My Imperial Agent - Elennye Trizz

Of all the characters in my Moonrise Legacy, Elennye is the only one who can be truly said to be loyal to the Empire, rather than any personal goals or higher ideals. And while her preferred methods of information retrieval and extraction avoid needless violence, she has utterly no qualms about committing atrocities in the name of the Empire, if that is what must be done. She's isn't upset by the Empire's placement of Castellan restraints on her either - rather, her desire to remove said conditioning stems solely from the fact that it compromises her as an Imperial asset. It's an odd position for her, to be certain - as one of two aliens working in Imperial Intelligence before it's dissolution and reconstitution as Sith Intelligence, one might wonder what the cause of her loyalty is.

And the answer to that is quite simple, really. It was the Empire that took her in after the repeated clashing between sects of fanatical Sith and Jedi some years prior to the Treaty of Coruscant killed her parents, the both of them caught in an explosion caused by a shot-down Jedi spacecraft impacting the planet's surface. However, more to the point, she was not taken in by the Empire as a slave; rather, she was enlisted as a potential asset. Keeper will never admit to being the one who found her - but find her he did, busy carefully manipulating two minor crime syndicates into all-out gang warfare in the streets of Nar Shaddaa through blackmail, expert slicing, and the use of several different vocal distorters to make her sound far older than the nine-years old that she was.

He saw her potential for subterfuge immediately, and with the promise of food, clothing, shelter, and the opportunity for upward advancement, Elennye eagerly followed him to one of many Imperial Academies for up-and-coming young officers. And due to Keeper's careful watch over her - and her own abilities with subtle intimidation - she found herself more than capable of retaliating against any prejudiced peers or superiors, up until she was snatched up by Intelligence upon her graduation from school.

However, while Elennye is unswervingly loyal to the Empire, she harbors an intense distrust and dislike of any Sith and Jedi she comes across - at least until they prove themselves to be a non-self-centered pragmatist. Darth Jadus only worsens her impression of Force-sensitives as a whole, and so when the Black Codex finally falls into her possession, rather than give it to the Sith and Dark Council, she takes it for herself, erases her identity, and assumes command of the remnants of the Star Cabal. She operates as a freelance information broker from then on - officially unaffiliated with the Empire but often offering her services to them unprompted.

Elennye's personality - when discernible beneath her layers upon layers of masks - is cool and dry, and she only rarely cracks a joke or allows herself to be foolish without it being part of a cover story. She takes 'serious' to an extreme, and flippant remarks often irritate her - but her practical nature and genuine concern for the success and wellbeing of her colleagues means that she's uniquely skilled at giving advice and will take even the smallest dilemma seriously. Her downtime - rare though it is - is usually spent reading or writing, and she has several articles on culture and psychology published under a penname in a few of the Empire's more prominent scholarly journals. She's also a mean shot at darts and most casino games, though she'd never admit to enjoying them.
