Hollifer Kras

Hollifer Arnham Phasma was a captain of Emperor Palpatine's during the  who—following the —ultimately co-founds the militant Unbroken with Yasmin Bok and Parnac Snoke, serving as the first commandant for the organization's Stormtroopers Corps. Born into the aristocratic House of Phasma on Kuat, which was famed for spawning peerless soldiers and military commanders, Hollifer was an ardent follower of his family's centuries-long tradition of military service since his youth. Originally serving as a steward in the Kuat Expeditionary Forces during the Clone Wars, he later became one of the first non-clones to enlist in the Stormtrooper Corps of the Galactic Empire, earning the distinction of becoming a death trooper in 14 BBY. After years of taking part in covert "pacification campaigns" on dissident worlds, and after personally saving the life of Palpatine's confidant Parnac Snoke on Naboo, he was referred to the Royal Guard and earned a place within its prestigious ranks. By the time the Galactic Civil War erupted in 0 BBY, Hollifer was a captain of the guard and was often tasked leading small strike teams of royal guard commandos to exterminate entire rebel cells without support. Phasma was on one such mission when he learned of the Emperor's death at the in 4 ABY and witnessed the beginnings of the Empire's fragmentation. For his part, Hollifer and those who followed him refused to join with any of the Imperial warlords who emerged to lay claim to the Galactic Throne, instead opting to continue the campaign against the rebellion that he'd been tasked with. It wasn't until reuniting with Snoke in 11 ABY that he would pull himself away from this crusade in exchange for another, more purposeful one. Convinced of Palpatine's ascension to godhood by Parnac, who now led a cult dedicated to his late master, Hollifer joined in the crusade to restore the Empire in accordance with the God-Emperor's will. Under his command, the loyalist stormtroopers of the Unbroken were a lethal fighting force which far outshone their predecessors in every way, being more on par with the elite death troopers. Phasma would personally lead raiding parties clad in both his original Red Guard armor and in his newer chromium-plated suit before age would force him from the field, yet his daughter and heir Imogen would ultimately take up his armor to serve as his representative in battle.
