No plan survives contact with the enemy. Hector Von Ricmore has learned this lesson better than most. While able and willing to plan with his allies, Hector has become adept at coming up with and changing plans on the fly to adapt to whatever circumstances he finds himself in. This willingness for on the fly planning can irritate traditional strategists and leaders. It may appear to allies that Hector is just making it up as he goes along. This isn’t quite true, and while it can irritate some allies it also gives Hector and his allies unprecedented flexibility to tackle a variety of situations.

Hector takes solace in his belief that he follows the Will of the Force. He listens and learns from his abilities with Farsight, Sense and Psychometry, allowing the Force to provide him information before taking action. He also engages in meditation and thoughtful reflection. Some may find his use of the Will of the Force as an excuse to justify his actions but Hector does the best he can with the guidance he receives.

Hector Von Ricmore is not a prideful person. He’s fought those stronger than him and lost but survived on numerous occasions. While he has strived to develop his skill set and continues to do so, he has long since had any arrogance beaten out of him. Those who do not know him may mistake this for a lack of confidence or distrust in the capabilities of himself or his team. But Hector has merely learned to avoid underestimating his foe and to adapt to life’s challenges as they come.

During his time in the Brotherhood, Hector Von Ricmore has learned that knowledge is power. He has developed a variety of skills and powers to aid in the acquisition of information; and is willing to engage in actions that some would consider immoral or unethical to acquire more knowledge, as long as it does not put his current mission and goals in jeopardy. These behaviors typically anger more moral and honorable sentients and may lead to Hector making enemies of these people. But the Force user considers this to be a worthwhile risk given the benefits his knowledge brings to himself and his allies.

When it comes to a fight, some like to posture, some like to act tough, some like to dance around and go through all sorts of fancy footwork. Hector Von Ricmore? Hector Von Ricmore doesn't bother with exotic battle stances, intricate maneuvers, or super-secret tactics. Hector Von Ricmore, when cornered into a fight, prefers the ancient technique of a good kick to the nuts. And if that won't work, either because the enemy is a woman or has balls of steel, Hector Von Ricmore isn't beyond pulling a few more cheap tricks out of the bag. Granted, Hector Von Ricmore won't be winning any medals for nobility or any prestige for a unique fighting style or a superb maneuver, but Hector Von Ricmore will still be winning, the best and most dirty way he knows how.

Hector Von Ricmore prefers to engage in confrontations on his terms. Information wins wars and he has the tools to gather it. Before engaging in conflict the Force user will use his skills, powers and allies to gather information on a potential foe. This data collection continues while in combat. Because if Hector and his allies are unable to achieve victory, he sees no shame in retreating to face a foe again at a later date. This behavior can lead to Hector being defeated in situations that he could win by making a more risky action. It also may cause those of more martial or honorable cultures to view Hector with disrespect. But at least he and his allies are alive to receive that disrespect.
