Rhodes was a Havenite citizen and an officer of the Office of State Security.
In 1914 PD, Rhodes was a People's Commissioner assigned to the battlecruiser PNS William T. Sherman, part of Vice Admiral Lester Tourville's task force for Operation Bagration. The vessel's commanding officer, Captain Oliver Diamato, managed to conceal his "counter-revolutionary" thoughts on military protocol from Rhodes, as the captain was not sure whether Rhodes could be trusted or not.
