Duke Bouris Ulgo
Bouris Ulgo, Duke Ulgo to most is the head of House Ulgo and a popular man on Alderaan. A war hero of the war against the Sith, his involvement was instrumental in repelling the invasion and keeping his world free. In return he was honored with one of the most lucrative marriage arrangements on Alderaan, his daughter and heir to the heir of House Panteer, cementing their union and effectively making them the most powerful houses on Alderaan.

This of course fell apart when Gaul Panteer backed out of the arrangement at the last minute and put the whole alliance into turmoil. Bouris has threatened war in retaliation for the slight and if not for the timely arrival and reinstatement of House Thul there would have been war. With House Thul backing the Panteers, he has had to be more diplomatic but tensions are still rising and war could still be on the horizon if he can’t get a union with the future heir of House Panteer whoever that will be. Many minor Houses have come to his banner and he has the public backing of House Rist.

Bouris is a large man, over 2 meters in height and built like a tank; he is a premier soldier even in his early sixties. A stern man, he treats his soldiers and people well and has their loyalty through his natural charisma and his heroic accomplishments. He has great pride in his daughter and has raised her to be a strong and tough woman, even purposefully putting obstacles in her path to better test her and prepare her for the future as a queen of Alderaan.

Princess Consort Valina Panteer
A trained assassin seems an odd match for a royal prince of Alderaan but Valina has never led a conventional life and never been one to do as expected. A member of a lesser branch of House Rist she caught the eye of Unther at a party some ten years ago and they have been inseparable ever since. She joined House Panteer as his wife nearly six years ago in a lavish ceremony during the Festival of a Thousand Flowers.

She serves in the Royal Guard officially but unofficially it is rumored she leads a Black Operations unit that exists off the books for House Panteer putting her unique skills to use for the family. When off-duty she tends to her own family and in latter years has taken to writing as a hobby but was encouraged to by her husband to release a novel and it was met with moderate success and she is now working on a second in the series, a series called the Dark Child Chronicles about an assassin turning her skills against her old masters.

She is a quiet and stern woman and tends to stay aloof of the politics swirling around her and focus on the threats to her family and House.

Agent Theron Shan
Theron has grown and matured and is now working as a rookie agent with the SIS under Agent Wren Yuris, he shows a lot of promise but still tends to go with his gut instead of following the rules. He is an expert slicer and trained in most forms of small arms and although his parents wish he chose a more sedate profession this is where he feels he can do the most good.

He feels the assignment to Alderaan will be pretty routine but while here he is going to try and get an idea of just what is going on with House Thul. It’s not supposed to be his mission but his gut tells him this is where the real action is.

Jedi Knight Thy Yulani
Thy should be a master but she has defied the Jedi Council on many occasions and is usually proven right but it has made her something of a loose cannon among their ranks and has stunted her progress. Her good friend Satele tries to council her and get her to see reason but Thy feels like the Council has lost its way and does things her way.

Despite that she tends to think before she acts now even if she tends to do things her way. She is on Alderaan because she knows that a civil war would be devastating to the Republic and would only help the reformed Empire and their newfound Empress.

Many on the Council feel she has gone rogue but Grand Master Satele Shan still trusts her judgment so she stays in good standing.

[Dapper Dog]

Jedi Knight Lunda Mae
Lunda has grown since her failings on Bankor, she thought herself one of the best and that nearly destroyed her. She spent a year in meditation on Tython before she felt sure of herself and then returned to her training and completed it and eventually became a Jedi Knight. She is no longer the smiling woman she used to be and her time alone has made her a more serious and dedicated Jedi.

She has grown physically and mentally and is now an accomplished Jedi Knight who follows the wisdom of the Council first. She understands the dark side better than most and knows how insidious the Sith can be and that has hardened her, made her understand that the galaxy can only know peace when the Sith philosophy is scoured from the galaxy. She now watches her fellow Jedi for signs of weakness and darkness, and has become quite good at seeing the signs long before anyone else.

She does not get along with Thy Yulani, who she feels is a dangerous element that reminds her too much of what she suffered at the hands of Darth Zash. When her Jedi sister falls she will be there to grant her the mercy of death; as they say there is no death there is only the Force.

Agent Wren Yuris
Wren is a veteran of more conflicts and hot zones than she cares to count and has now become one of the primary field trainers for new agents. She likes the role but her current charge is pushing her buttons, way too good and also way too much trouble at times. Theron is probably one of the best rookies she has seen in years but the problem is that he knows he is good and that arrogance might get him into trouble and that trouble might get a lot of people killed.

As a woman she is a cipher, off work she has few friends and she has been in the Intelligence for the majority of her adult life and that tends to warp her view of people. She really has no social life something she does not realize as she tends to fill her time with work and the next assignment but the pressure is building and she might need a release or maybe she just needs the next assignment.

Her mission on Alderaan is to work as an attache of Organa and keep the peace.

[Dapper Dog]

Duchess Giandra Rist
House Rist is a well-respected House because they provide a vital service for all the major and lesser houses. The service of murder. A House a skilled assassins, one would think would be out of place on Alderaan but they are the height of fashion. They hold to their contracts and provide discrete services. Every House at some point has had to employ their services which would mean they have a lot of enemies and they do but they also control a lot of secrets which stays the hand of the more overzealous allies because they could reveal a lot of skeletons that no one wants out in the light.

Currently allied to House Ulgo, they serve as the underhand to Ulgo’s military strength. They prefer to strike from the shadows and do not field a massive military presence since they rely on asymmetrical warfare and assassination to cripple enemies. Giandra Rist has ruled the family for the last fifteen years and is as ruthless as she is skilled. She made her name in the field but when her mother retired, she took over and has been working on making the family influential and wealthy. It is rumored the alliance with Ulgo is one of opportunity and if a better deal came along, they would take it, given the right incentive.

Yil Kumos.jpg (16.13 KiB) Viewed 2030 times

Jedi Padawan Yil Kumos
Yil is by training and nature a glorified scribe and scholar, she prefers working with books and artifacts than people and likes history. She does not seek to engage in conflict and even though she can wield a lightsaber with moderate competency she prefers to use her mind and words.

Even as a Padawan she is a lead researcher and assistant at the Alde Royal History Museum, and she tries to balance her life as a Jedi with her life as a scholar often erring on the side of scholarship. Alderaan has been a great assignment and she looks forward to seeing this festival.

Lady Massacre.jpg (22.61 KiB) Viewed 2000 times

Lady Massacre
Like many in House Thul, she holds claim to be pure blooded Alderaanian but was born offworld by all accounts. She is the de facto leader of the Blackguard who act as the Honor Guard of the Thul elite and their enforcers when violence must be used to cow their enemies. Said to have been trained by an ex-Sith, she has shown abilities that are often attributed to Sith and even wields a lightsaber, though among the Blackguard she seems to be the only one that has done so.

But the rest all seem to show abilities that verge on the superhuman and most Jedi suspect they are Force users who may be dangerously close to the Dark Side, if not already consumed. They wear black and are rarely unarmed.

Not much is known of Lady Massacre personally b\other than her fierce allegiance to Ziandra Thul and the fortunes of the House. It is known they hold to the Code of the Blackguard, but what that is outside of the group is unknown. It does seem to emulate a warrior code of service and violence and even a claim to Honor through service. Yet they also entrap themselves in vicious intimidating armor and weapons and have given no mercy to the enemies of Thul.

In the specific Lady Massacre stands as the first of them, and is always at the side of her mistress in public. By Thul’s close association with Panteer they have leave to be armed and armored at the festival grounds.
