OVERVIEW
Personality
Percival Bridger maintains the quiet, restrained manner of someone accustomed to spending more time with machines than people. He is unfailingly polite, painfully precise, and possesses a particular talent for making even simple requests sound as though they have already been approved three levels above whoever happens to be standing in his way.
He rarely raises his voice and seems almost immune to provocation, favoring clipped responses, dry observations, and the patient expression of a man waiting for someone else to finish being inconvenient.
Percival does not cultivate the presence of a grand Intelligence operative. He looks like the unfortunate technician sent because a secure terminal has stopped working.
APPEARANCE
-
STRENGTHS
- Technical Specialist – Experienced with communications systems, electronics, diagnostics, sensors, security infrastructure, computers, and compromised technology.
- Quiet Authority – His rank is high enough that enlisted personnel generally have reason to listen, while remaining junior enough that his name is unlikely to be widely known.
- Systems Access – Technician-03 clearance gives him a legitimate reason to request access to machinery, terminals, maintenance corridors, and protected infrastructure.
- Field Adaptability – Comfortable solving technical problems with whatever equipment happens to be available.
WEAKNESSES
- Junior Officer – Senior personnel may overrule, redirect, reprimand, or order him elsewhere.
- Limited Authority – His influence is strongest when a situation can reasonably be considered an engineering, communications, security, or Intelligence problem.
- Paper Trail – The deeper someone investigates Percival Bridger's life before Mahporeenian service, the greater the possibility of inconsistencies appearing.
- Unassuming – Percival's credentials carry considerably more weight than his physical presence.
LIKES

- People touching equipment while he is working
- Needlessly inaccessible terminals
- Poorly maintained equipment
- Being asked whether he has tried turning it off and on again
- Secure communications
- Systems diagnostics
- Encryption and data recovery
- Surveillance infrastructure
- Sensor analysis
- Electronic security auditing
- Technical intelligence gathering

Background
First Lieutenant Percival Bridger serves within Mahporeenian Intelligence as an Intelligence Systems Specialist attached to Technical Operations.
His work places him somewhere between engineer, analyst, and field operative: the sort of officer dispatched when a secure terminal refuses to cooperate, a communications array begins behaving strangely, or someone needs access to a system they were never meant to touch.
His technical background centers upon secure communications, diagnostics, encrypted networks, surveillance infrastructure, sensor systems, and the recovery or analysis of compromised technology. This frequently places him aboard military vessels and within restricted installations, where his Technician-03 clearance allows him access to systems ordinarily kept beyond the reach of common personnel.
Despite his junior rank, Bridger has developed a reputation for appearing wherever something has gone wrong and quietly inserting himself into the problem until it stops being one.
Percival's Mahporeenian position functions as genuine employment. He may receive assignments, orders, reprimands, responsibilities, and oversight like any other junior officer.
His service history before Mahporeenian employment is considerably less remarkable. The records are sparse, tedious, bureaucratic, and difficult to follow.
Nothing appears important enough to invite casual investigation.

The Bridger Identity
Important enough to be obeyed, junior enough to be overlooked.
Percival begins establishing himself within Mahporeenian Intelligence, balancing the freedom afforded by his technical specialization against the expectations placed upon a genuine junior officer.
His disguise is no longer simply a forged uniform or stolen access card.
Percy has a job now.

Technical Difficulties
Ugh. Intelligence sent IT again.
An Intelligence Systems Specialist has ample reason to appear around terminals, communications systems, sensor arrays, restricted infrastructure, and maintenance access points.
Sometimes the best infiltration strategy is carrying a diagnostic kit and looking annoyed that someone called you.

Operational Reputation
"Ugh. Intelligence sent IT again."
Cover Identity
Spoilers:
Percival Bridger is an undercover identity maintained by Braze.
The identity is designed around a specific balance: important enough to be obeyed when his technical authority applies, but junior enough that most personnel have little reason to wonder why they have never personally encountered First Lieutenant Bridger before.
His position within Mahporeenian Intelligence gives him legitimate responsibilities. Senior officers may issue him orders, assign work, reprimand him for mistakes, or demand explanations for whatever he has been doing to their systems.
His technical specialization provides somewhat more freedom than a conventional line officer. A communications fault, security audit, damaged sensor, network irregularity, suspicious terminal, or malfunctioning piece of infrastructure can all provide a reasonable excuse for Bridger to appear somewhere inconvenient.
-
Percival Bridger is not officially regarded as a dedicated combat specialist.
His personnel profile emphasizes technical operations, Intelligence support, communications, and systems access. He is expected to possess the competence necessary of an Imperial officer, but overt battlefield prowess would work against the deliberately unremarkable nature of the identity.
When possible, Percival has considerably more reason to reach for a terminal than a weapon.

MSE-7N-K "Tink"
Utility / Maintenance Droid
A tiny, heavily modified utility droid assembled from mismatched salvaged components and an aging MSE-series chassis. Tink travels on a pair of miniature tracked units rather than wheels, allowing the little machine to crawl across debris, maintenance passages, loose cabling, and the generally questionable environments Percival tends to work in.
Its programming focuses upon diagnostics, simple repairs, cable tracing, equipment inspection, and carrying small tools or components. Years of modification have left Tink looking considerably less factory-standard than most Imperial equipment, with exposed repairs, replacement plating, and enough improvised upgrades to suggest Percival has been tinkering with it for quite some time.
Tink is small enough to disappear beneath consoles, through service ducts, or directly underfoot at the least convenient possible moment.
