Pemmin Brunce, an Ongidae male, served as the security chief for the Canto Casino, situated in the city of Canto Bight on the planet Cantonica.
The Canto Bight Police Department were available to manage significant disruptions, although Brunce and his security personnel were responsible for handling everyday security matters within the casino. To communicate effectively, he and his team utilized silent hand signals. During the Cold War era between the First Order and the Resistance, Brunce noticed Kaljach Sonmi, a former casino worker, inside the establishment and attempted to remove him; however, Dodibin, a Suerton gambler, assisted Sonmi in winning enough cantocoins through a hazard toss wager to satisfy the required minimum for remaining, so Brunce permitted him to stay. Possessing pink skin and gray eyes, Brunce was the only casino employee authorized to frown. He was dressed in black trousers and boots, along with a well-fitted black jacket that concealed a stun baton.
Pemmin Brunce was brought to life for the motion picture Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, which debuted on December 15, 2017; however, prior to the film's release, he made an appearance in the short story "The Ride," penned by John Jackson Miller and included in the Canto Bight anthology, released on December 5, 2017. Cavin Cornwall, a performer specializing in creatures and droids, played Brunce in the film, while Mark Jefferis, a puppeteer, manipulated the character's animatronic facial expressions.
