Early life
Deneth Aleski (born Wilhelm Deneth Aleski Ramstein) was born on Planet New Berlin to Jeannette Aleski (né Jeannette Ramstein), a nurse and Eckhard Aleski, an influent Rheinland industrialist and ultra-nationalist, sympathetic to Rheinland imperialism. Wilhelm is the youngest of three, his twin seniors being Axel Aleski and Dor-Markus Aleski, both 35.
They lived in Wolfsburg, on the outskirts of the capital city bearing the same name as the planet.
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. He accepted the invitation with no hesitation and completed a 3 year Officer Training course, graduating with the Commissioned rank of Lieutenant.
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 numerous interviews on the topic later in his life, it will be revealed that Aleski was deeply shaken and troubled by the tasks he had to execute, which included targeted killings, harassment operations, abductions, infiltration and sabotage. This, along with other elements, motivated Aleski to desert the Rheinland Military.
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, 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 the 5th Fleet "Flying Royals" based on HMS Suffolk, a squadron famous for being made up almost entirely of young men born in Bretonian nobility. Despite Aleski's foreign origin, he quickly gained the acceptance and respect of his comrades, thanks in part to his dogfighting skills and expertise with dealing with Borderworld fighters.
Months after entering service with the Flying Royals, while entering HMS Suffolk's fighter bay, his Templay 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 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 declare the pilot Unfit for Combat, as previously undetected brain damage from the previous incident began to manifest. His piloting abilities were impaired to such an extent that flying in a combat role became impossible. To the insistence of Deneth Aleski, his superiors recommended for him to be transferred to an administrative unit rather than facing discharge from military service. Finally, he was formally transferred to the BAF 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 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. However, certain sources say he resigned due to health issues, allegations which remain unconfirmed. 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 given his chair at the Admiralty Board back. Weeks later, he was re-instated to the rank of Admiral, partly due to organizational needs. He serves as the Armed Forces' Military Liaison Officer, acting as the point of contact and coordination for all factions - military or civil - working against Royal Gallic forces.
Ships
Because of accumulated head injuries sustained both in combat and in non-combat related military service, Admiral Deneth Aleski was declared unfit for combat and is thus prohibited from piloting any strike craft. Similarly, because of his leadership role in the Armed Forces' bureaucracy, the officer only rarely commands capital vessels.
Former ships
- Falcon - CTE-3000 Civilian Heavy Fighter: Aleski's former personal ship. Fate: Sold in August 818 A.S. to a freelancer of unknown origins. Sale is registered to have taken place on Planet New London.
- Wraith - 90-ARKM-N45 Rheinland Very Heavy Fighter: Rheinwehr-issued. Fate: Unknown, presumably under Red Hessian Army custody.
- Odin - RH-GM40 Red Hessian Very Heavy Fighter: RHA-issued fighter. Fate: Registered by Central Leeds Planetary Spaceport authorities soon after Deneth Aleski defected to Bretonia. Kept in storage for two weeks there. Subsequently transferred to Winchester Station for technical inspection on orders of the Armed Forces Special Research Group. Craft was then fully dismantled for reverse-engineering and then sent to an undisclosed location for further evaluation. Was used briefly by the Queen Carina's Academy for training purposes. The craft was finally dismantled and melted.
- Templar - B-1290 Bretonia Very Heavy Fighter: BAF-issued fighter. Given back to the BAF upon release from military service.
