FINAL PERSONNEL ASSESSMENTReport Lead: Inquisitor Lictor
The Sith Empire's Saaraishash first noticed the existence of Gordon when he was found to be importing a sizable amount of rare and expensive metallic elements. A deeper look indicated that Gordon had been purchasing large and regular quantities of raw resources: the legal paperwork was pristine and up to regulation, but they suspected a possible criminal motivation due to the immense amount of expenditures matched with absolutely zero income. Financial records indicated that he was an extremely wealthy individual, and the Saaraishash was surprised as they were constantly monitoring the financial elite and detailedly knew each one. An anomaly.
Inquisitors quickly discovered their first glimpses of Gordon's appearance and were shocked to see his extensive and sophisticated cybernetic enhancements. Nearly all of his body was artificial, replaced with servomotors and machines, leaving only his nervous system intact. He was quite open with displaying his body modifications, most of his appearance comprising of a revealed skeletal frame made of an ostentatious aurodium alloy. Fair synthskin haphazardly covered parts of his body that was occasionally tattooed or scarred, which seemed ambiguously between a painful reminder or aesthetic appeal. His most human features were his face, sporting short platinum blond hair and with a mostly normal appearing left dark red eye that was surrounded in synthflesh. A long scar ran across this eye, which was paired with a black photoreceptor that emitted bright red.
He seemed to have treated his synthskin as apart of his fashion and attire, occasionally removing and filling skin in other places. This was most prevalent with his hands, either exposing his ghastly skeletal gold digits or completely covering them in soft synthflesh. When he was wearing formal attire, he almost always covered his hands in synthflesh: his fingers would be adorned with large and heavy rings and his wrist would sport an expensive chronometer that complemented whatever he was wearing. His fashion could best be described as avant-garde and luxurious, unafraid to wear bold colors or dark, flashy clothing.
His attire evolved to strictly be the standard naval uniform as soon as he was recruited to the Naval Academy, which was surprising to the instructors who had known his past and expected a higher degree of non-conformity. He did have a peculiar interest in military hardware of all the branches of military, often seen carrying and tinkering with them with a mildly curious, yet most bored expression. Well, emotions were hard to read off his cold, metallic skull but the number of sighs and eyerolls would dramatically decrease if he was working with technology.
His instructors at the Naval Academy and Inquisitors constructed a complete personal profile comprised of the following characteristics of strengths and weaknesses to highlight his strategic value and uses for the Sith Empire:
- Enlightened Technocrat
Gordon possesses inhuman intelligence and a mad obsession with the advancement of technology. He meticulously controls and engineers every step of production, from raw resource refinement and processing to component and hardware fabrication to final assembly. Whatever he produces is the best of the best, and he has particularly keen expertise in cybernetics, droids, and electronics.- Probabilistic Precognition
With enhanced memory databanks, Gordon can memorize and perfectly recall information as well as a plethora of tactics and strategies. Alongside his latent talent for Force precognition, he is a powerful asset that is able to quickly determine the best courses of action by predicting and calculating enemy movements and maneuvers.- Mechanical Immortal
Long past the limitations of organic beings that require regular sleep, food, and water, Gordon has achieved faux immortality as long as core components are not destroyed. Grievous and debilitating wounds for normal creatures can simply be repaired and replaced with new parts. On the other hand, while preparations and defenses are in place for minimizing the risks and potential damage to prevent instant-death, he is vulnerable to EMPs.- Polluted Soul
Masters of the Force have revealed that his presence in the Force has been corrupted with the dark side, perhaps due to the extreme transformation of his flesh into machine. This has led to a weakness toward Light-based attacks along with a subtle transformation of his already cold and calculating personality into a more insidious and wrathful nature.- Highly Experimental
Scientists have tried to understand the concepts and ideas behind Gordon's technology but they have made absolutely no progress. Gordon is absolutely uninterested in assisting in their endeavors, but Masters of the Force theorized that his technology is the result of his own self-realized form of mechu-deru. Untested and unchartered technology, there are specific challenges and problems that arise, often at ill opportune moments.

IMPERIAL SERVICE
Gordon's background is blank but a few Masters of the Force were able to glean a few details.
His nameless planet was glassed for whatever meaningless reason the powers of the galaxy decided: to deprive the enemy of the same lands, to demolish the morale of its citizens, for a meaningless display of power, or some other reason that pointlessly try to justify the destruction of a planet. By strings of fate pulled by the Force or by extremely slim probability, Gordon was the only survivor. Perhaps the sea of extreme anguish and subsequent influx of darkness bestowed Gordon his abilities with the Force, perhaps the Force pitied him and wanted to give it a smattering of hope and potential. He was not particularly interested in debating or investigating a meaningless phenomenon but it granted him the innate ability to connect with matter. To manipulate it with his meager will and with it, he lived his first ten years half-starved, drawing upon the entropic energies around him to fuel his existence.
Desiccated Infant
He eventually gained a better grasp of his abilities to gather enough energy to begin crawling instead of slowly withering in place. By then, his body remained in its infantile form, deprived of any nutrients or subsistence to grow into anything more. As he crawled, he encountered fragments of relics of life and civilization. A scrap of a scared, yet loving family's home that instantly exploded into fragments when a supercharged turbolaser vivisected it and impacted deep into the planet's mantle. A grain of inert hypermatter that was once apart of a majestic battlecruiser that spanned thousands of meters, vaporized when a critical strike detonated its hypermatter generator into oblivion. A chunk of ferrocrete that was once one of the building blocks to an enormous ecumenopolis that was fragged into the planet's new crust.
He could sense emotions and traces of sentience that were left in these momentos of the past, and with each piece, he gained a little bit more knowledge. Piece by piece, he scoured the planet for six years, collecting morsels of information, gathering matter, transforming matter, and eventually, constructing his own devices. Starting from a simple machine to drag his pathetic self, his progress exponentially grew as he continued to create and learn. On his sixteenth year of existence, he had constructed a starship hobbled together with components he managed to scavenge or parts he fabricated by himself.
More details of his life become known as his first recorded arrival in the Sith Empire was fifteen months prior to his enrollment at the Sith Empire's Naval Academy. In a shoddily constructed TIE-variant made of scrap, Gordon landed on one of Sith Empire's fringe world colonies and established himself as one of its colonists. His time on the planet was short, acquiring a blank identity with the name Gordon, amassing a small fortune of credits, and refueling his dingy and partially failing ship.
First Ship
Settling in the heart of the Sith Empire, he paid generously for a spacious apartment adjacent to the starport. Then, he started to purchase quantities of common materials like durasteel and various small-scale fabricators and other industrial tools. Eventually, his purchases shifted into only materials, diversifying types including those necessary to fabricate advanced electronic components and buying out more and more of the apartment until he consolidated complete ownership of the building to himself. By the time Inquisitors honed in on his existence and politely stormed the building, its contents were filled with fabricators and industrial tools, as well as numerous ingots of durasteel and other common alloys and metals. Anything rare and valuable were completely nonexistent, and a nonplussed cyborg sitting on the floor, as if he was waiting for them to come in.
While he remained silent about any questions pertaining to his past, Gordon's clean records and status as a child led the Inquisitors at an impasse. For nearly all other cyborgs, there would be a trail of purchase and medical records but for Gordon, there was absolutely nothing. Just a blank profile, stating his origins was a desolate rock on the outskirts of Imperial space and thus, the entire galaxy. They did not bother closely investigating his force sensitivity, avoiding his compulsory initiation into the Sith Cult, and thus chose to forcibly recruit him before adulthood.
He was rigorously tested and matched to the Naval Academy where his high technical expertise and intelligence would be best utilized. While the Academy's instructors tried to torment Gordon as best they could with excessive and harsh requirements and assessments, he passed them all with flying colors, graduating at the top of his class. Unable to break his cold, steely will and emotionless boredom that infuriated them to no end, he became a newly minted officer of the Sith Empire and was shuttled to the frontlines.
F.T.A.
Gordon was stationed as apart of low priority observational outpost on the frontiers of the Sith Empire and on his first day, the organized forces of an internal resistance group had already forced the Sith Empire into a strategic retreat. Met with insurmountable odds as their commanders foolishly missed the retreat order, his CO ordered him to kamikaze his gunboat in a last ditch effort to delay the quickly approaching fleet in an attempt to send out a distress signal to the Sith Empire. He knew that there was absolutely no chance that the Sith Empire would aid them and the commander probably wanted to secure his own escape. So, Gordon refused and surrendered himself immediately, depowering his ship and awaiting to be apprehended.
Upon encountering the resistance group in person, who called themselves the New Imperial Order, they quickly discovered that he was a complete freshie out of the academy and lacked any real history or dedication to the Sith Empire. Offered the choice between joining the cause or being executed, he assented to become an Ensign once again to fuel the cogs of war, now for the opposite side.

Wyvern Heights
Nirauan Highrise
Located in the closest district to the Hand of Thrawn, the seat of power for the New Imperial Order on its capital Nirauan, this is one of the most prized properties available in the Empire.
Spanning eighty floors and twenty four hundred feet above the arboreal world's jungles, the structure has been extensively renovated to highest industrial standards for Gordon's advanced R&D projects under Cygnus Spaceworks.
