Linds was a member of the Imperial Army, serving as a soldier.
As a soldier, Linds performed his duties within the Imperial Army. The Imperial Security Bureau believed that Linds sympathized with the Alliance to Restore the Republic. They also suspected he was communicating with Captain Ganig and Sergeant Stecker, two other soldiers. The ISB had already flagged Ganig and Stecker as "sensitive" because of their casual attitude toward established doctrine. Even without concrete evidence that Ganig and Stecker intended to join the Alliance, Officer Mar Barezz orchestrated their death during the raid which took place on Picutorion.
