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. Sadly, 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 and with the loss of his wife he found it difficult to cope with his new found parenting responsibilities and hired nannies and other help to take care of Everard.

The de Montfort Family apartment in 500 Republica.

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 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 in himself.

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 privileged 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 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.

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 poked its head 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 somewhat 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.

Imperial Academy

Everard during his time at the 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 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, 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 the orders. Everard then returned to his quarters and viewed the rest of his 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.

A few days later the shuttle arrived at its destination. Everard was unaware that he 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 Regional Government 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 Regional Government employee to the government building where Everard would begin his career and first assignment.
