#something like this is probably why imperial agent/theron shan is so popular

You ever think about the files the SIS must have on the Imperial characters? I mean really, look me in the eyes and tell me they don’t have extensive files on all four of them.

-

The SW is probably the first one to be noticed purely because they’re the apprentice of Darth Baras and any apprentice of his needs to be constantly monitored. The SW is very much a blunt instrument (Baras himself calls them his enforcer), so even though the SIS probably doesn’t know WHY they’re on a particular planet, the destruction they leave in their wake makes them easy to track. And if they’re a light side SW, there’s going to be a whole lot of discussion about some of their more confusing actions.

They were actually? Honorable? With that Republic squad they enlisted on Nar Shaddaa?

The jedi master on Tatooine was left alive? And the SW actually respected the sand demon ritual?

And the jedi on Alderaan and the ones sent to intercept you at Jaesa’s meet-up were still in one piece? Hell, the SW actually shamed the later and exposed the darker side of one of them.

The ensuing quarrel between the SW and Darth Baras was probably a little less interesting, sith fight over power all the time, but it definitely caught their attention that the SW actually came out on top and ended up the Emperor’s Wrath.

The SI starts more subtly. Zash is clearly powerful, but not as influential as Baras. To the SIS, they’d just seem to be a no-name apprentice to an average lord. Something to keep tabs on, sure, but not as much as the SW. The first chapter is pretty much a scavenger hunt, and without knowing about the bigger picture, it probably looks like normal artifact hording (though making the cult on Nar Shaddaa probably turned a few heads). With the exception of attacking the jedi enclave on Taris, the second chapter is fairly uninteresting to Republic intelligence too. Just another sith squabble.

But then this lowly sith lord just… doesn’t die. They keep challenging Thanaton and he seems unable to put them down. Then they get the goddamn Silencer and THAT is when they go from ‘eh’ to ‘fuck I need someone monitoring them at all times’.

The BH is surprisingly more illusive than the SW and SI, mostly because a no-name mercenary can easily move around unnoticed. It probably take a lot more for a hunter to get noticed by the SIS than it does for someone who’s part of the Imperial military or sith. Clearly though, the destruction of the Aurora and Kellian Jarro catches their attention. Of course after that their file probably gets filled with the lies Jun Serros spun. I’m sure there were some agents there that saw some things didn’t add up but who’s going to question the jedi battlemaster? Others probably also noted that the BH only started working for Darth Tormen AFTER being driven into his arms.

Of course all their assumptions about the BH get thrown out the window if they’re revealed to be innocent and turn on Tormen. Taking down a Darth Council member probably makes them one of the most interesting mercenaries in the galaxy outside of Mandalore and titans like Shae Vizla, and they’re probably tagged as ‘might be willing to work with the Republic in the future’.

-

I can’t decide if the Agent had a file started before they even set foot on Hutta, or if it took until chapter 2. It probably depends on how good the SIS is, how they get their info, and how good the Agent and Imperial Intelligence are at keeping their identity secret. They’re probably aware of the damage the Agent has left behind, but they might not know it was all done by the same person and they might not have identified them specifically. After that, it’s all up to Kothe as to how much the SIS is kept in the loop (though I get the feeling that he left a lot out, especially the conditioning), and at the conclusion of chapter 3 the state of their file varies based on your choice of ending.

If the Agent wiped their existence from the holonet though, the SIS better hope they have hard copies of their files, or some sort of independent system for their records.

It certainly raises some interesting possibilities for Imperial characters who romance Theron. If he wasn’t already up to speed about them well before they ever met on Manaan, then he sure as hell read up on them the second he realized who he was working with. Hell, maybe he’s been following their career for a while now.
