The Client is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise who appears in the first season of the Disney+ television series The Mandalorian. He is a mysterious, unnamed leader in the former Galactic Empire and subordinate of Moff Gideon, who plays a key role in setting the show's story into motion by hiring the bounty hunter known as "The Mandalorian" to retrieve a "50 year old", yet infantile alien dubbed "The Child" (later named as Grogu).
