Captain Dent was the leader of the IMC expedition to the planet Uxarieus. Upon discovering a rich vein of duralinium, he became convinced that the greater good was served by ensuring the Human colonists under Robert Ashe were forced off the planet. Although careful to be seen to be conducting his affairs under the strict letter of the law, he was not above using murder as a means to accomplish his ends. He was not willing to broker any sort of compromise that might have allowed IMC to operate on the planet alongside the colonists.
[edit] Personality
Extremely controlled and detached, he was driven solely by profit, although he covered his greed with the thin morality of the phrase, "what's good for IMC is good for the Earth". At some level, he probably did believe that he was helping people. However, his larger motivation was simple, personal greed. (DW: Colony in Space)
