Galactic Senate Phanius Moore

[Nor'baal]

Phanius Moore was a diplomat, philosopher and former intelligence operative during the 'Force Eternal' era. He's best known for his tenure as Senator for Umbara, having served in the post for many years. Before this, he worked as a senior official in his homeworlds Government, with diplomatic, military, and intelligence affairs responsibilities.

Moore developed a reputation as a proponent of realpolitik throughout his career, widely mischaracterized as 'deceitful and unscrupulous acts'. He claimed that his experience of life in the diplomatic field showed him that the world of politics and diplomacy was always one that had been paved with deception, treachery and crime.

Personality & Traits

Phanius Moore was a pragmatic and methodical operator - as was typical for his culture - but was also possessed of a passion and zeal for the progress of the Galactic Senate. Willing to go the extra mile to pursue what he felt was right, Moore was unconcerned with the perception his actions and undertakings garnered from his peers.

He fostered close working relationships with other members of the senate when the occasion called for it and possessed a great degree of skill in 'close doors' negotiations.

While respecting his political opponents, Moore nonetheless enjoyed political games and was ruthless in seeking out and exploiting his opponents' weaknesses. His consistent track record of skullduggery most noticeably led many to distrust him or treat his words with the suspicion they deserved. His predisposition toward skullduggery was an essential part of his culture, in which social advancement was dependent on deception, assassination, and subterfuge.

Moore was a political opportunist, continually seeking ways to turn his colleagues on one another to further his own goals.

A tall man with pale skin and dark, he often wore black suits and robes, with high collars - made out of Umbaran silk. He spoke galactic basic, with a distinct Core accent, and enjoyed the finer things in life, such as good wine and high-end apartments. Moore was sarcastic and possessed of a dry sense of humour.
