Summary
“Flight is not about freedom. It is about control.” – Commander Elias Thane, Starfleet
Commander Elias “Razor” Thane, Starfleet leads the formidable air wing aboard the USS Typhon (NCC-78100) with a reputation for precision, discipline, and relentless intensity. A decorated combat pilot and strategic tactician, Thane’s leadership is defined by razor-sharp focus, an uncompromising standard of excellence, and an instinct for turning even the most chaotic engagements into controlled victories. His call sign, “Razor,” reflects both his precision in the cockpit and his cutting, no-nonsense leadership style.
Appearance
Commander Thane stands at 185 cm (6’1”) with a lean, athletic build sculpted from years of flight training and rigorous physical discipline. His sharp features—chiseled jawline, piercing steel-gray eyes, and closely cropped dark blond hair—give him an intense, commanding presence. A faint scar runs diagonally along his right eyebrow, a remnant from a cockpit crash during a skirmish early in his career.
Personality
Thane embodies the spirit of a warrior-scholar—analytical, calculating, and fiercely driven. He thrives in high-pressure environments where quick decisions mean the difference between life and death. Known for his dry wit and sharp tongue, he’s respected (and sometimes feared) for his brutally honest critiques and refusal to tolerate mediocrity. Despite his tough exterior, Thane is fiercely protective of his pilots, viewing them as family. His loyalty runs deep, though it’s earned through sweat, skill, and sacrifice.
While he projects an air of unflappable confidence, Thane wrestles with an inner restlessness—a relentless drive to be the best and to never repeat the mistakes of his past. His leadership style balances between mentor and taskmaster, forging elite pilots who operate with precision under fire.
