Sheev Beniko

:"Greatness and power are often allied with defeat. It is how civilizations are shaped—some ideas prosper, others die. The quality of the ideas has little to do with the outcome. It is personalities that matter. Pay attention to those around you.”
: ―Armand Isard to a young Sheev Beniko as apart of a session held by the Royal Academy of Theed and the Apprentice Legislature, Circa 21 BBY.
Sheev Beniko was a male Human who served as a prominent official of Imperial Intelligence for a great many years during the Galactic Civil War, assisting in the rule of the Galactic Empire under Madam Director Ysanne Isard herself after the Emperor's death in 4 ABY during the battle of Endor when she had become the de-facto Empress.
== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
: "Humans are naturally purists. We have always resented having to live with other species. That is why we tolerate."
: ―Sheev Beniko
The origins of Sheev Beniko were closely guarded secrets no thanks to his career choice. Born on the Mid-Rim planet of Naboo, thirty years before the battle of Yavin. Belonging to the noble Beniko family, once a strong Imperial house during the old ages of the Galaxy which eventually migrated over to Naboo around the downfall of the Sith Empire. Beniko was raised in the city of Theed, leading to the cultivation of his behavior as being a high class socialite having been mentored by credible politicians to the point where he was granted a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Theed and a position within the Apprentice Legislature. This, in turn granted him a palatial amount of knowledge on governance, politics and bureaucracy. This is where his career choice was defined when Armand Isard visited his academy to give a speech, granting Sheev Beniko some one-to-one time as a scholar, by request of the Head Master.
The Benikos once more flourished when Sheev Palpatine had attained Emperorship under the New Imperial Order, the Galactic Empire. This only lead to Sheev Beniko's utter dedication towards the Imperial ruler, including the Director of Intelligence, who he came to idolize, boasting about how he would one-day be in Imperial Intelligence and able to stand by such a prominent Imperial family to absolutely anyone who would ask him about careers or futures.
Beniko came to become a cold individual, inherited by his idol's behavior and his own parent's influence. Eventually, he came to take his steps to join Imperial Intelligence, fueled by ambition which permitted him to become quite a effective member in the Bureau of Operations. Moving on succeed where others would fail; Surveying people from the hollow voids that others ceased to know about; Striking with the dagger others would be unable to pickup. His ruthless, cold, calculated mind proved to be most desirably in times where terrorists hid among the people.
=== Aboard the ISD Promethean ===
By now (10 BBY), Beniko was a Captain, performing and overseeing Intelligence operations across the Outer Rim aboard his station of the ISD II Promethean of the 61st Fleet. 
=== Aboard the ISSD Lusankya ===
So many years has Imperial Intelligence battled. So quick did the Empire fall. Even those who dominate, as the Emperor did dominate - there is a time like this where one must choose death or exile. For Beniko, this time was 6 ABY after the Galactic Empire lost Coruscant entirely. Here, he was able to plot and communicate with the many entities of the Empire while engaging in projects formed by orders of the Director. Eventually, a month or so before the capture of the Lusankya and the death of Ysanne Isard, he made way to the unknown regions to contact an individual who claimed to be a former Grand Admiral.

//TO BE ADDED// 
==Personality & Traits==
Beniko possesses a keen mind with a preference for analyzing a problem rather than simply charging in head-on. While carrying themselves as a patriot, caring for the Galaxy's true Order rather than achieving titles and satisfying their own goals as priority. Despite all this, Beniko is able to make hard decisions via the use of pragmatism, ideologies and logic in combined efforts. His calm outward demeanor was also contrasted by his prowess in combat.
