Summary​

Proper, cool, and collected, Alistair Blagden stands as the picture of unpretentious refined elegance. Standing 6’1”, he presents a subtle air of confidence and speaks with tactful eloquence and intent. An expression of near poker-faced contentment and interest perfectly masks the powerful ambition that drives him. But Alistair does have a strong ego and feels entitled to better things - he was, after all, raised to usher in a new age of the Empire. What truly irritates him are others that lack the motivation, vision, or intelligence to understand his plans for a greater Empire - doubly so if they even berate him with their misunderstanding or tiny worldview.

Alistair has great plans for the Empire. Step by step, piece by piece, he will see his Grand Design to fruition.

Biography​

Born into the well-off Blagden family that had made its fortunes in the markets of Columex, Alistair was raised as an Imperial citizen and received advanced supplemental tutoring in his studies. While a merchant family first and foremost, his parents wished greater things for their only son, raising him instead to be a politician to better serve the Empire - a role he has acclimated to excellently.

While he presented sensitivity to the Force at a young age, his family’s influence and careful planning allowed him to be bypassed by Imperial Knight recruitment.

While the task of overseeing the bustling trade hub of his home planet would be a daunting challenge, it was one he met handily, setting his sights on even greater things to come.

Skills and Possessions​

Despite being Force-sensitive, Alistair never underwent the Imperial Knights’ rigorous training. Instead, he has cultured his ability to both glean others’ surface feelings and also shield his own thoughts and emotions from other prying empaths. While capable of minor telekinetic feats, he is unlikely to use the Force in combat.

His true areas of expertise lie in government, economics, social studies, and diplomacy. Having a keen mind and sharp eye for detail, Alistair is very insightful and can read body language better than most.

Alistair has trained enough with a blaster to be able to hit a target reliably.
