(I just wanted some decent, no-nonsense!Hux Sr....but this is what came out.)
Pre/Divergent or Post-TFA: After Kylo Ren sees the Light/falls in love and takes Hux with him or whatever, the FO is in chaos because their lead commanders under Snoke are AWOL, while the Finalizer crew— General Hux's most professional and loyal— are all: "Why didn't he bring us along?" and "Damn you, Kylo."
Naturally the only person capable of understanding/implementing what Hux left behind is Commandant Brendol Hux...and he is beginning to seriously regret accepting the offer.
+ indignant!Finalizer crew gets equally indignant!Commandant Hux + Brendol Hux is a good substitute but not a good enough replacement—how the hell did his son manage to get all these *gestures at everything* in working order?! ++ meeting Snoke 'face to face' for the first time and suddenly understanding where Hux's headaches/drunken holo-rants/defection is coming from ++ considering dragging Hux (and Kylo) back by the ears because how does he put up with Snoke/Kylo's replacement Ren's Force-nonsense and lack strategic/rational thinking (aka the TFA thing) +++ ex-General Hux gets the news and wonders how the Finalizer/dad is doing
