| - Orphas James was born into a fairly wealthy family who were known for their military history, so from early childhood Orphas practiced with stun weapons and heavy satchels to simulate Republic armour. In his early teens, he was accepted as a Private into the Republic Navy, quickly acclimating to the local troops and learning quite suddenly the basics most people learned over months of constant training. This allowed him to pass his tests with flying colours, and put him in some of the leading groups of fighters sent out as air support for various ground and vehicle groups on various objectives. In this time, he also learned a bit about vehicles, and defusing possible explosives aboard the ship. This would come in handy in the future on operations with the 322nd with explosives present that 'Rook' wasn't there to deal with. He rose up the ranks slowly in the Navy, being slightly cocky about his skill and impressing upon others, over and over, that he was more capable than them for any given job. Most of the time, it was just hot air however. He knew he was a starter, that he wasn't as skilled as the professionals were, but this pushed them to prove him wrong, and in the end, make them better soldiers. Once his superiors realized this odd leadership quality in someone so young, they moved him to the bomb squad of the Coruscant police force to increase his skill in that department, giving him the second-in-command of the team. They were responsible for preserving the Museum of Republic History during the various bomb crises across the city. During his time in the police force, Orphas studied many points of history and technology, specializing in wars the Republic was involved in, giving him a tactical advantage in most long-term situations. This was once again noted, wherein the Republic moved him once more to the military, this time as a ground assault trooper with the rank of Staff Sergeant. At first, he was quiet, timid, attempted to avoid carrying out punishment or taking control of any situation. He preferred to quietly point his inferiors to the correct solution or outcome, and allow them the credit. Over time, though, he became more and more taken advantage of, until eventually he snapped. During a routine operation on Kashyyyk featuring an Imperial segment of forces previously un-noted in Republic intelligence, the forces under his command quickly degenerated, refusing to follow orders and threatening to leave, claiming they 'didn't know.' The minute a trooper stepped on the shuttle to leave, he received a hole in his back, killing him instantly. The squad turned to Orphas, who lowered his rifle slowly, and he spoke quite clearly over his comm. "If I have to repeat this order, I'll gun down the next one my sights lock on to. Then the next. Then the next. You're going to form up into an offensive position, and follow my lead. We're not going to lose any more men to fire, enemy OR friendly. And I swear on the life of the Chancellor, if one of you says another word to me about 'not knowing about this,' I'm going to send your empty armour back to Command, because that's all that will be left of you. MOVE. OUT!"
