Age:
523
Gender:
Male
Race:
Zarethian
Place Of Birth:
Letol, Zarethian colony
OCCUPATION:
Grand Admiral of the Zarethian Fleet
Personality:
Addler hard to describe. He can be a military and political hardass. He can also be lenient to those who break or bend the rules. For the most part though, he keeps a serious demeanor in public and only lets close friends see his more relaxed or emotional side. Its because of this general stoicism that he has earned a reputation for cool, calm control even during battle.
In battle, he is a brilliant tactician and strategist. He can come up with ingenious stratagems on the spot on the bridge of his ship. He commands the undying loyalty of his crew and is a legend amongst Zarethians. He has a soft side for children, like his grandchildren, and often will go out of his way to help them. He also cares for the men and women under his command, though he wont often show it. He lost a lot when the Lorcar attacked and he now knows to value what he has.
This means he is very, very pragmatic. He dislikes having to deal with the scheming of politicians or other manipulative individuals. He will do anything he can to ensure that the Zarethian Empire and its people survive and thrive. If this means allying with past enemies to keep the Zarethians safe, he will bear no stigma to them and accept them. He is perhaps, the most pragmatic Zarethian in a high rank.
Alliance:
Zarethian Empire
Biography:
Addler was born at the Zarethian Empire's height. Aser had just made his reforms and was steering them in a new direction of benign dominance. However, seeing as he was just born, he didnt know any of this. He was born on the colony of Letol, in the outermost rims of the Zarethian space. It was an early colonization effort on a large planet. Eventually Letol got larger, but it was never much of a well known area.
His parents were agricultural workers who had limited magical abilities. They used these abilities to help their crops grow and flourish. It was a hard life with many dangers. Wild animals, bandits, pirates and crop failure were all problems. Addler was lucky though, his earlier life was easier than most. Their crops were good and there werent many pirates around.
At the ripe old age of 50 he went to the capitol for a fleet military convention. He was thinking of joining. While he was in capitol, his parents farm, which had grown fairly large, was attacked and raided by pirates. Satisfied with the convention, Addler returned home to the farm he had left only to discover the awful truth. Saddened by his loss and having nothing to return to, he joined the fleet.
Throughout the years he went up in the ranks, getting to be the captain of his own corvette in ten years, then a capitol in twenty more. At the age of 120 he married and had twins, a son and a daughter when he was 220. He was a happy man who lived for each day. This continued for a few years until he was two hundred years old. His son had joined the military and his wife was on another far reaching planet in Zarethian Space when the Lorcar attacked. They quickly devastated the planet, all were lost and no communications were sent out. It took three months for the fleet to send a search mission. All they found was a barren marble in space.
Addler was struck with grief at this. He began to drink, a little here and there at first. Then it became a full blown problem. His daughter talked him out of it and he returned to military service. His daughter had become the leader of a military frigate and was considered an expert captain for someone so young, just like Addler himself.
The Lorcar began to attack and with each successive attack, the fleet dwindled and retreated. Eventually Addler was one of the highest ranking people left and was promoted to the titan commander. He order full evacuation of the Zarethian's remaining worlds and ordered the fleet to flee. Because of the situation at hand and his reputation, they did as he commanded, miraculously. They had escaped the Lorcar and fled for three hundred years.
In this time, they found no possible planets for colonization, due to the differing factors of obsolete star charts, unseen spacial areas and uninhabitable but terran planets. They were unable to bring terraforming tech to they couldnt do that. During this time, Addler and his daughter had an argument about the planet situation. Eventually, his daughter left and took several ships with her. Addler was greatly troubled by this loss but he focused even more in finding his people a home.
Fifty years after his son left, the Zarethians made a deal with the Aralangs, finally finding a planet to call their own. Addler relinquished his emergency authority and then was appointed the Hand of the Council. To this day he defends his empire with his greatest efforts.
