As a mercenary leader and as a commander of the rebellion, Kelik acts as the strategist and formulates plans to give his side all the advantage it can get. He is quick to assess the rebellion’s options in approaching a fortified position, and directs his mercenaries on covert operations to disrupt Magnian forces before he even joins the rebellion. He also plays a key role in the actual battles, though troop leadership and morale is left to Anakin and Siegfried.
