Dedra Meero is an ambitious and methodical officer within the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB). In Andor, she exemplifies the cold efficiency of the Empire, rising through the ranks by obsessively pursuing patterns of rebel activity others overlook. Her intelligence and ruthlessness make her a formidable antagonist—one who sees control, not cruelty, as the ultimate order.
