Character
Captain Adrien Roche
Captain Adrien Roche commands the IOC Harmony, an advanced Intercorporate Oversight Council warship assigned to high-priority enforcement and interception missions. Roche is a career IOC officer with extensive experience pursuing commercial vessels, fugitives, and other targets considered threats to intercorporate security. He is disciplined, formal, and accustomed to operating from a position of overwhelming tactical superiority. Roche favors clear instructions backed by an immediate threat of force rather than prolonged negotiation, and he expects civilian captains to recognize IOC authority without argument. As commander of the Harmony, he is entrusted with missions requiring both discretion and substantial firepower. His pursuit of the Hard Bargain places him among the IOC officers used to enforce Ministry objectives without exposing the organization behind them.
