General Hux stood on the bridge of the Finalizer.
He breathed in deeply the smell of the ship. Yes, this was the place he belonged.
Hux frowned as he remembered how his father had treated him when he was younger than he was now.
In Brendol Hux’s eyes, Armitage was incapable of living up to his expectations.
Armitage Hux, the son he never wanted, the proof of his affair.
The general sighed as he remembered his hard childhood.
His father... No, this man was never a father to him.
When his biological father realized that Armitage would be his only offspring, he took him away from his mother.
But instead of getting a new home, Armitage suffered from Brendol’s ruthless training methods.
His own suffering did not stop the general from using the same methods on First Order recruits. Hux’s career progressed exceptionally quickly when the Supreme Leader learned of his success in training new recruits.

He stared at the dark-clad, masked man standing next to him on the bridge. Hux gave him a dark look. He hated this man. Kylo Ren was the stumbling block to his own career. The Master of the Knights of Ren had been the Supreme Leader's favorite ever since he had sworn allegiance to the First Order.

Hux thought about how he could surpass Ren to become Snoke’s favorite again. Finally, he came to a decision. He would report every mistake and every insecurity of his rival to Snoke in the hope of bringing Ren down.
He smirked, pretty sure that his strategy would not be unsuccessful.
