History Pantheon / Planning

* Giving Doc Scratch a Rank was a little tough. As a First Guardian, the power he gets from the Green Sun is insane. One creature with the same power source was able to destroy a creature that embodied and contained an entire universe ([[https://www.homestuck.com/story/5083 and every possible instance of that universe]]), which ''should'' grant him the rank of an Overdeity. ''However'', Doc Scratch, for all his power, seems to have only very passive abilities, such as teleportation, due to his biology basically being that of a puppet. He doesn't seem to have many attacks to actually use his power with and if he does, he hasn't shown them. Therefore he is stuck as a very high ranked Greater God. He, however, has [[VideoGame/HiveSwap shown]], the ability to manipulate minds and emotions. And he demonstrated this by inflicting this on the MSPA reader, making them crave friendship via messing with their mind and forcing their friends to forget about them, He even irreparably damaged the mind of Fozzer by changing his personality completely. Needless to say, he is not liked by the House of Pantheon/FriendshipAndCamaraderie, and Nerose Satanael wishes he’d put said abilities to better use…and by better use, he means erasing free will. Scratch just ignored him.

** [[Series/{{Ahsoka}} Revelations on where the purrgils took Thrawn - Peridea, a distant planet in a neighbouring galaxy]] - have sparked new interest in how Thrawn ascended.

** During a battle between the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood and Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfEvil to gain control of a supply line leading to an important GUAE stronghold, the combined forces of Rebellion and Resistance fleet seemed to be winning against the devastated fleet (the nearby fleet of Rewloolas led by Char Aznable proved unavailable). Suddenly, the ''Chimaera'' materialized from hyperspace purrgil-free, flanked by several Resurgent-classes, blindsiding the GUAG fleet. Thrawn shrewdly claimed that Ezra had been overpowered and was being held hostage aboard the ship, and that surrender was the only option[[note]]untrue, as the ''Chimaera'' had not resurfaced directly from its disappearance at the Battle of Lothal, and Ezra had not yet ascended[[/note]]. The frontmost fleet surrendered in their surprise at Thrawn's re-emergence and it was a resounding victory for the Pantheon/GUAEConquestForce.

* Some people just attribute Thrawn's analytical skills to his Chiss ethnicity, but this cannot be farther from the truth. Thrawn's own people were befuddled by his ability to collect detailed tactical knowledge from insignificant or obscure details. Thrawn seeks to perfect [[Literature/TheArtOfWar the art of war]]'''[[labelnote:*]]which he has indeed read[[/labelnote]]'''. He believes that in order to defeat a worthy opponent, one must know the opponent in every aspect, including their history, philosophy and culture. He was able to discern the identity of a disguised Hera Syndulla simply from studying the Kalikori she was holding and the Syndulla family portrait. He's got a bit of the Information Age in him. He treats Sherlock Holmes with some reverence as he was one of the main contributors to Thrawn's creation.

** The BoringButPractical approach. Much of the Empire's military strategy was derived from Imperial Communiqué #001044.92v, the Tarkin Doctrine, which emphasized the philosophy of ruling through fear of force, and applying swift and grand judgement on those who resisted the Empire. This is best exemplified in the Emperor's masterstroke, the Death Star. Thrawn preferred using mundane but more utilitarian strategy against his opponents, and was not a fan of the Death Star simply because he considered it a waste of time and resources and consolidated far too much of the Empire's resources, making it a prime target of the Rebellion. Needless to say, he was proven right since the rebels [[Film/RogueOne stole the plans for the battle station]] and [[Film/ANewHope promptly exploited that one exhaust port to destroy it]]. [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi And then the Emperor just built another one]]. [[Film/TheForceAwakens Starkiller Base]] is at least more acceptable to Thrawn given that it was built into a planet rather than being built from scratch, and was treated as more of a side project rather than the bedrock of the First Order's plans. [[spoiler:Until he learnt that it was created by strip-mining the Jedi's sacred planet of Ilum]].

** It should be noted that Thrawn is not omniscient. If something [[GodzillaThreshold totally unexpected comes up]], he ''can'' think up a plan on the fly, but do not expect him to pull off a miracle victory, like when the purrgils were summoned by Ezra.
* Over time, Thrawn began having nagging thoughts in the back of his mind. He was disturbed by the random visions he had in his head of [[Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy an alternate life with subtle differences from the one he led]]. This went on for a few weeks until the strain he could no longer bear without visible side-effects, and he checked into the House of Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases. [[spoiler:It was revealed to him that the visions he was experiencing were indeed the life he had once led, as a Grand Admiral leading the remnants of a fallen Empire to near victory against the New Republic. Yet this was retconned with the sale of Lucasfilm to Disney, and their decision to wipe the slate clean in preparation for the sequel trilogy]]. He quickly healed after that. Thrawn bears no ill will towards George Lucas for the [[RetCon retcon]], simply for the reason that he was no longer in charge of the property by that time and [[LoopholeAbuse isn't Thrawn's creator]]: Creator/TimothyZahn is.

* Given his objective and analytical standpoint, he has no interest in personal glory, only results, unlike most other Imperial officers who are mostly interested in [[ProfessionalButtKisser gaining brownie points]] with the Emperor and achieving petty goals. The establishment in the GUAE is not happy at Thrawn's utter effectiveness since it hinders their chance at favour from Melkor and seek to dethrone Thrawn from his position as commander of the GUAE fleet. Likewise, Thrawn has no tolerance for fools, bullies and the arrogant, and wastes no opportunity to belittle or humiliate them should their hubris prove too detrimental to the success of the GUAE. Nevertheless, [[ConflictingLoyalty his loyalty is constantly in question]]. While he claimed that the Emperor would command his allegiance over the Chiss Ascendancy, [[Literature/ThrawnTreason certain events]] have charges of treason up in the air for him. He has managed to brave these odds and gain loyalty from many like-minded individuals in the GUAE, though just as many oppose him.

--> '''Thrawn''': "Lord Tywin, do not think I am an UnwittingPawn to be used as your mighty blade of judgement. I am perfectly willing to help you against your enemies, but you are not as capable as you think you might be. A good military leader must be AFatherToHisMen, and you are hardly one to your own pride of lions. You have taught me much about how to handle the hierarchy and I thank you for that. But I accept my soldiers' imperfections and work to assist them. Your vicious upbringing of your children has moulded them into the dysfunctional people they are today. [[Pantheon/RoyalActivities Jaime]]? A morally apathetic yet not dishonourable man. [[Pantheon/SelfHatred Cersei]]? A CompleteMonster who acts like a petulant child waiting for a sweet, throwing a tantrum when she is refused. [[Pantheon/LoyaltyAndServitude Tyrion]]? You denied him an opportunity to prove himself, making him [[TheAlcoholic a slave to whoring]] and [[NeverMyFault blaming him for it]]. Why, only Daenerys was able to bring out his true potential. And your first act upon entering the Pantheon is to disown the three of them for being disloyal to you and failing to uphold the legacy of House Lannister. That, Lord Tywin, is why I despise in-fighting and politics in my Empire, because ''this'' happens."
* He has been asked repeatedly why he even bothered accepting the Emperor's offer to join the GUAE since his story is now in the open, and thus would implicate him as not really being that evil. Thrawn has replied that, as much as he would not like to admit, his tactical prowess may eclipse even that of the likes of '''Melkor''' himself. However, that alone is the only thing keeping him from getting court-martialed, so he has to avoid accumulating a string of failures, which is getting more and more difficult. He also finds the GUAE as a better alternative than allying with more extremist villains such as the [[Pantheon/{{Continuities}} Anti-Monitor]] and [[Pantheon/HatredAndRancor Zamasu]] who seek to destroy rather than rule, and the GUAG would hate him a bit too much for his liking. So he stays with the GUAE for now. The Flood worries him as a type of zombie able to convert anything of sufficient biomass, and potentially assimilate the rest of the Pantheon. He reserves most of his hate for the GUAD since they desire the complete annihilation of everything.

* As for his relationship with the Rebel Alliance, his knowledge of galactic events has him puzzled as to why they continue fighting despite the Empire now being effectively immortal in the Pantheon. Prominent Rebellion members who joined up after Thrawn's disappearance think lowly of him as the man who nearly brought their cause to extinction if not for Ezra's intervention. Leia, as leader of the Resistance, has made concessions to Thrawn in hopes of persuading him to [[HeelFaceTurn switch sides]] for the sake of the Chiss Ascendancy. Most Jedi think Thrawn a misguided believer, thinking the Force (or as the Chiss call it, Sight) as a weapon instead of a cosmic source of energy connecting everything in the universe and a force of nature. If need be, Thrawn can disable Force-users in battle with ysalamirs, lizard-like creatures that can neutralise Force attacks.

* There are hints that he is disdainful of the House of Pantheon/{{War}} - as one who is generally reserved and ''very'' good at the strategic side of war, he stands out among the screaming hordes of fighters. Despite this, he has joined their ranks if ever so reluctantly.

* [[spoiler:With the Emperor's final defeat on Exegol, Thrawn has begun a massive build-up of Imperial resources in the Pantheon to return to the greater galaxy and re-conquer it. This military build-up includes reviving several abandoned Imperial operations from ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' such as the [=TIE/ph=] Phantom. To this end, the Super Star Destroyer ''Terror'' (along with its crew, Admiral Sarn and project coordinator Grand Admiral Martio Batch) has been summoned to the Pantheon to continue what was disrupted by the Rebels.]] Additionally, for [=PR=] reasons he has consented to making a vacation home at the Walt Disney World Resort, specifically at the ''Ride/StarWarsGalaxysEdge'' ride. Don't expect to see him there, because he isn't too concerned or interested in his status as a fan favourite. That said, if he is there (usually to study the ride for inspiration), he isn't [[NotSoAboveItAll averse to signing autographs]] when visitors ask him.

** Before that day, other gods had decided to challenge Near to any intellectual activity with very few accounts of them succeeding; he had only been beaten by L and Mello beforehand, and even then he had accounts of managing to beat the both of them. After completing the game and winning, much to James' shock, he was going to head out, only to be stopped by Panty, who, seeing how Near was on her ''To-Do List'', took notice and complimented Near in how cute and adorable he was, mentioning how it is a shame his ''V card'' is still with him. Of course, Near being a DefectiveDetective, he had zero idea of what to do and was left stuttering and flustered as Panty picked him up and took him to her room, resulting in one of the only times in Pantheon history that other deities witnessed Near's legs moving frantically. The result of that was conflicting for Near, to say the least. On one hand, what she did to him at first was something that he didn't seem fond of, despite [[Pantheon/TaintedLove Frollo]] seeming downright ''envious'' of him, but on the other hand, cuddling with Panty was actually rather enjoyable. He settled to being JustFriends with her, allowing her to cuddle him and nothing else.

** [[spoiler:Got a small smirk upon hearing from [[Pantheon/SpeechNToZ Usami]] that Celestia isn't that bad of a person if she isn't in a kill or be killed situation, while Celestia tried to keep her quiet. He has gotten a few ideas on how to improve Celestia since]].
* He plays a pivotal part in the fall of [[spoiler:[[Pantheon/{{Eyewear}} Relius Clover]]]] by [[spoiler:sending Celes to [[Pantheon/FemaleAnatomy Litchi F]][[Pantheon/{{Physicians}} aye-Ling]] and paying a visit to Alice Margatroid and had Litchi and Alice's follower Carl to not help Relius when things go south. Then he contacted [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} Albert Wesker]], promising that he'll be rid of a rival in perfection. Then he took on the battlefield... and had him and Wesker backstab Relius, and with the convincing, both Carl and Litchi did not help Relius one bit, causing Relius' fall and the two's redemption]]. Why would he do this? [[spoiler:Because he made a promise to [[Pantheon/CombatOther The B]][[Pantheon/{{Mothers}} oss]]... [[Webcomic/{{Hiimdaisy}} If he doesn't help them, he's to be grounded till the year 2014 ("NNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!")]]]].
** [[spoiler:Having experienced the same thing in the face of [[Pantheon/TortureAndMutilation Colonel Volgin]] helps a lot]].
* Was silent when he learned how [[Pantheon/PersonsOfDesire Big Boss]] made it to the Pantheon.
* Ocelot considers ''everyone'' pawns. Even his so-called allies. [[UndyingLoyalty The only one]] Ocelot truly values as an ally and friend is Big Boss.
* Laments the actions of [[Pantheon/ActsOfTreason Arvis]]. Ocelot admitted that he ''might'' have taken him under his wing due to his impressive gambit to create a peaceful Jugdral... but he blew it when he forged an allegiance of the Loptyr clan. [[MagnificentBastard If it was Ocelot running things there, he'd make sure that he's the one backstabbing the Loptyr clan, not the other way around]].
