Has Enoch Appeared Before in Star Wars?
Captain Enoch, whom we see attending to Thrawn in Ahsoka Episode 6, hasn't appeared in Star Wars ever before.
Of course, since we have only ever been seen masked, in Ahsoka we can assume that he was somewhere in the background during Star Wars Rebels, a show that Ahsoka references often.
Moreover, he is stranded alongside Thrawn in another galaxy, so he certainly was with the Admiral and his fleet when the Purrgil carried him away.
Who Is Captain Enoch? Here's What We Know So Far!
Little is known about Captain Enoch other than the fact that he is currently acting as Grand Admiral Thrawn's right hand.
It seems that Enoch is helping Thrawn manage an army of weathered stormtroopers.
His appearance is quite similar to that of most troopers' but different enough to feel unique and somewhat menacing as some parts have been altered.
Enoch has a more detailed and realistic helmet with a golden mask that resembles the form of a human face.
Gold also adorns the shoulders and parts of the torso and waist of Enoch's armor.
His stormtrooper attire was likely altered to signify his high rank.
The Captain's name evokes a biblical figure of the same name, who remained faithful at a time when other people would turn away from God.
It remains to be seen if Enoch will be similarly loyal to Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Who Plays Captain Enoch?
Captain Enoch is portrayed by Wes Chatham; his golden mask makes it hard to tell!
The 44-year-old actor has also appeared in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2.
What Will Enoch's Role Be in Ahsoka?
Right now, we don't know enough about Enoch to predict what he is going to do next.
However, since he's a named character with a distinct appearance, we expect at least one or two important scenes with him in Ahsoka's next episodes.
We expect a final conflict in which Ezra Bridger, Sabine Wren, and Ahsoka Tano will have to fight against Thrawn's forces to return to their galaxy.
If such a battle were to take place, Captain Enoch could play an important role. He does seem pretty unsettling!
