Axel Ixalite

  Axel was born many years ago, to moderately wealthy parents. Following his father's example, he attended Far Step naval academy, where he graduated Cum Laude. His naval career is still hailed as an example to junior officers, having risen to the rank of vice admiral in twenty years. He was present in some of the worst border actions of his day, and his first frigate command, the "Plum Blossom Snowflake" is still on display at Signi station as a memorial to the Plunging Deeps incident.   Today, Axel is the chairman of the Council of seven, and a well-respected political figure. Scandals occasionally arise, but councilor Ixalite has always come out smelling like a rose. He has a soft spot in his heart for junior officers with promise, and plays the patronage game shamelessly. Many a young officer owes his current career to the chairman's influence.
