Biography

Early Life

Everard de Montfort was born Year -16, Day 173 to Mr. and Mrs. Amaury de Montfort in the Ambassadorial Sector of Coruscant. Unfortunately his mother had 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 before family. With the loss of his wife he found it difficult to cope with his new responsibilities and hired many nannies to take care of Everard. It took a few years but eventually Amaury was able to find time with work to properly take care of his son. One of Everard's earliest recollections is evening when his father taught him the family motto, "A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions." These words would later have a profound effect on Everard in his career and more importantly in himself.

The de Montfort Family apartment in 500 Republica.

Everard's father, a successful banker, early in Everard's life concluded a major deal and in gratitude by the company, was given an apartment in 500 Republica, a luxurious apartment complex in the Ambassadorial Sector. It was here that Everard spent his earliest years playing amongst the other children in the building and where he got his first glimpse of what ambitious men stand to achieve from success.

When Everard was 10, his parents hired Tar Coses, a philosopher and tutor to teach Everard the basics of grammar, philosophy, history and politics. It was during this time that Everard began to gain an interest in politics and in political philosophy. As soon as he was old enough 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 there he was able to learn how the government but more importantly how to successfully navigate the bureaucracy to meet his goals and ambitions.

A Risky Venture

Everard and the blistmok on Spira.

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 in life and more importantly - himself.

His friends being the adventurous bunch they were decided to go off the protected pathway and explore the jungle themselves. 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 of leave very close to their camp. As he stood up a blistmok walked out and looked Everard straight in the eye. Having read a Spira survival book he knew not to move and to just keep staring at the blistmok in the eye.

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 still in shock, dropped to the ground 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.

Life as an Imperial

Imperial Academy

Everard joined the Raithal branch of the Imperial Academy when he was 18. He was placed under the supervision of 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 the material was brand new to him and he stumbled in that subject for the first few years. Never one to give up however, he worked hard and with the help of his cadet buddies, he was able to get his combat skills up to par and did relatively well in that subject from that moment on.

It was after all the final exams had been taken that the Assistant Dean summoned Everard to his office to discuss his progress and grades. He announced that Everard had passed with a 96% 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 the Corporate Sector 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.

Career

Everard flew out to the Corporate Sector and works as part of the sector staff to govern and maintain the planets under Imperial control. He continues to serve here today with the other members of sector staff.
