Phasma

Phasma was the chrome-armored enforcer of the First Order's stormtrooper corps, a survivor who treated loyalty as a tool and betrayal as a way to climb. She grew up on a ruined, radiation-scarred world and, as a teenager, became war leader of the Scyre clan alongside her brother Keldo, whom she had already crippled while arranging the deaths of their parents. When General Brendol Hux crash-landed near her people, she saw her way off-planet. She guided him across the wastes, abandoned her clan, and killed Keldo when he came after her. In the First Order she rose quickly to captain and took over training its adult recruits. She forged her armor from the plating of Palpatine's old yacht. Working with Armitage Hux, she poisoned her patron Brendol, silenced the young recruit Frey, and left her rival Cardinal for dead, which secured her a place beside Hux and Kylo Ren at the top of the Order. She led the massacre at Tuanul on Jakku that drove FN-2187 to defect. When he returned to Starkiller Base with Han Solo and Chewbacca, they forced her at gunpoint to lower the base's shields. She survived its destruction and framed another officer for the breach. Months later, aboard the crippled Supremacy, she faced the renegade again, now called Finn. He beat her, and she fell into the flames consuming the ship.
