Despite this, Phasma can yield to death threats, but only when it threatens her safety. Simultaneously, she will appear to put the needs of the whole in line, such as the First Order, as extension to her survival. On Parnassos, she was shaped to be quite resilient, but inherently treacherous she went as far as to lead her own family and tribe to death in order to survive. The novel Phasma reveals that she has a "survival of the fittest" mentality, in that she will do anything, even joining a higher power, to maintain self-preservation. She is strict and calculating, and a no-nonsense individual. Phasma is extremely self-confident to the point that she expects her underlings to trust in her word and listen. Such observation is not out of care but caution so that she can remove anyone that could threaten her and the First Order. Due to this, she is a perfectionist, and keeps careful track of every stormtrooper under her watch. To employ this, Phasma prefers to have stormtroopers face real combat in order to test them, therefore weeding out only the best stormtroopers to join the First Order. Phasma believes that duty to the First Order is her first and main priority, and sees to it that only the best stormtroopers see battle. She has no interest in politics, believing that they meddle with rank and produce ineffective soldiers however, she respects those who are in line with her interests. Just like she did her family, and just like she did the Scyre.” ―Cardinal realizing Phasma's intentions.Īs the head of the First Order stormtroopers, Phasma is cold, efficient and commanding among her underlings.

Soon, she conspired with Brendol's son Armitage and assassinated Brendol, thus turning Brendol's control of the First Order over to Armitage. Phasma departed with Brendol and left her only surviving warrior Siv behind for "betraying" Phasma when the girl disobeyed her orders.īrendol tested Phasma's loyalty by blowing up the few populated areas of Parnassos, which perturbed Phasma. A First Order ship managed to detect Brendol, and came down to Parnassos to rescue him. A battle commenced, during which the majority of the Scyre perished, while Phasma killed Keldo for leading their clan to death. During the journey, Brendol took notice of Phasma's strength and enticed Phasma with the offer of joining the First Order.īy the time they reached Brendol's ship, the Scyre clan caught up to them. The journey, however, was a harsh one, as the members of the party succumbed to the planet's brutal environment one by one. Seeing this as a chance to escape their dying planet, Phasma convinced her warriors to help Brendol find his ship and get off Parnassos, despite Keldo forbidding her from doing so. One day, she intercepted a First Order assembly by Brendol Hux, who had crashedlanded in Parnassos and was in need of resources. Together with Keldo, Phasma defended Scyre territory from rival clans. When she was a teenager, she became a natural-born warrior who led her clan to survive their home's harsh environment, and had a personal envoy of warriors (consisting of Siv, Torben, Gosta, and Carr) at her side. Their parents were killed by the Scyre clan, but she and Keldo were spared and accepted into the clan who killed their family. To ensure she and Keldo survived, she permanently injured Keldo and pushed him into a cave to instigate a clan attack. As a child, she, her brother Keldo, and their parents lived together in a weak clan that was nearing the brink of extinction.
