Palpatine, after his battle with Mace Windu.
Sheev Palpatine, also known as "Darth Sidious" or simply "The Emperor", is a Sith Lord and the evil ruler of the tyrannical Galactic Empire. Palpatine is responsible for initiating the Clone War, Order 66, which killed most of the Jedi, and converting Anakin Skywalker to the Dark Side as "Darth Vader" with the promise to teach him powers to keep Anakin's wife Padme Amidala from dying in childbirth.
Palpatine later attempts to convert Vader's son Luke to the Dark Side to replace his father as his apprentice, but Luke refuses and proclaims himself a Jedi like his father as he senses the internal conflict within Vader to be good again. Palpatine electrocutes Luke with Force Lightning out of anger and nearly kills him until Vader grabs Palpatine and hurls him down a reactor shaft, killing him and, in turn, redeeming himself due to the love for his son.

"How about I 'bid-thee' to stop ramming the ship into fucking asteroid fields! Can you handle that?" - A frustrated Palpatine to Darth Vader.
Palpatine was mostly a manipulative, self-centered, cynical, sarcastic psychopath who was always willing to play part in politics. He almost never accept defeat and would always be thrown into anger from such failures. An example of this is when Darth Vader failed to protect the Death Star in the skit "The Emperor's Phone Call". Palpatine also showed frustration whenever something bad would happen to him, such as losing his suitcase on his trip to the second Death Star or having burning coffee being spilled on his lap.
Palpatine had a lack of confidence in his apprentice, Darth Vader, whenever it came to hunting down the Millennium Falcon or stopping the Rebellion, even going so far as to hire bounty hunters to do the job that his apprentice couldn't.
