Mitth'ras'safis

Mitth'ras'safis, also known by his core name Thrass, was a Chiss male syndic of the Chiss Ascendancy's Syndicure and held the rank of cousin within the Mitth family. Around 39 BBY he held the title of Aristocra and became acquainted with newly rematched Cadet Mitth'raw'nuru, also known as Thrawn, who would become his good friend and over the years grow as close to Thrass as a brother would. Mitth Patriarch Mitth'oor'akiord observed and quietly encouraged the relationship with the support of Supreme General Ba'kif and Stybla family Patriarch Stybla'mi'ovodo. Thrass and Thrawn worked well as a team, Thrass rising through the Mitth family's political structure while Thrawn similarly excelled within the Expansionary Defense Fleet, and between the two mastering a considerable amount of political and military skill.

Thrass, along with Thrawn, was at one point sent to assist the Stybla family to recover a part of a Starflash weapon that had been stolen by a group of hijackers. During the mission, Thrass declared Thrawn as his brother, as his rank as a cousin allowed him to create his own family relationships. The mission was successful, and the two Mitths were taken into Patriarch Lamiov's confidence as he and Senior Aide Stybla'ppin'cykok shared with them the whole story of the Starflash and its relation to the history of the Mitth family. Thrass and Thrawn took an oath of secrecy, to keep the information to themselves to their graves and beyond.

By 19 BBY, Thrass had become involved with Thrawn's operations against Vagaari pirates. During the operations, Thrawn recovered a gravity well projector from the Vagaari, but Thrass and a massive Lesser Space starship were lost after the syndic attempted to hide the ship from a Chaf family task force. Thrass, along with a human woman, died to protect a group of survivors, who were still aboard the ship. Thrass's death and the loss of the Lesser Space starship were a serious blow to Thrawn's reputation and the Defense Hierarchy Council as well as the Aristocra were displeased with the events.
