ORIGIN & IDEOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT
Ellis Thanas was raised on Bakura amid the long shadow of political martyrdom, insurrectionist myth, and the lingering poison of failed republican idealism. From early childhood, his education was shaped deliberately away from Bakura's traditional aversion to centralized authority and redirected toward Imperial orthodoxy.
Records indicate targeted ideological cultivation beginning at age seven through offworld academies sympathetic to Imperial doctrine. The subject demonstrated an unusual fixation on order, hierarchy, and historical inevitability, particularly the belief that galactic peace can only exist when enforced by superior will.
Unlike many Wild Space candidates, Thanas actively sought Imperial alignment. He petitioned for inclusion in youth preparatory programs normally closed to Bakuran citizens, securing endorsements from Imperial loyalists within Bakura's industrial guilds and offworld governors familiar with the Captison name. His candidacy file includes no fewer than thirty-four separate letters of recommendation, an unprecedented volume for a Wild Space entrant.
The subject views the failures of his ancestors not as moral warnings, but as proof that restraint, compromise, and sentiment are weaknesses. He does not repudiate their legacy. He intends to correct it.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
Personality Classification: Ascetic Dominant Idealist
Ellis Thanas presents as restrained, severe, and inwardly intense. He speaks little, listens closely, and chooses words with surgical precision. There is an almost monastic quality to his demeanor, paired with a sharp, youthful edge that emerges in moments of conflict.
He possesses a pronounced belief in destiny shaped by strength. To Thanas, loyalty is not emotional but absolute. Mercy is not kindness, but inefficiency. He does not relish cruelty, but he does not flinch from it when doctrine demands.
His command style favors proximity. He leads from the front, often advancing alongside his troopers rather than directing from rear positions. This has already fostered fierce loyalty within the 29th Kalkite, whose members report an unspoken expectation to perform flawlessly simply because failure would feel like betrayal.
Subject shows no detectable hesitation toward Operation CINDER doctrine. He accepts annihilation as a legitimate instrument of peace.
IDEOLOGICAL ALIGNMENT
Assessment: FANATICALLY LOYAL
Thanas exhibits full internalization of Imperial Truth doctrine and Church of the Dark Side messaging, though he is not outwardly religious. His belief is intellectual rather than devotional. The Empire, in his view, is not merely rightful. It is inevitable.
He believes the galaxy does not require hope. It requires obedience.
STRATEGIC VALUE ASSESSMENT
Ellis Thanas represents a rare convergence of noble lineage, Wild Space resilience, and total ideological compliance. His ancestry grants him symbolic utility in pacification campaigns involving former Bakuran or Core-aligned populations. His youth makes him adaptable. His temperament makes him dangerous.
Projected advancement within the Stormtrooper Corps is highly favorable. Shadow Trooper command compatibility rated above standard.
