He agrees to help them to obtain the Death Star plans on Scarif, and leads the rest of Saw's henchmen to distract them from Jyn, Cassian and K-2SO, who were infiltrating the Imperial base. After he watches his friend Chirrut die and Bodhi blown up in the ship, he resolves to trust in the Force and rushes the Death Troopers, and is eventually shot several times and killed by a grenade.
