ACHILLES SIENAR-SANTHE
50s :: Galactic Empire :: CEO, Santhe Corporation
Currently on Coruscant
Character Background
Achilles Sienar-Santhe is the son of an arranged marriage between the Santhe and Sienar families of the Tion Cluster. Neither family is particularly fond of him, though the Santhes like to keep him visible, to remind the Sienars of their place.
What he lacks in pedigree, he makes up for in business acumen. Initially given a fairly mediocre subsidiary to run, Achilles turned it into a profitable, valuable part of the Santhe business empire. His successes helped him rise through the hierarchy, and earned him an appointment as CEO of the entire Santhe Corporation. Some say that his job is merely that of a ceremonial figurehead, and his subordinates do all the work. Others think that he was promoted so he'd have the chance to fail publicly, giving the family an excuse to remove him from importance entirely. Few accept that he is a shrewd and cunning businessman who earned his way to the top by knowing where was the right place, and when was the right time.
Raw Material
Achilles is not a Hutt, but should be. He knows all the airs and graces to make his way in the upper echelons of society, but at time people can find him smug and slimy. He is not afraid to bend, break, or completely ignore the rules when it suits him, and his morality is inversely proportional to the size of the potential profits involved. He is not above using Santhe Security personnel as enforcers if he needs to.
He is not satisfied merely running the family business: he wants to exceed the relatives who spent a lifetime looking down on them. At one time he had political aspirations, but the Tion Cluster's new isolation from the Empire has derailed that ambition. He is determined to keep himself firmly in the Empire's good graces, hoping that other avenues to power might present themselves.
Achilles has a number of "secret projects" buried within the Santhe Corporation's subsidiaries. Despite the company's status as a tech business, Achilles is particularly interested in biotech - especially it's military applications.
Plot Ideas
Tion Cluster -
Political intrigue? Achilles is a potential point of contact for people negotiating with House Santhe.
Rebellion? Santhe/Sienar is very pro-Imperial. The CEO might be a powerful ally for anyone wanting to stir up anti-Alliance sentiments.
Cloud City -
Networking. It's always useful to meet business contacts!
Shady dealings. Achilles is not afraid of taking short-cuts in business, if it cuts costs. Getting into bed (or trying to) with Black Sun, the Tenloss Syndicate, or the Exchange (or all of the above) is something he will likely try.
Business deals. Santhe Corporation is opening a production facility on Bespin. They need construction droids, resources, transport companies, researchers, test pilots, administrators, and all manner of other stuff to get that operation off the ground.
