Personal History: Born on Planet Leeds as the eldest of five siblings to an active duty BAF Navy officer, and his wife, a historical researcher. He would excel in school, raised to follow his father's example and enter the BAF. His family moved quite a bit, traveling from station to station as they followed their father's career, leading to him become incredibly close to his family, and his sister Simetra especially. The Nomad war affected him little, although it deeply disturbed his father that the Bretonian navy could be so easily subverted. On his 18th birthday, he enlisted in the BAF, graduating from the Academy with top marks in Command, being fast tracked to command his own small gunboat upon entering the field, much to his family's great pride.
Here he participated in a number of campaigns, including the M---- -------- -----, C------- --------, B----- -- ------ -----, T-- ------ ----- --------- -------, V-- ---- ---- ------, F---- -------- -------, G------ ----- ------- -------, and the T-- -- ---- ----- -------. He steadily moved up the ranks of the BAF throughout his long and well decorated career, ending it in command of the BAF Churchill, a distinguished front line destroyer. He also participated in the defense of Leeds, leading a number of forays into the Kusari lines to great effect, receiving a number of commendations for his actions. Following the battle however, he heard of the death of his parents, who had been returning to Leeds from a trip to Tau-31 when the attack came. They had been destroyed accidentally by a zealous Kusari commander that mistook their small personnel transport for a troop transport. This small act ended his career, and his disgust over the waste of the battle, which lead to the needless deaths of so many, lead to him resigning his commission and disappearing with his sister for some time.
He has recently resurfaced in Bretonia and Liberty as the head of a small organization going by the name of the Exchange. This organization is Zoner in origin, and it's goals are mostly unclear, although for the time being they seem to engage in lucrative multi-house trade using a small fleet of trading vessels supported by a well armed squadron of fighter's and gunboats.
