Na’hir Sanghera

## Director Na'hir Sanghera

Na’hir Sanghera was a Human female born on Kuat, who, as of 156 ABY, served as the Director of Imperial Intelligence within the revived New Galactic Empire.

## Biography

Na’hir was born to the Sanghera family, cradled in the palms of the Kuati spacedocks. Her parents, brilliant and cutthroat strategists in their own right, poured everything into ensuring that their daughter was just as brilliant and just as willing to dirty her hands. Their house could easily trace their ancestry back to the Ten, and ensured that Na’hir knew just what that meant.

Her parents whetted her on Kuati politics, forcing her to sink or swim in the treacherous waters of her home planet. After all, she had siblings and cousins who could take her place if she failed. And as her parents saw what was coming on the horizon of the New Galactic Empire, they groomed her for imperial life.

After all, greasing palms and sabotaging your enemies was just as useful in the Empire as it was on Kuat.

Still, no life is lived in stasis. As soon as she was old enough to start her own backroom dealings, Na’hir also began spending nights in the city. It was dangerous, of course, and Na’hir happily foiled small plots by enemy houses to discredit or kill her, and escape kidnapping attempts. She loved exerting her power over the common people in these areas, and cultivated a slavish fanbase that did anything she said and kissed her boots on demand. It was delightful. She also experimented with common party drugs, though did not really enjoy them.

Soon enough, her things were packed and Na’hir went to the Academy, where she continued to frequent nightclubs and pay other students to do work she didn’t feel like doing. This was also when Na’hir started to use drugs as a coping mechanism to force herself into a fugue state until she calmed down. As her family’s pressures increased as she graduated and started to work in Imperial Intelligence, and the level of scrutiny she faced in Kuat dropped, she started to use ryll, millaflower, and avabush spice to mitigate the stress.

Na’hir is always careful to use her drugs in the evening before her days off, and then spend her time off relaxing and recalibrating. She’s something of a hedonist, but she’s not stupid. She’s also careful and thorough about her work, something others would be surprised to learn, since she prefers to only let her superiors know that.

Though since her promotion to Madame Director, her spice use has tapered off. She doesn’t feel the need to quit entirely, but she wants to be secure in her position before she starts abusing it.

## Appearance

She is tall, with brown eyes and dark brown hair. She is a little broad-shouldered, and moderately muscled, imposing in uniform, with an inscrutable smile. While not quite towering, she enjoys leveraging her height over others. Her eyes always seem to have a mysterious air.

## Personality and Traits

Na’hir spent her life being groomed by her parents, and being molded by them. At this point in her life, her desires and her parent’s ambitions are the same thing. She was raised to be on the board and in play. She has high ambitions, more to bring pride to her family and home planet than a desire for personal power. After all, she has spent her life getting what she wants. As befitting her station, Na’hir can be quite smug and pompous. Also notably, Na’hir learned early that the Sanghera name gave her the power to do almost anything she wanted, meaning she quite frequently acts like she owns something until she does own it. It’s very effective.

Tamped down deep inside her, Na’hir worries about pleasing everyone in her family, and about her ability to do her job well. On the surface, she worries more about producing results, and hates heights like glass-walled elevators and bridges over long drops.

Na’hir is not particularly prone to her routine, but her mornings are sacrosanct and must be done in a certain order to prepare her for the rest of the day. She tends to play with her hair when thinking or distracted.

## Abilities

Na’hir has been trained in hand-to-hand combat, and training to increase her speed, strength, and stamina. Along with training to resist interrogation and escape tactics. This was because as the main daughter of an important political Kuati family, kidnappings and ransoms were constant threats.
