He can understand and empathize with people, the thing is, he often uses this empathy for his own advantage. If you wanted to put him in such a category, I think he'd be a dark empath.

If you ask old rusty the bartender when a fight is, he'll take you into a back room where you host the greatest fights and all of hemisphere layer 43, perhaps even the whole station.

    He fought giant tiger men in his youth? This cannon feels like too much. I always felt that Tarkin came from a privileged and disconnected family.

I think the Star Wars team missed a trick with this character.

      Effective for the Rebellion, maybe. Tarkin almost single-handedly destroyed the Empire with the Antar 4 Atrocity and Alderaan's destruction.

    From reading the book Tarkin, you can see that he is not really "evil" but authoritarian. He is an enforcer of the rule of law, and the way he does that is through the use of fear to keep those who dare go against it in line. But if you look at it, he is a bit of a bad ass and a tough guy. No doubt he could have beat the guy in a fist fight. His failure was thinking he was invincible as was the Death Star, as he failed to take Vader's advice on the power of the Force.
