Menda was a career intelligence officer, and he only cared about his intelligence apparatus. His main focus was the security of the country, and that starts with the security and stability of the intelligence services. He had previously refused to plan sabotage operations in Myshka because that would endanger his sources. Besides, he had successfully dismantled multiple Myshkan operations inside Beeljad. As a rek, Menda was very well respected by the army and by his officers. He was a hands on officer, and he knew the details about every thing that his officers were doing. He maintained discipline and prevented the corruption of the bureaucratic government from infiltrating his service by keeping the service small and organised while outsourcing many of its logistical and administration functions to contractors. His organisation remained clean and clear, although he benefited handsomely from the deals the contractors made with his subordinates.
