History: Here.

Personality: On the outside, Cassian is a quiet, serious sort of man who follows the orders he's given, no matter what his feelings on the subject may be. Good luck, in fact, finding an inkling or suggestion that his orders and his personal feelings don't align. It's a survival tactic, much like being able to convince people to trust him with information that might get them both killed. Being a spy during an intergalactic civil war means you keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Hopefully with them being blissfully unaware that you're the enemy in the first place.

The Rebellion has been his primary motivator for years, and to that point, Cassian is a selfless individual. He doesn't do what he believes is right for himself, he does what he believes is best to further the Rebellion's cause, namely toppling the Empire. Unfortunately, that selflessness combined with the realities of what he does for the Rebellion leads to a compartmentalizing, a distancing from his actions. The gulf between Cassian's personal moral core and what he has been ordered to do has grown wide, but he manages to traverse it with a calm that does not betray his inner turmoil. That calm is not necessarily a façade, but a part of the way he's creating measured distance between himself and the things he must do.

Cassian is neither an optimist or a pessimist, but a realist; he has all the hope of the Resistance succeeding but he also recognizes that a lot of people will get hurt for that to be accomplished. Recognizes that he might well be one of those people who dies. Continues on doing what he knows he must anyway. Cassian knows what has to be done to survive because he's done it before. He's lied and killed and recruited for the Resistance almost all his life; he admits he's been a part of the Resistance since he was six years old, and being a captain in the intelligence division is no calm walk in the park. There's little point, in his opinion, in being unwavering in the face of what's necessary. Yet what is necessary and what helps one sleep at night are not always one in the same, and these differences have fractured Cassian internally.

Again, that compartmentalizing comes into play, and there aren't many situations in which he would admit unease at what he's done, and if it was worth it; there's a war going on, and there isn't much time for that kind of talk. In fact, the one situation in which he does confess to unease at his personal history of being an assassin and spy? Comes when the Resistance stalls at the idea of turning over in defeat or attempting to collect the schematics and plans for the Death Star in the hopes of destroying it before it destroys them. Cassian feels torn, because he cannot justify the blood on his hands if the Rebellion intends to just give up. Unlikely to happen again, and Cassian is just as unlikely to seek out therapy or whatever it is people who aren't traumatized by war and lacking emotional outputs do.

Cassian does not make friends easily, in part because he's a paranoid sort after living the life he has. People connected to the Resistance, or to resistance-type activities in their own worlds that parallel the struggles he's familiar with are most likely to be deemed 'safe'. They're more likely to see less of the outwardly stoic Captain and more of the quippy, intelligent man underneath with a philosophical twist; anyone else has at least a little while to go before then. However, when he does make friends, his selfless streak comes through a mile wide. Cassian puts the needs of the many before the needs of the one and this translates to his interpersonal relationships as well.
