APPEARANCE
​

Alasdair stands tall and lean at approximately 6'1 and 170 pounds, with the piercing blue eyes of his mother and sister, muscular but not overly so. He tends to wear your typical imperial officer uniforms, although sometimes he will modify them depending on the climate, e.g. adding fur if it is particularly cold, and is almost never out of them as he is constantly on duty. Previously clean-shaven, his years of exile under Emperor Kilran has seen him grow out a rough beard which he maintains occasionally, a sign of the stress that he has been under along with bags under his eyes.

BIOGRAPHY
​

Alasdair was "born" much like his sister, a result of genetic engineering from his mother's DNA. Unlike his sister, however, he suspects he was considered to be something of a "failure" for having a relatively low M-count and being unable to use the Force, although he knew his mother would never tell him that and tried the best she could to show her love to him, although most of her time was dedicated to raising Tella due to the importance of intervening early in a Force Sensitive's life. Alasdair was thus largely raised through various tutors and mercenary leaders and allowed to explore more of the galaxy than his sister, as he was relatively unremarkable aside from his hair and eyes.

He served in various mercenary groups during the ending years of the Great Collapse of most galactic factions, insisting that he work his way up from the ground up, and while he was not Force Sensitive, he was intelligent, cautious, and when necessary, brave, which saw him advance through the ranks quickly. By the time his mother was ready to establish the Empire of the Lost, he had already been promoted to starship officer in command of small groups of ships, and it was relatively trivial for him to make the leap from there to medium and even large formations as Commodore.

Since joining the Empire, he has ferreted out and destroyed various pirates, rebels, and even engaged Malorn Sularen in a conflict that ultimately ended in a tactical stalemate and mild strategic victory. With the covert assassination attempt and exiling of the Volands by Emperor Vilran, he has continued gotten rougher and harder around the edges, which has served to endear him with his men, and he has focused on developing the resources of IMPs, the family company, outside the Empire. With the return of his family, he has been focused on rebuilding fleets and armies loyal to their family and faction, and preparing campaigns against the Tingle Arm Coalition.
