Commander

The commander (aka "the voice") is a character in the Dragon Wars and they lead SHADOW. Their gender is currently unknown.

 BIOGRAPHY 

The commander first appears via communication unit to recruit former DCMSA agents Chase and Celeste, although Chase did not know Celeste was recruited until later on. Chase asked why he would want to join them and the commander said it was because Chase was "having trouble" capturing Thunderstrike. Chase reluctantly agreed, realizing that they also sought to arrest Thunderstrike and then asked what his first mission was.

A few days later (in which Chase failed on yet another mission), the commander summoned the two agents in for a conference via a speaker-camera device. The meeting started out with reviewing the pattern of battlefields that Thunderstrike visited, but was turned to the prospect of Celeste abandoning her loyalties by Chase, due to his assumption that if she left, it would force the commander to endanger his own position. The commander ordered Chase to "take a walk" and then grilled Celeste about where her loyalties lay. Celeste admitted that field work was not in her heart (seeing that SHADOW's assumptions about Thunderstrike were "dedragonizing" him) and asked to do a desk job instead. The commander agreed and let Celeste go. However, after being spied upon and manipulated by Chase's increasing desperation to continue his work, the commander was forced to make Celeste go back in her field position again, leaving Celeste even more unsure.

Near the end of the book, the commander removed Chase indefinitely for his fist-first criteria and increasing failure.

The commander later appeared in a non-canonical fanfic, demanding to know what Chase was doing, as he was pursuing Celeste. Chase ignored the question and instead turned the comm unit off and threw it over his shoulder.
