+
Wilhelm Axel Aleski Ramstein or '''Deneth Aleski''' (born December 3rd 788 A.S.) is a retired flag officer of the [[Bretonian Armed Forces]].  
−
==History==
+
 
−
===Childhood and adolescence===
+
He was the first and only Bretonian citizen of foreign birth to have served the BAF as a full fledged Admiral. He is also the only foreign officer to have sat on the Bretonian Admiralty Board.
−
Born in 793 [[A.S.]] to Eckhard Aleski and Jeannette Aleski (nee Ramstein-Schrödinger), Wilhelm was the youngest of three other boys, Mark Alexander and Axel, both aged 27. Raised in the upper middle-class and aristocratic town of Wolfsburg in the outskirts of New Berlin's capital city, Wilhelm enjoyed a comfortable and relatively worry-free childhood, despite the [[Nomad War]] of 800 A.S. and the already weakened state of the Rheinlandish economy. His father is a highly ranked and prominent member of Rheinland's defense forces, while his mother is the Head Nurse of the Wolfsburg General Hospital.
+
 
 +
Deneth Aleski disappeared under mysterious circumstances in late 819 [[A.S.]] He hasn't been heard of or seen since and his current status is unknown.
 +
== Profile ==
 +
 
 +
'''Official Name:''' Wilhelm Axel Aleski Ramstein
  
−
Generally characterized as a very introverted and withdrawn child during his youth, Deneth showed tremendous prowess in academics. As well as finishing with top grades in all but one year of his pre-college education, he showed exceptional aptitude in English studies. By the age of 10, he could read, write and speak fluently in English.
+
'''Last official title:''' Admiral Wilhelm Axel "Deneth" Aleski Ramstein, Commander of the 5th Fleet "Suffolk"
  
−
As time passed, Deneth started exhibiting leadership aptitudes, becoming the captain of his high school's soccer club and taking up extracurricular activities. He had his first romantic relationship at the age of 17, however. It lasted four months.
+
'''Age:''' 31
  
−
===Early adulthood===
+
'''Gender:''' Male
−
At the age of 18, at the recommendation of his father Eckhard and according to family tradition, Deneth was invited to attend the prestigious ''Militärische Hochschule des Rheinland'', or [[Military College of Rheinland]]. The institution serves as the leading producer of commissioned officers within the ranks of Rheinland military forces and only the best and brightest are invited to attend the school.
 
  
−
After a three-year course in which he was taught the rudiments of warfighting, tactics & strategies, military doctrine, piloting skills alongside a civilian collegiate degree, Deneth graduated with the commissioned rank of ''Officer Cadet'', a position that would put him in charge of a regular-sized battleship fighter squadron. His first deployment orders soon followed.
+
'''Weight:''' 210 lbs.
  
−
===Service in the Rheinwehr===
+
'''Height:''' 6'2''
−
In 814 A.S., ''Offiziertanwerter Wilhelm Aleski'' accepted his first deployment orders. He was put in command of the 120th "Thor's Hammer" fighter squadron, a newly formed fighter/bomber wing based on the [[Battleship Regensburg]], which has recently been moved to the Munich system. His deployment was slated to end in 816 A.S. with a customary promotion to the rank of ''Hauptmann''. For him, it was the beginning to the career he had always aspired to, following the footsteps of his father, grandfather and forefathers bearing the Aleski name.
 
  
−
However, things would not go smoothly at all. The [[Battleship Regensburg]], recently moved to Munich to ward off Unioner raids and protect shipping lanes, simply could not meet strategic and tactical expectations. Additionally, due to the war with Liberty, reinforcements to the Regensburg were scarce. Fighter wings were often ill-equipped and the pilots sent out to fend off Unioner strikes lacked proper training and experience. As CO of the 120th, Aleski was appalled at the conditions in which the men and women of the Regensburg had to fight. All of this was taking place while Kanzler Reinhardt took office, promising massive budget increases for defense. The young officer simply could not believe it.
+
'''Political ideology:''' No political affiliation
  
−
Unfortunately for Aleski, few of the officers on board the Regensburg shared the young man's concerns. Every time the Officer Cadet attempted to bring up the obvious lack of attention and resources given to the enlisted ranks, his superiors would simply find a way to silence or censor him. Be it during officer debriefings, reports and so forth. Eventually, Aleski's superior officers (notably the Regensburg HC) were actively seeking to isolate and rid the ship of him once and for all. Bogus informal warnings of improper service conduct would soon become official performance complaints, then ill-founded disciplinary sanctions and even un-paid suspensions.
+
'''Religion:''' Pagan
  
−
On September 4th, 816 A.S., during preparations for for a general scramble, Aleski got into a physical altercation with the Chief of Flight Operations, Major Bach. Immediately, Militär Polizei soldiers arrested the Officer Cadet and locked him in the Regensburg Brig, despite Major Bach being the actual instigator of the fight. He would be released only three weeks later, after his father "persuaded" certain individuals to let him go free of charges. However, this was simply too much for Deneth. Two weeks later, the officer did not report back from a routine patrol. His wingmen claimed that he was shot down.
+
'''Nationality:''' Bretonian citizen (Naturalized through military service), Rheinlander at birth
  
−
As a matter of fact, according to ship maintenance logs, it was discovered that the transponder and IFF transmitter on Aleski's famed [[Wraith]] were disabled "as a cautionary measure" by engineers before he even took off. As such, it was impossible to track the ship's location or its status. Deneth Aleski had simply vanished. Whether or not the act was deliberate remained a mystery and Deneth was put as Missing in Action.
+
'''Known Medical Record(s):'''
−
===Switching sides===
+
* Major head trauma sustained during ejection testing. Recurrent headaches and rare episodes of dizziness reported since incident.
−
Deneth Aleski had actually switched sides, in a fit of disillusioned rage at having been lied to and getting stepped on for doing the right thing- protecting the men and women under his authority. Initially defecting to the Unioners, the latter decided he would be a better fit for the Red Hessians. With their help, he made his way to the Dresden system, the [[Vogtland Base]] to be more specific.
 
  
−
Things did not feel right, however. Aleski could not bear the idea of fighting, among other people, the people with whom he served just a few months prior. His opposition was not specifically towards Kanzler Reinhardt (though he was by no means appreciated by Deneth), but towards the lack of understanding the government maintained towards those who oppose them. In the summer if 817 A.S., he would leave Rheinland for good, seeking a new place to live. A place where, hopefully, different ideals would be respected. That place would be Bretonia.
+
==Early life==
 +
Deneth Aleski (born Wilhelm Axel Aleski Ramstein) was born on Planet New Berlin to Jeannette Aleski (née Jeannette Ramstein), a nurse and Eckhard Aleski, an affluent Rheinland industrialist and ultra-nationalist. Wilhelm is the youngest of three, his twin seniors being Till Aleski and Markus Aleski, both 35.
  
−
===Service in the BAF===
+
They lived in Wolfsburgstadt, in the outskirts of the capital city of Planet New Berlin, New Berlin City.
−
Deneth voluntarily enlisted in the BAF during September of 817 A.S. at the New London Central Recruitment Center. His first assignment was on board the [[Battleship Suffolk]], the flagship of the 5th Fleet. Thanks to his past experiences as an officer, as well as his knowledge of various ship types, the young pilot quickly gained the respect and friendship of his peers.
 
  
−
Weeks later, after sustaining a head injury during ejection drills, Aleski was given extended shore leave to recover. However, he failed to report back as designated and was declared MIA for a short while. Aleski came back some three weeks later safely. However, he would not tell anyone where he was, with whom and why. Military Section 5 is investigating. No chargers were laid.
+
==Service in the Rheinland Military==
 +
Because of exceptional academic performances, Wilhelm Aleski was invited to attend the prestigious Military College of Rheinland at 18 years of age, bypassing the state mandatory conscription system altogether. He accepted the invitation with no hesitation and completed a 3 year Officer Training course, graduating with the Commissioned rank of Lieutenant.  
  
−
In late July of 818 A.S., Deneth Aleski was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant and re-assigned, from the 5th Fleet Suffolk to the 6th Fleet Essex, based in the Dublin system.
+
After completing his first tour of duty onboard a carrier-class vessel, he was promoted to the rank of Captain and transferred to a land-based unit of the Rheinland Military on New Berlin. While details of this deployment remain highly classified, he served in an intelligence-gathering capacity. It is suspected that he served in a notorious black operations unit of the Rheinland land forces called "Unit 1140", nicknamed "Nightrage". They are alleged to have been behind many mysterious disappearances and assassinations of several well-known and vocal opponents of the Rheinland nationalist government.
  
−
In August 818 A.S., Aleski was transferred again, this time to the [[Battleship Harlow]], where he performs clerical and administrative work as well as being a fighter pilot. His duties include, among other things, monitoring communications directed to the Bretonian Armed Forces and responding to outside inquiries on behalf of the Fleet Admiral.
+
==The Red Hessians and escape to Bretonia==
 +
Shortly after deserting the Rheinland Military and assuming a low profile, Aleski decided to join the Red Hessian political movement through a contact he had acquired during a previous infiltration mission. He joined the RHA, the armed faction of the Hessian movement, as a fighter pilot, where he distinguished himself as being a calculated, patient and opportunistic dogfighter, taking full advantage of the mistakes of his opponents.
 +
 
 +
After an assassination attempt that nearly cost his life during a meeting with LWB militants on the Stuttgart planetside, Aleski fled Rheinland altogether, seeking political refugee status in Bretonia. He will reach the Kingdom of Bretonia through Leeds with his Odin VHF, badly damaged and stripped of weapons.
 +
 
 +
Caught in the midst of war with Kusari, Bretonian officials offered Aleski permanent residency in exchange for service in either the [[Bretonia Police Authority]] or the [[Bretonian Armed Forces]], a policy used to handle incoming non-standard migrants from non-hostile houses. He accepted, choosing to enlist in the BAF and accepting the rank of Ensign.
 +
 
 +
==Bretonian Armed Forces ==
 +
Starting from the bottom of the rank structure, Aleski was automatically assigned to a fighter squadron in space. His first assignment was to one of the 5th Fleet's fighter squadrons based on HMS Suffolk. Despite Aleski's foreign origin, he quickly gained the acceptance and respect of his comrades, thanks in part to his dogfighting skills and expertise in dealing with Borderworld fighters.
 +
 
 +
Months after entering service with the 5th Fleet, while entering HMS Suffolk's fighter bay, his Templar VHF suffered a catastrophic failure which activated the ejection system inside the battleship. The fighter pilot was hurled upwards into the expansive fighter bay ceiling at forces in excess of 10 G. Aleski sustained heavy trauma to the head and had to be kept in a medically-induced coma for several weeks. He recovered with seemingly no permanent damage to the brain, only recurring episodes of dizziness and migraine.
 +
 
 +
On the eve of a large military campaign in the Dublin sector, Deneth Aleski was transferred to the 6th Fleet "Royal Londonderry Flying Men" Mixed Combat Squadron, bassed on HMS-Essex. Aleski was simultaneously promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. Several weeks into his deployment, the HMS-Essex Medical Staff declared the pilot Unfit for Combat, as previously undetected brain damage from his previous incident began to manifest. His piloting abilities were impaired to such an extent that flying in a combat role became impossible. To Aleski's insistence, his superiors recommended for him to be transferred to an administrative unit rather than facing discharge from military service. In the end, he was formally transferred to the BAF Royal Logistics & Support Branch, serving aboard the HMS Harlow as a communications specialist directly under the Fleet Admiral of the time, Sir Martin Bridge. As the Fleet Admiral's spokesperson and representative, Aleski developed a close friendship with Admiral Bridge. After reaching the rank of Captain, Aleski became the commanding officer of the Harlow's communication staff and effectively controlled much of the Armed Forces communication structures. He will be awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his role in modernizing internal communication systems in the midst of war, among other military and civil achievements.
 +
 
 +
In 818 A.S., Captain Deneth Aleski was summoned by Fleet Admiral James Ralston, on advice of the Admiralty Board, to become the Military Governor of Newcastle and commanding officer of the 11th Fleet based on HMS-Grimsby, one of two Bretonian battleships permanently based in the Newcastle sector. Soon after, his assignment became permanent and was subsequently appointed to the rank of Admiral and was given a chair in the Admiralty Board.
 +
 
 +
Months later, Admiral Aleski requested to resign from his command duties for reasons unspecified. It is widely believed that he resigned due to health issues, allegations which remain unconfirmed to this day. His request was accepted and was immediately decommissioned.
 +
 
 +
On the eve of an imminent Gallic invasion, Wilhelm Deneth Aleski requested to re-enlist in the BAF - his request was accepted by Fleet Admiral James Ralston himself, re-appointing him to the rank of Commodore. He was also back given his seat on the Admiralty Board. Weeks later, he was re-instated to the rank of Admiral, partly due to organizational needs. He served as the Armed Forces Military Liaison Officer, acting as the primary point of contact and coordination for all factions - military or civil - working against Royal Gallic forces.
 +
 
 +
Most recently, Admiral Aleski was appointed the role of Commanding Officer of the 5th Great Suffolk Fleet, based on the HMS-Suffolk.
 +
 
 +
==Current whereabouts==
 +
Admiral Deneth Aleski disappeared under mysterious circumstances in late 819 A.S. People close to the former officer and chair of the Admiralty Board claim that in the days before his disappearance, he was acting in "a very erratic", "nervous", "tensely preoccupied" and "distant" manner. Deneth Aleski was known among his peers and subordinates as a calm, deliberate person with "a somewhat sunny disposition".
 +
 
 +
An investigation was launched just two days after he failed to show up at a meeting with senior Bretonian Government officials as it was feared he was abducted. However, preliminary findings rule out such an outcome (no signs of forced entry into his home, lack of evidence pointing towards foul play, etc). Although the investigation is still ongoing, it is suggested that he likely suffered an episode of PTSD-induced psychosis (a condition for which Aleski is a known sufferer), possibly going into hiding as a result. Some of his personal items were missing from his home, suggesting he left deliberately.
 +
 
 +
Deneth Aleski hasn't been heard of or seen as of late 819 A.S. His military status is currently "Missing In Action - Status Unknown". As per Bretonian law regarding death in absentia, he will be declared legally dead in 829 A.S. should he not be found or heard of until then.

Early life

Deneth Aleski (born Wilhelm Axel Aleski Ramstein) was born on Planet New Berlin to Jeannette Aleski (née Jeannette Ramstein), a nurse and Eckhard Aleski, an affluent Rheinland industrialist and ultra-nationalist. Wilhelm is the youngest of three, his twin seniors being Till Aleski and Markus Aleski, both 35.

They lived in Wolfsburgstadt, in the outskirts of the capital city of Planet New Berlin, New Berlin City.
