Iden is a pilot of exceptional capability and stature. Her success is truly of her own making – a mixture of ability and determination. She embodies elements of her father’s strength and her mother’s creative curiosity, but tension exists in her family, thanks largely to her father’s imposing and often disruptive presence.ĭespite her prestigious pedigree, Iden enjoys no favoritism in her rapid advance through the Imperial ranks. Iden’s relationship with her parents is a complicated affair.

Like Iden’s father, Zeehay is a respected servant of the Empire, and her work includes propaganda posters deployed by the Imperial regime. Iden’s mother, Zeehay Versio, is a prominent artist. He extends this conviction into his relationship with his daughter, mercilessly pushing Iden and constantly testing her limits.

Garrick’s vision of the Empire is deeply pragmatic and singular: strength is necessary to maintain order, and the Empire is strength incarnate. Iden is the child of Admiral Garrick Versio of the Imperial Security Bureau. Iden's heroic rise could be called destiny – or at least predestination.
