Early Life
Childhood
In a small village outpost in the jungles of Nimban, Alahav was born to Tolmin and Winsedda Andregar. He led a peculiar childhood, during which he showed some peculiar traits. The most noticeable was his lack of any speech until the age of four. He didn’t utter a single word to anyone else. His parents would have been concerned, except for the fact that they could hear him up at night talking to himself. The first words he uttered to another being were “Mom, we need to talk.” Although he couldn’t talk, Alahav was particularly good at non-verbal communication, and it was in this manner that his other traits exposed themselves. He possessed a very good memory and could point out patterns he noticed to his parents. Once he started talking to others, his childhood became fairly normal. His parents sent him to a boarding school in Nemar near the Nimban equator.
Schooling
At school he showed interest in both history and social sciences. He advanced through the grades and, because of the boarding school environment, eventually lost contact with his parents. No one could understand why he stopped communicating with them, although the best hypothesis was that he had become so engrossed with his studies that he lost interest in much else. Indeed, he did spend a lot of time reading the histories of the Old Republic, but his main interest was in bureaucracy. In his final years of schooling he studied the bureaucratic process thoroughly and wrote theories and papers on the subject. After graduating from the academy his interest moved off Nimban in search of employment.
Avance Coalition and Unemployment
Avance Coalition
His search for employment led him to the Avance Coalition. He was drawn to the Avance Coalition because of their generally organized structure and their role as a haven for stray sentient beings of the galaxy seeking protection and a safe and free home. Unfortunately, soon after his employment and acceptance into the Avance Coalition, Alahav became disappointed with the workings. He agreed with the haven aspect of the Coalition, but thought that more could be done to extend an open hand. What most disappointed Alahav was the rigidity of the noble house system of the Avance Coalition. While they accepted members from around the galaxy, it was difficult for that member to rise to a leadership status. Along with this concern, Alahav felt that the bureaucratic process within the Coalition was ineffective in that noble status quite often trumped political rank. After one year with the Avance Coalition, Alahav peacefully and quietly left.
Freelance
During his absence from employment, Alahav spent most of his time theorizing about bureaucracy. He was more or less inactive in all other endeavors during this one year length of time. Alahav did not publish any essays during this time, although it is estimated that he wrote between four and six.
Trade Federation
Training
After a year of writing and thought, Alahav decided to have a go at formal government again. He contacted the Trade Federation for employment and to his delight, was quickly granted a response from Isabella D`Este who fostered him into the ranks of the Trade Federation. Upon entering, he was assigned to Xavier Dedoroff for his BTSE. He passed the exam with a very high score and asked to be placed in the diplomacy training program. It was at this time that Alahav really started to like Mr. Dedoroff, and took him on as a mentor of sorts. Early in his diplomacy training, Alahav showed only average promise. He scored very highly in politeness, but his knowledge of diplomatic process was below average, which is partly why he was interested in the training in the first place. Eventually his knowledge of government and specifically bureaucratic process became useful in the middle stages of his training. Alahav’s first two diplomatic assignments were to establish a Non-Aggression Pact with the Avance Coalition and the Kathol Republic. Alahav was finally granted the title of Diplomat after four months of training, and was appointed Ambassador to the Falleen Federation shortly thereafter.
Ministry of the Interior
While in diplomatic training, Alahav was informed that men were needed in the Department of Logistics and accepted a position working primarily in ship transport, with the mindset of if the Trade Federation asks it, I will provide it. This became Alahav’s mantra, which he employs with utmost loyalty. While he did enjoy flying around the galaxy and piloting various types of ships, Alahav much preferred a simple and stationary office job. After completing Diplomacy Training, and appointment to the position of Director of Recruitment, Alahav was formally relieved of his Logistics duties.
Director of Recruitment
During a particularly dry time for finding new recruits, Alahav volunteered to help out in whatever way he could for the Department of Recruitment. He started by drafting a new recruitment letter to be sent out en masse to persons throughout the galaxy. He also helped by sending the letters and actually started processing new recruits, based on standards defined by Xavier Dedoroff. A few months later, the then-Director of Recruitment JoCon Illmar resigned for personal reasons and Alahav was promoted to Director of Recruitment. He's worked since this promotion to standardize and normalize the entire recruitment process to maximize the total number of recruits entering the Trade Federation and CIS.
