His mother died due to complications during childbirth and Everard was left with just his father to raise him. A hard man, Amaury was much more used to putting his work and duties before family. With the loss of his wife he found his new parenting responsibilities overwhelming. To cope, he hired nannies and other servants to help raise and see to Everard's education. | ||

Early Life

Everard de Montfort was born Year -16, Day 173 in Cinnagar, the capital city of Empress Teta to Amaury and Eleanor de Montfort. His mother died due to complications during childbirth and Everard was left with just his father to raise him. A hard man, Amaury was much more used to putting his work and duties before family. With the loss of his wife he found his new parenting responsibilities overwhelming. To cope, he hired nannies and other servants to help raise and see to Everard's education.

Eventually, Amaury was able to find the time to properly give his son the attention that children require. One of Everard's earliest recollections is the evening when his father taught him the family motto, "A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions."[1] These words would later have a profound effect on Everard in his career and more importantly on himself throughout life.
Everard's father, a successful banker and noble of Empress Teta, soon after Everard's birth had concluded a major banking deal. In gratitude, the company rewarded Amaury with an apartment in 500 Republica, a luxurious apartment complex in the Ambassadorial Sector.[2] This eventually became the family's primary residence. It was here rather than the sprawling gardens of the family estate on Empress Teta that Everard spent his earliest years. Playing amongst the other privileged children in the building was where he got his first glimpse of what ambitious men stand to achieve from success, hard work, and dedication.
When Everard was 10, his parents hired Tar Coses, a philosopher and tutor to teach Everard the basics of grammar, philosophy, history and politics.[3] It was during this time that Everard began to gain an interest in politics and in political philosophy. As soon as he was of age he joined the Sub-Adult Group (SAG) of COMPNOR. From there he was able to intern in the local government offices and support the Empire. It was one thing to learn about government and politics from a tutor, but an entirely different experience to learn first hand. From the internship he was able to learn not only how the government was really run, but more importantly how to successfully navigate the extensive bureaucracy to meet his goals and ambitions and fulfill his tasks.
Everard applied for the Raithal branch of the Imperial Academy when he was 18. He was soon after accepted. Before leaving, his friends treated Everard to one last trip together before they parted ways. They went to Spira in the Lytton sector, a beautiful tropical resort world with amazing beaches. It was on a hike through the jungle that Everard would encounter a great threat that would drastically effect his attitudes later on life and more importantly - on himself.
His friends, being the adventurous bunch they were, decided to go off the protected pathway and explore the jungle themselves. Despite the danger it was more beautiful than they could ever imagine. Growing up on Coruscant they were unused to such an abundance of plant life and animals in one place. After a few hours of walking they came across a river. Tired from the days hiking, they dropped their gear and relaxed on the riverside. A few hours passed and most of the group was fast asleep when Everard heard a rustling in the foliage very close to their camp. As he stood up a blistmok poked its head out and looked Everard straight in the eyes. Having read a Spira survival book he knew not to move and to just keep eye contact with the blistmok.
After what felt like an eternity the blistmok screeched something foul then turned and ran back into the deep jungle. It was at that noise his friends woke up and started asking what had happened. Everard, exhausted and somewhat still in shock dropped to his knees and just stared off into the jungle not paying his friends any mind. All Everard could do was think about how close he was to a certain death. It was from this moment on that Everard swore never to be taken unawares and unprepared again. This mindset helped him immensely during his time at the Academy.
Imperial Academy
- "Fealty, Fidelity, and Service"
- — Imperial Academy motto
Everard joined the Raithal branch of the Imperial Academy when he was 18. He was placed under the supervision of then Assistant Dean Skyron Cyneran who would aid guide Everard throughout his time at the Academy. Everard naturally excelled at politics and history having gained a passion for those topics earlier in his life.

He did not however excel in combat training. Much of that subject was brand new to him and he struggled for the first few years. Never one to give up however, he worked hard and with the help of his cadet comrades, he was able to get his combat skills up to par and did relatively well in combat from that moment on. Surprisingly, Everard developed an aptitude for marksmanship and excelled at the rifleman trials.
It was at the close of the final semester and after all exams had been graded that the Assistant Dean summoned Everard to his office to discuss his progress and grades. He announced that Everard had passed his exams and would graduate with Honors. This news was surprising to Everard who had been worrying about whether he passed his combat finals. The Assistant Dean went on to say that a position had been found for Everard in one of the Imperial sectors and that he would be given the rank of Chief Planetary Assistant [E-3] upon graduation. Everard was overjoyed and prepared for his new career in the Regional Government.
Everard wasn't even two days out of the Academy when he received his deployment orders. The orders, which were delivered to him by a first-year Academy cadet, ordered Everard to head to the Eastport starport as soon as it was convenient with all essential belongings. Having received the orders, Everard packed up his belongings and called a service droid to carry them for him as he traveled to the starport. Though it took some time getting through customs and the various security measures, Everard finally managed to find the departing ship he was supposed to board.
Expecting to take a civilian AA-9 Transport, Everard was surprised to find a Lambda Shuttle waiting for him.

Everard then returned to his quarters and viewed the rest of the orders on the encrypted datapad. He was to administrate and oversee a newly conquered planet still reeling from its recent annexation by the Empire.
One would be lying to say that Everard was not nervous about his first assignment. It was, after all, the first time he had ever had to administrate a city let alone an entire planet – especially one that was recently annexed.
He thought about his new assignment a while longer before falling asleep in his small but comfortable cabin. Little did Everard know that the voyage to the Corporate Sector would be one of great peril for the young academy graduate.
A Turbulent Journey
The sudden drop from hyperspace and shudder of the ship from a high powered laser cannon hitting the deflector shields was enough to wake up Everard from his slumber and realize something was seriously wrong. He immediately rose from the bunk and hastily made his way to the cockpit, using the walls for support as the craft continued shuddering from laser blasts. The captain was giving orders to the pilots as Everard made his way into the cockpit.

Everard receiving the orders to retract the cannons. |
"Captain, what happened?" He asked in his thick Coruscanti accent. The captain, keeping his eyes on the holo-projector which was now streaming tactical information from the engaged Imperial vessels responded curtly, "Flew into a bloody skirmish, sir. Interdiction fields from the gravity well projectors took us out of hyperspace. Imperial flagship is transmitting new orders for us. Make yourself useful and get on the aft turret or those damn fighters will tear us to shreds!" Everard nodded and quickly made his way to the controls for the retractable aft R-T0 twin blaster cannons. He hastily put on the headset and surveyed the scanner for any hostile fighters coming up behind the shuttle.
Only a few moments later the red silhouette of an X-Wing appeared on his scanner. Adrenaline now pumping through his veins he aimed the cannons at the rebel fighter and fired a burst. Two bolts hit and were deflected by the X-Wing's deflector shield. Cursing under his breath Everard aimed again, the X-Wing now in range to fire its own cannons. Everard let out another burst of fire from the cannons and scored a direct hit, the X-Wing exploding into a firey cloud of debris.
The scanner indicated a large explosion within the enemy fleet as Everard breathed a sigh of relief at his kill. The captain's voice came over the comm system to indicate that the enemy interdiction vessel had been destroyed and that Everard should retract the aft cannons to prepare for the jump the hyperspace. Doing as ordered Everard retracted the turrets and returned to the cockpit as the shuttle jumped to hyperspace.
A few days later the shuttle arrived at its destination. Everard was unaware that they had even arrived as the only indication he was given was the moment of turbulence as the shuttle entered the atmosphere and the repulsors kicked into drive. Realizing how close to an end his journey was, he hurriedly packed his belongings and put on his newly tailored uniform. When the shuttle finally landed, Everard nodded to the captain and disembarked the shuttle that had been his home for the last few days. Everard's eyes squinted a little as they adjusted to the bright sunlight. An official that had been waiting for Everard to disembark approached and gave a hurried greeting before ushering the new Academy graduate to the government building where Everard would begin his career and first assignments.
Governor of Dromund System
It was after a year or so of conducting various sector duties that Everard was approached with a unique opportunity. With the transfer of former governor Skyron Cyneran to the Tapani Sector to take up the duties of Moff, the governor's position was open for the taking. Not content with the mid-level government positions he had acquired during his time in the sector, Everard moved quickly to secure his place at the top of the list of possible successors. In order to gather intelligence on the other candidates, Everard hired a private detective by the name of Adelaide Elliar, who he would later marry. With the help of Adelaide, Everard was able to maneuver himself to be the leading candidate by discrediting the competition and performing his duties in exceptional manner.
A few weeks after Moff Cyneran's transfer, Everard was summoned to the capitol building on Dromund Kaas. In a small ceremony attended by few high ranking officials, Everard was officially sworn in as the governor of Dromund System and received his new rank plaque. With the promotion came new responsibilities as he would not only have to juggle governorship of the expansive Dromund System, home to over a billion citizens, but also perform the duties of acting sector adjutant.
Political Views
Xenophobia
Everard maintains the humanocentric viewpoint that humans are genetically and physically superior to all other species. Since his early childhood on Empress Teta, Everard has developed a superior view of humans over the various inferior species of the galaxy and wholeheartedly supports the Empire's Species Policy. He opposes any efforts to promote the equality of species under the law and in Imperial society and frequently attempts to bypass Moff Jackson to pass legislation aimed to limit the rights of Class B and C citizens. His views have led to a frictional (and at times comical) relationship with the diathim Moff Jackson. While he maintains a view of human superiority, Everard acknowledges and respects Class B and C citizens that attempt to better themselves through hard work and dedication to the Empire.[4]
Aristocracy
Everard holds a favorable view of aristocracy and the rights of nobility and royalty. Growing up amongst the nobility of Empress Teta with the belief of being a descendant of Teta, Everard has developed a respect for the ancient custom and believes it to be superior to other forms of government. Learning and witnessing the faults and failures of democracies and republics throughout the galaxy has further strengthened this his views on the subject. Though relinquishing his own titles in compliance with Imperial law DGE-006, he maintains his views on aristocracy and hopes to one day acquire a title within the Empire.

Property
Dromund Kaas BC
On Year 15 Day 4, Everard concluded negotiations with the League Administration and Board of Directors to acquire the former Andromeda Ants boloball club from manager and owner Soren Cas. The deal, which is rumored to have included political favors and a plastic pink flamingo, has largely been kept confidential for the protection of Imperial assets and owner privacy. Upon purchase of the team it was relocated to Dromund Kaas and renamed Dromund Kaas BC. A month prior to the acquisition, Kaas City hosted the grand opening of Kaas City Field, a 120,000 seat stadium which now serves as the current home stadium of Dromund Kaas BC.

Personality

When not attending events he can usually be found in his office working or frequenting upscale bars, restaurants and museums. Everard is a family man but prefers to keep his family life private but as a high ranking figure in the sector much of his private life is made public through snooping and reporting by the various tabloids and local media - much to his annoyance. He strives towards remaining proper and formal when in public but can be relaxed and casual among friends.

Everard also enjoys research and study; lecturing at the Imperial Academy; attending official events, museums, concerts, and women.

He also dislikes non-humans, Class C citizens especially thanks to his humanocentric views. In addition, he dislikes dishonorable and untrustworthy individuals or those who violate the law.

Notes
- ↑ This motto actually comes from the stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius and was recorded in book XII of his Meditations, written in 167 AD.
- ↑ See 500 Republica.
- ↑ Tar Coses is actually an anagram of Socrates, an Ancient Greek philosopher credited with being one of the founder of Western philosophy.
- ↑ It is interesting to note that while Everard holds strong humanocentric views, he is frequently seen in friendship with Imperial and non-Imperial aliens of all classes. It would seem that he treats those he considers friends as equals regardless of species.
