Behind the scenes, though, she was an enforcer for Rael’s spy operation, a messenger, and an emissary.
She first appeared in the fourth episode of the first season.
Her character surprised fans who initially assumed she was just another assistant. However, Kleya reveals herself to be cunning, ruthless and trusted by Luthen.
Some fans believe she may actually be Princess Leia as Luthen seems to take direction from her, and fake names seem to be an intricate part of the show.
The red hood and cape she wears in episode seven are also very similar to the one young Leia sports in the Obi-Wan series.
