Some old foes have come back to haunt us. <\/p>
Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Mandalorian season 3 episode 3.<\/strong><\/p>\n In The Mandalorian<\/a> season 3 episode 3, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal)<\/a> and Grogu<\/a> took a backseat, while members of Moff Gideon\u2019s<\/a> (Giancarlo Esposito) crew returned.<\/p>\n The latest instalment, titled The Convert, saw the comeback of Dr Penn Pershing<\/a> (Omid Abtahi) and a character we\u2019ve only just been introduced to by name but many will recognise from previous episodes \u2014 Elia Kane (Katy M O\u2019Brian).<\/p>\n It was an eventful episode, with Djarin and Bo-Katan Kryze<\/a> (Katee Sackhoff) returning to their fellow Mandalorians<\/a>, Pershing explaining his research, and Kane proving to be quite the slippery character.<\/p>\n It\u2019s clear the pair will have a bigger role to play in the remainder of the season as we await the return of the villainous Gideon (who, according to episode 3, has either escaped en route to the war tribunal or had his mind wiped by a mind flayer).<\/p>\n Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Elia Kane and actress O\u2019Brian.<\/p>\n Kane was previously only known as one of the communications officers on board Gideon\u2019s ship.<\/p>\n She often brought news to Gideon, and provided the reveal that a tracker had been placed on the Razor Crest as part of his mission to kidnap Grogu.<\/p>\n Kane was also the one to tell Gideon that his dark troopers were ready to capture Grogu in season 2. At the time, she and Pershing were aware of each other, but didn\u2019t have any major contact.<\/p> However, in season 3 episode 3, Pershing recognises Kane as he\u2019s introduced into the amnesty programme. She says she tries not to think about Gideon anymore and that she\u2019s happy to contribute to the New Republic.<\/p>\n Throughout the episode, Pershing and Kane grow closer and she ultimately convinces him to continue his research, with the pair straying behind their perimeter to track down a mobile lab.<\/p> Who is Elia Kane in The Mandalorian?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
