Before long he was approached to take up an academic post as a teacher within one of the Directorates Universities, a position in which he would serve for nearly ten years. Whilst doing this, he volunteered to work with the Directorates security teams, overseeing parts of the drone defence detachments that policed Directorate Space. Undertaking combat training during his tenure as a volunteer, he 'graduated' to become a junior officer, attracting the attention of the Directorates Government.
Soon, he was asked to run for station Director-General, in his early thirties, winning the selection process and serving three full terms as Director-General, before being asked by the Directorates Overseer to serve as the Governments representative to the Galactic Senate and Free World Alliance. Seldon has served in this position ever since.
Personality & Traits
Salvor Seldon was a highly intelligent man, noted for his perfectionism and attention to detail. Well-versed in a range of sciences, such as engineering and theoretical physics, he was held numerous qualifications in various fields, with a particular focus on advanced engineering and mathematics. His background as part of one of the many scientific research and development labs of the Cormin Directorate saw him at the forefront of technological advancement for much of his early life, benefitting from learning under the greatest minds in his field.
As a scientist, his skills in the field were beyond doubt. Despite this, he came across as a humble and unassuming man, always interested in what others had to say and bring to a conversation. Taking issues as they came, he approached complex political issues with a forward-thinking, evidence-based method, owing to his scientific training. Having served in the government of the Directorate for nearly a decade, he had been shaped by their style of doing things, and as such was a technocrat to the core.
Willing to place himself in danger for the furtherance of his work, or for a cause in which he believed, he would risk his own life to help others if needed. However, Seldon possessed a ruthless side as well, favouring scientific methods that would yield the swiftest results, which made him a keen tactician in more combative areas of study.
Seldon was a human male, who was of average physical height and weight. In his mid-fifties, he had thin white hair. Frequently ensuring he dressed in a professional manner, Seldon spoke in a calm and collected manner. He was not force sensitive.
