He is a traitor to not only the Empire, but to his family. Although he believes what he is doing is morally right, Thanner continues to struggle with this notion of betrayal and he is haunted by the missions he’s carried out in service to the Empire. He past also makes it hard for others within the Rebellion to fully trust him. Thanner can’t blame them. [/indent] [b]History:[/b] [indent]Thanner was born into a wealthy and respected family on the planet Alderaan. His father, Commander Calder Antares, served in the Republic government and has since gone on to become a highly ranked and very well regarded Imperial officer, a true loyalist to the Emperor’s cause. To Thanner’s father, legacy is of the utmost importance, and he instilled in his son a strong respect for authority. During his teenaged years, Thanner met and fell in love with an idyllic young woman named Rashira. Rashira did not share the same views as Thanner with regards to the Empire, but he still greatly admired her spirit. Unfortunately, politics would soon come between them, and Rashira left Alderaan. At the age of 18, Thanner was intent on following in his father’s footsteps. He would attend the Imperial academy on a full scholarship and soon became an Imperial officer in his own right. Thanner learned quickly how to present himself in order to rise the ranks of the Empire. His noble bloodline, combined with his ability to manipulate his fellow officers allowed him to ascend quite quickly. Imperial Intelligence soon took a great interest in the young Antares, noticing his uncanny ability to know exactly what to say at any given moment. He was recruited as an agent of the Empire, carrying out secret missions at the highest level of discretion. The Rebel movement was growing across the galaxy and Thanner was exactly what the agency was looking for, a skilled operative with an undying loyalty to the Empire. The only problem was, Thanner’s loyalty had started to wane. He had seen the atrocities committed by the Empire, especially the ones committed by his own father, and for the first time he questioned his place in the galaxy. Thanner specialized in anti-Rebel operations, detecting and eliminating Rebel sympathizers or spies. However, he grew to resent his actions over time, and he would become the very thing he swore to destroy. He became a double agent, selling Imperial secrets to the Rebel cause. His contact within the Rebellion was none other than his lost love Rashira, who had grown to become a powerful freedom fighter. Unfortunately, his treason would soon be discovered by Imperial Intelligence, and his family legacy would be disgraced in the eyes of the Empire. In the Empire, the penalty for treason is death, and Thanner’s father was ordered to be his executioner. Commander Antares was forced to chose between his son and his Emperor, and he would chose the latter. Luckily for Thanner, Rashira still considered him to be an asset of great value to the Rebellion and she led a Rebel strike team on a mission to rescue him. During the ensuing escape, a firefight erupted. Rashira was shot and killed by Thanner’s father, a sacrifice that allowed Thanner to escape. Thanner now fights on the side of the Rebellion, still haunted by the sins of his past and by Rashira's sacrifice. [/indent] [b]Yes, and:[/b] [indent]During his time as an Imperial agent, he gathered vital intelligence that aided the Empire in their conquest of the planet Uslam. This has led to some (understandable) hostility from Corporal Jenk Beskad and Corporal Keller "Bits" Vannin, both of whom are natives of Uslam. Coproral Beskad in particular harbors great distrust for Agent Antares, owing not just to Thanner's past alliegiances but because of his personality as well. Beskad is a rugged loud-mouthed miner while Antares is a smooth-talking man of sophistication, born into the highest class of society. [/indent]
