As usual for me this is incomplete and more for the interest in creating a character then using him in a game.

Captain Sir James Zamoyski Terran Imperial Consul, Planet Avalon.
TL 11
Setting Technic History
Genre: Space Opera

Many Imperial consuls are chosen haphazardly for bureaucratic reasons. Captain James Zamoyski was chosen specifically to fit. He served on the Imperial border, and won a reputation for his skill in tribal politics and gunboat diplomacy. He was noted for his ability to maintain a proper understanding of native cultures, while remaining steadfast in his duty to the Empire. During the Terran-Ythrian war, Zamoyski distinguished himself by first destroying a Ythrian ship and then, at the risk of his ship, his crew, and his own life he took the time to rescue survivors from the dying wreck of his opponent amid a crossfire from the rival fleets. In the peace negotiations he was specifically requested as the first postbellum consul on Avalon. More active then many in the role he has been noted for taking personal visits to both the human and Ythrian leadership. Despite the blandness of the term "Consul", he is also an important figure of Terran intelligence and maintains a network of informers keeping an eye on Mereseian influences in the Domain.
