— The de Montfort Family motto.


Lt. Governor Everard de Montfort (Born Year -35, Day 173), is a human male and career politician who currently serves in the Regional Government of the Galactic Empire. After graduating from the Imperial Academy with honours he was assigned to the Corporate Sector where he continues to work today.


Biography

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 and with the loss of his wife he found his new found 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 some attention and educate him. 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." These words would later have a profound effect on Everard in his career and more importantly on himself.

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. 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 and where he got his first glimpse of what ambitious men stand to achieve from success and hard work.

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 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

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 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.

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 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. It would seem that the Moff of the sector in which he was being deployed wished for him to have an expedited journey to his new place of assignment. Having stored his belongings in the cabin prepared for him, Everard spoke to the ship's captain who gave him the second half of his orders. Everard then returned to his quarters and viewed the rest of the orders on the encrypted datapad. It would seem that 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.

"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 assignment.

The Beginning of a Long Tenure

After disembarking the shuttle, the young assistant was led into the grand halls of the capitol building in Kaas City. There he was ushered to a waiting hall with a number of other beings - most human but a large minority being of alien species. Everard checked in with the secretary before taking a seat beside a nervous looking local city councilman. (Work in Progress)
