Appearance notes: Moff Rulduk is relatively young for an
Imperial Moff, and makes no attempt to disguise that fact. He has
a smooth, unlined face, and an engaging smile, which often serve to
conceal the brilliant mind behind them.
Clothing:
Moff Rulduk tends to wear the uniform of an Imperial Moff at
all times, and will wear his full dress uniform whenever it would
be considered appropriate.
Retainers, henchmen, and associates:
Moff Rulduk makes friends easily, and does not scruple about
having those friends killed off when it seems necessary. He is
currently quite close with the Bounty Hunter Shiva Isel, who is
also his sometimes mistress. Some of his other friends out of the
Imperial hierarchy include a Durgur
Clansman named Ul Gan Ur, who serves as his personal bodyguard, a
pair of assassin twins named Seldon and Rana Asthere, and a Pirate
Chieftain named Koras Alaigaber (who, probably unknown to Moff
Rulduk, is a Shadow Dragon Master). In
addition, Moff Rulduk tends to make friends with the various
representatives of the alien races under his control, and uses them
to keep their people subservient. Finally, he has a number of
friends among the lower ranks of his fleets, and he uses them to
spy on the actions of their superiors.
Common haunts and habitues:
Moff Rulduk tends to spend much of his time in his officies and
estates on Mar Umayas, but he refuses to allow himself to be
limited to that location exclusively, and will occasionaly make
tours of inspection of Imperium facilities across the sector.
History:
Originally a planetary governor, Rulduk transferred into the
military for reasons known only to himself. One of the younger
Star Destroyer Captains serving in Moff Doran's fleet, Moff Rulduk
saw a good deal of action during the Yaeger War, and his ship, the
Flame Arrow, was one of the few ships to survive the Battle
of Oth'Lenar. Captain Nymara Kent, the most senior of the captains
that survived the battle took control of that fleet, and Rulduk
immediately pledged allegiance to him. However, as soon as it
became apparent that the fleet was disintegrating, Rulduk made
plans to take control of the Sector for himself. The one undamaged
Imperial force, the 45 Star Destroyer fleet that had been sent as
reinforcement, was still loyal to Moff Kent, and Rulduk made sure
to get command of that fleet, which he did by giving an enormous
bribe to the corrupt and incapable Kent.
As soon as the Imperial chain of command started to fragment,
with General Yaud Tirgif declaring himself Moff, Rulduk withdrew
from the action, continuing his pursuit of the Ghost Fleet, that he
had by then discovered to be harmless. After three years away from
the Imperial Sphere, Rulduk returned, and pledged his services to
one of the more powerful petty lords, Grand Admiral Brandon Yss.
Admiral Yss used Rulduk with great success against his foes, but
soon developed an unfortunate addiction to Yaeger dreamgrass, and
died of an overdose. Rulduk was acknowledged as his successor, but
did not take his title. Instead, he took the somewhat less
ambitious title of Moff, but unlike many with wider reaching
titles, Moff Rulduk was determined to enforce his title to it's
full measure; complete control of the Yaeger sector.
Once ensconced as Yss's successor, Moff Rulduk slowly started
consolidating his rule, leading his opponents to believe that they
were using him against each other, while he drained off their
resources into his own fleet. Since he has taken over more than
half of the Imperial space, he is now the single most important
imperial player on the Yaeger gameboard. Peace with the Yaeger is
one of his more important goals, and as he can't impose terms on
them, he may be forced into accepting their terms. However, his
eventual goal is domination of the Sector, and then the rest of the
galaxy, and Yaeger independence is something that he plans to
eradicate, one way or the other.
Personality:
Moff Rulduk is urbane, charming, sophisticated, and utterly
ruthless. What he wants, he gets, if not immediately. He is also
a brilliant strategist and tactician, and is one of the few
Imperials that understands Yaeger swirling tactics at all, and has
won several battles against Yaeger ships, though he has not sought
any great battles against the Yaeger lately, as he is trying to
bring them to the bargaining table.
A quote:
"Please, sit down. Drink? Are you sure? I have a new bottle
of one of the finest of the local vintages, nothing as good as you
may have enjoyed back at the Core, but still quite interesting.
Now, I've heard something rather disturbing reports about a rebel
cell operating from your command..."
