Dig is a convict aboard a Pluto-bound prison transport who throws in with a violent breakout after a technical failure cracks the ship's security. Rash and hot-blooded, he murders a surviving pilot out of frustration even though the hostage is worth far more alive, a reckless act that leads fellow escapee Udai Taxim to resolve to put him down.
The character is a male criminal, but the series supplies no closer look at him beyond that. What survives of him on screen is his conduct during a single prison-ship uprising rather than any described features.
Dig proves rash and hot-blooded under strain. Rather than exploit a captive who could have served as leverage, he lets frustration get the better of him and lashes out with lethal force, a choice that costs him dearly.

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
