieve's, and he at least once visited his teammate's home. Fellow Hunter Grozz, a Wookiee, did not have much fondness for Sentinel given his Imperial past. This wariness was evident both in the arena and backstage. As his Arena persona, Sentinel's closest ally was Dizzy of the team Slingshot.

When goons attacked the arena, intent on destroying it, Sentinel joined his fellow Hunters in fighting off the invaders.

Sentinel is a playable character featured in the 2024 competitive combat game Star Wars: Hunters, published by Zynga and Lucasfilm Games, which had a soft launch in 2021. During the soft launch for Hunters, Sentinel had a costume named "Anvil of the Empire," the description of which read "We will return, stronger than before, and forge this galaxy into something new."

At global launch, Sentinel was the second Hunter unlocked in the Hunter's Path progression. He has three active abilities. His first is the Combat Shield, which an be activated and deactivated and increases weapon firing rate. He also has the , which knocks down an enemy while consuming weapon heat. His third active ability is the Barrel Slam, in which he swings his blaster, knocking back and damaging enemies in close range. Sentinel's Ultimate is Empire's Finest, in which two stormtroopers fly in to follow Sentinel and fire at enemies.
