Jax Lerrian was an Imperial Customs inspector, who had held that job for nearly a decade as of the Galactic Civil War. Lerrian believed in the rule of law, and that without firm rules, others would take advantage of a situation. He prided Imperial Customs law as central to knowing exactly what he was supposed to do in the course of his duties. The regulations did give him some amount of discretion, and though he paid lip service to always following the letter of the law, he did allow some minor infractions to slip by with only a warning. However, when someone gave him difficulty or attitude, he would employ the full force of the law, charging that individual with as many infractions as possible.
