Len has an almost insatiable desire to learn and pass that knowledge on to others. Whenever he is not in a briefing or on the battlefield, Len is reading or watching holos to learn something new. However, this habit sometimes makes it appear he is easily distracted or not paying attention.

Through a combination of preparing, studying, and analyzing, Len Iode creates detailed battle plans and tries to think two steps ahead of the enemy. At times, however, this can lead to Len Iode creating complicated schemes that can baffle less intelligent subordinates.

After the end of this most recent War, Len began to have nightmares. Len couldn't even target shoot without seeing ghosts in his sights. However, watching the Odanites expand into diplomacy, exploration, arts, and archeology warms his heart and gives him hope that maybe all the fighting, death, and destruction to keep innocents safe is worth it. As he rejoins the fleet, the Chiss is looking forward to enjoying the relative peace and reminding the new recruits why they are here.

Len has been through hell and back, but the battle at Arx pushed the Chiss to re-evalute his place in the larger Galaxy. He resigned his O.E.F. commission and spent months traveling with his dad, Ken Iode, and Alethia Archenksova. Desperate to make himself useful, Len started learning more about how ship systems work and pitching in with basic maintenance. After six months of pouring through technical manuals and rebuilding every ship system he could get his hands on, the younger Eode has reinvented himself as a first-rate operations crewman and engineer. Len finally came to peace with the fact that he can’t keep everything in his life from breaking down—but he’ll be damned if he can’t put it back together again, and running better than ever to boot.

When it comes to a fight, some like to posture, some like to act tough, some like to dance around and go through all sorts of fancy footwork. Len Iode? Len Iode doesn't bother with exotic battle stances, intricate maneuvers, or super-secret tactics. Len Iode, when cornered into a fight, prefers the ancient technique of a good kick to the nuts. And if that won't work, either because the enemy is a woman or has balls of steel, Len Iode isn't beyond pulling a few more cheap tricks out of the bag. Granted, Len Iode won't be winning any medals for nobility or any prestige for a unique fighting style or a superb maneuver, but Len Iode will still be winning, the best and most dirty way he knows how.

Len Iode will try not to go into any situation head-on. Even in the thick of combat, he is constantly making adjustments to his tactics to get the drop on the enemy. However, when the situation demands or the enemy forces his hand, he will attack the enemy directly.
