Tharsanan Critchly inherited his massive size from his ancestor, Captain of the Greenhaven Gestapo Bernard “The Ogre” Critchly, but that is all he really shares with the man. As the head of the current incarnation of the Greenhaven Geheime Staatspolizei, Tharsanan exudes debonair aura that has more in common with the “super-spy” of old Terran movies than real spies. Under this veneer, however, is a ruthless sadist who loves to exploit his extra-legality.
Youth
Tharsanan Critchly was raised from birth by his parents to take over “the family trade”. While most noble families of the Republic are happy living simple, leisurely lives, the leaders of the Greenhaven Gestapo know that this can only happen because of them. Crushing dissent and corruption (whatever they view as corruption, at least) within the Republic, the Geheime Staatspolizei raises a lot of their children to become as ruthless and amoral as possible.
Tharsanan was a fantastic specimen in his various training groups and schooling, using every mean possible to get ahead of his compatriots and secure his place as a successful officer. After graduating from the academy, Tharsanan was allowed to take his family’s heirloom ‘Mech on a tour of duty with the Burrocks.
Head of the Police
Upon returning from his tour, Tharsanan was made commander of the 3rd Division of the Gestapo, where he performed his tasks with glee. His father retired from active duty in 3147, Tharsanan taking over the secret police outfit from his position as 3rd Division commander. There, he traced a group of dissenters from the Word of Blake and Society who were trying to topple the Amaris regime, leading to the largest public execution in 100 years. Some believed this was actually just a performative act by Tharsanan to establish his grip upon the Greenhaven Gestapo.
Members of the Gestapo have been assigned by Critchly himself in the various strike forces against the Inner Sphere to monitor the action of the members of the Union. This also places a sword of Damocles over the head of any commander, knowing all their actions get reported to the Amaris family directly.
