Character
Name: Maximilian Jens
Homeworld: Galidraan
Alias: Prowler Eight (Squadron callsign)
Age:27
Faction: Sith Empire
Rank: Lieutenant
Species: Human
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 165 lbs.
Hair Color: Dirty blonde
Eye Color: Blue
Skin Color: Fair
Force-Sensitive: No
Personality: Maximilian is the quintessential aristocrat; he values honor and tradition in all aspects of his life. He follows a personal code of honor and chivalry, instilled by his noble roots, which includes conducting himself in a polite fashion during social gatherings, exhibiting exemplary manners, favoring a fair fight, and keeping his emotions held close to the chest, rarely letting his feelings outwardly overtake him in a public setting. This isn’t to say that Maximilian doesn’t have strong feelings; he does, but he considers losing one’s temper in public to be unbecoming and weak.
His personal code of beliefs is decidedly old-school, to the point of what some would consider bigoted. He espouses a firm humanocentric philosophy as many of his kind do, viewing most aliens as “lesser species” and positing human High Culture as the supreme culture of the galaxy, therefore justifying his belief that humans are the rightful rulers of the galaxy. His heirarchial view of the universe has led to a hatred for the Federation and democracy in general, which he deems an “anarchic mobocracy”, instead positing that true aristocracy, and the hierarchy of the Empire, is the best way to govern the galaxy. As a result, Maximilian is a staunch supporter of the Empire, his loyalty driving him to commit to the Imperial military.
Weaknesses and Strengths: Maximilian has a gift for the oratory, which, coupled with his noble lineage, makes him a born leader. He is easily able to use speechcraft to inspire and sway those around him. He also boasts a respectable amount of melee combat skill, as a Tapani saber rake being trained in the art of the vibrorapier. His personal ethos of honor, however, can easily be used against him. Maximilian loves the challenge of a fair fight – so much that he will take steps to even playing field with an opponent to relish in a greater victory, such as providing a weapon to an unarmed foe or not killing an unarmed adversary. This chivalric code could easily be taken advantage of by a more unscrupulous opponent who might seek to capitalize on his sense of fairness and mercy.

Biography: Maximilian Jens is the na-Baron of House Jens, and a Lieutenant in the Imperial Navy. He was born on Galidraan, the first of four children to Baron Grimauld and Baroness Agathane Jens. House Jens has been a long-standing supporter of the Empire in all its facets, harking back to the days of Palpatine’s Galactic Empire, when their great ancestor, General Marten Jens, was awarded a Barony on Galidraan for outstanding military service in the Imperial Army. As the heir-presumptive to his father’s Barony, Maximilian enjoyed a childhood with a silver spoon. He was always afforded the very best tutors and trainers during his childhood, and as a result grew to be a quick-witted young boy, if not a bit spoiled.
It was during his early teenage years that he began to develop an affinity for dueling, spurred on by the rising popularity of the “sport” amongst other nobles of the galaxy. Maximilian was trained in the art of swordsmanship by Stromm, a swordmaster of House Jens, and one day aspired to become a swordmaster himself. These aspirations were temporarily cut short at the age of sixteen, when an argument with another noble-born teenager escalated into a full-on duel, resulting in injuries to both parties. Maximilian, for his part, lost his left hand to his opponent’s blade, which had to be replaced with a cybernetic hand. After his parents initially forbid him from any further activities involving swordery, it wasn’t long at all until Maximilian went back to Stromm for training on the sly.
Maximilian enlisted in the Imperial Naval Academy at the age of 18. There he studied Naval tactics and strategy, and was recommended for the Flight Corps. During his time in the Academy, he received generally exemplary marks. After four years in the Academy Maximilian graduated with full honors and joined the Imperial Navy as an officer. He served aboard a number of different Star Destroyers, occasionally taking leave to administer the family estate. In recent years, in between service to the Empire in the Navy, Maximilian has taken more of an interest in Imperial politics and his royal title. He has begun seeking ways to consolidate power among the Imperial nobility, to ensure that the house will remain one of the strongest in the Empire.
