Captain Elias Thorne

Captain Elias Thorne is a seasoned officer in the United States Navy, commanding the USS Freedom, a state-of-the-art Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. He is a pragmatic leader who believes in the necessity of maintaining global order through strength, even if it means making morally ambiguous decisions.

Thorne is disciplined, calculating, and deeply loyal to his crew and country. He possesses a dry wit and a calm demeanor under fire, but beneath the surface lies a simmering tension—he is not entirely comfortable with his orders to disrupt British trade, viewing it as a necessary evil in a world of shifting alliances. He respects tradition and skill, even in an enemy.
