Commander Eli Carradine – Section 31’s Containment Specialist
Commander Eli Carradine – Section 31’s Containment Specialist
General Overview
Commander Eli Carradine is a senior operative within Section 31, specializing in containment, retrieval, and neutralization of rogue Starfleet assets. He is a problem solver, not a zealot, with a pragmatic and calculating mind. Unlike some of his colleagues who act with ruthless enthusiasm, Carradine is cold, methodical, and patient.
His job isn’t to kill threats immediately—it’s to assess, plan, and ensure that the solution lasts. A temporary setback is as bad as failure, so he takes his time, ensuring every move is final.
While he operates in the shadows, his methods are surgical rather than brute force. If someone needs to disappear, it’s not with a disruptor blast—it’s through quiet leverage, careful manipulation, and the right pressure at the right time.
Physical Description
- Species: Human
- Age: Late 40s
- Height: 5'11" (180 cm)
- Build: Lean, built for endurance rather than brute strength
- Hair: Dark brown, streaks of silver at the temples
- Eyes: Cold, calculating gray
- Distinguishing Marks: Faint knife scar along his left jawline
- Attire: Typically wears plain, unmarked black uniforms, only donning a Starfleet uniform when absolutely necessary
Personality
Carradine is controlled, deliberate, and quietly intense. He never raises his voice or loses his temper—he doesn’t need to. When he speaks, people listen.
He believes that order must be maintained, no matter the cost. Starfleet cannot function if its greatest weapons go rogue—and the Heimdahl is too valuable, too unpredictable, and too dangerous to be left to its own devices.
- Strengths: Master manipulator, tactically brilliant, always thinking two steps ahead
- Weaknesses: Lacks empathy, underestimates personal loyalty, hates loose ends
- Quirks: Taps a single finger against the table when listening to someone lie
Service Record
- Former Starfleet Intelligence Officer – Ran high-risk infiltration and counterintelligence missions
- Recruited into Section 31 – Assigned to containment operations for rogue Starfleet assets
- Has Dealt with AI Threats Before – Considered an expert in isolating and neutralizing artificial intelligences that exceed their programming
Current Role in the Heimdahl Situation
- Tasked with ensuring Heimdahl remains under control.
- Sees the AI (Nyx/Swayze) as a liability.
- Quietly embedding S31 operatives within the Heimdahl crew.
- Is watching Gabriel Corvus closely.
Relations with Other Key Figures

- The Heimdahl Crew: Expendable, unless they prove otherwise.
Dialogue Examples
- “This ship is an uncontrolled variable. I do not deal in uncontrolled variables.”
