History

The names of exact governments,factions,planets,and military rankings are withheld to protect the innocent and to keep from implicating those still in power.

Magnus Billings was born an ordinary child,to an ordinary family.His schooling was perhaps best described as below par as his family did not have the proper wealth needed to provide the best in schools.They made up for this by supplying Magnus with books and holotapes that they could afford.Magnus developed a thirst for history,and in military engagements in particular.By the age of 8 he had completely filled the contents of several liquid crystal hard drives on his fathers computer with the history of almost every known battle and military leader across half the galaxy.This had intrigued his father who spent his bonuses from work on constant upgrades for their computer.He began to purchase strategic simulators and computer wargames that Magnus seemed to revel in.By the age of 12 Magnus was competing against some of the best minds on the galaxywide web in simulated strategic warfare.This gained him a reputation,and also gained the attention of military minds who saw a use in his talents.

By the age of 14 his father had recieved several mysterious promotions at the factory where he worked building speeders.His family was now more financially sound and he was provided with better schooling.At home he was provided with newer computers,with greater capacity and better programs on which to hone his talents.Through this short period though,Magnus had seen a change in his father,seen a look of worry on his face at times as well as noticing an increase in stress when he returned home from work.At the age of 15,his father died in a freak speeder accident coming home from work one evening which tossed Magnus into darkness.He had lost his father,his best friend,the man who taught him about life.For the next year he and his mother easily managed to survive on the enormous insurance policy that his father mysteriously had,an insurance policy that even his own wife and child had no knowledge of.By the age of 16 he had graduated from school with slightly elevated scores,nothing impressive,yet he was approached to join the military shortly after.He refused as his mother had difficulty in moving on from his fathers death and he was needed at home for her to keep her sanity intact.He taught himself how to pilot a speeder and would make several trips per week through town to buy what food they needed.Returning home from one of these trips he found his home ablaze with his mother trapped within.The Fire/Rescue personel were delayed several times in responding to the call and by the time the fire was contained there was nothing left of his home and life.The official cause was a faulty lighting fixture which started the blaze.

He was taken in by friends and shortly after this he was approached again by the military.He accepted.By the age of 20 he had been involved in 42 battles and was wounded 22 times although never seriously enough to keep him out of action.His friends were few as he was constantly being transferred to more experienced units year after year.He eventually found his home with an elite marine battalion and slowly climbed up in rank.He retained control over this elite unit,and continued through many campaigns with them as his personal guard.Within the short span of his career,many foreign governments had placed bounties on his head.

By the age of 40,Magnus had lost count of the battles he had been involved in,yet the military didn't,and they fully realized how wealthy his 392 engagements had made their government.Throughout his career he had lost very few battles,and the enemy paid dearly in lives and equipment for them.The bounty on his head had far exceeded 1,000,000 credits,yet the foreign governments who had placed those bounties were soon taken over by the military who had employed Magnus.By age 42 the few friends Magnus had were as close to him as blood relatives and his elite marines followed orders given only by him.They would die to the last man for him,and would follow him to hell itself if he commanded it.

His friends were all involved in one facet or the next in government,all of them having met him while in the military.One of these friends had stumbled onto his personel files while undertaking routine security checks on the governments computer systems,and the grim truth of his parents demise was uncovered.The information was duplicated and sent to Magnus.

During the course of the following year Magnus planned and plotted.Those who had been involved in the shaping of his life and the death of his family had attained ranks and positions in the government which had scattered them across several differant systems.The opportunity to strike was approaching though as the government had planned proceedings with all system and departmental heads concerning involvement with the Trade Federation at the Capitol.Magnus made sure all those who had been involved in his grim past were invited to these proceedings.

His elite battalion,5 companies and 1000 strong,were called in to provide security as rumors had begun to circulate of a possible coup.The day of the proceedings his unit was placed within the huge auditorium,and uneasiness crept over him as they found it empty.Thousands of troops had begun to amass outside,and he realized at that moment his real worth to the government.His troops were ordered to stand down and he was to surrender himself immediately.Magnus looked into the faces of his officers,the men and women under their command,and was prepared to surrender to save their lives.He had been double crossed.

"Well sir,should we accept their surrender now ?" His 2nd in command asked jokingly as he surveyed the troops massing outside.Their numbers had increased and roughly 15,000 soldiers with weapons at the ready surrounded the complex.

"I don't want these people to die for me,this isnt needed."Magnus replied as he looked at the faces of his loyal troops.

"Sir begging your pardon,but everyday of their lives these people would die for you.We will not be commanded by another,nor will we surrender.You are the General,and it is you whom we follow."

The military minds controlling the forces outside the auditorium did not want Magnus alive.Their secrets had been revealed and now he was useless to them.They gave no second chance at asking him to surrender and an attack was immediately called.Over the course of 2 days the assaulting forces continued to batter at the auditorium,gaining headway only after several armored units had made an appearance.Magnus however refused to make any further plans on a valid defense of this crumbling structure,and gathering the remaining 550 members of his elite unit,he launched a counter attack to break free.Ammo and supplies were running low,his unit was now fighting for freedom as well as survival.

His choice of where to strike on the enemy lines was a well calculated one,and once there his forces were able to supply themselves with the weapons of the fallen enemy.They pushed forward,and within hours overtook and attacked the command center that had been constructed for this operation.His actions were slowly coming to a close though,as with his counter attack he had left the semi secure confines of the auditorium.Confines which had protected him and his unit from the air power now being brought into play.A concussion missle struck close,knocking him to the ground and blurring his senses.Slipping from consciousness,he vaugely remembered his 2nd in command pulling off his jacket and going through his pockets for personal effects.

Magnus awoke 2 days later deep in the sewers beneath the capitol.Sewers which had been transformed in places into an underground city by the homeless.His 2nd in command lay close by,dead from loss of blood.Weeks passed as Magnus healed and gathered news of the battle which had taken place.His unit was destroyed to the last man,the battle ending shortly after Magnus had lost consciouness,with the few who were captured alive being executed before the sun set.Magnus however was reported as being killed,his uniform and personal belongings being identified on the remains of a soldier who had been mutilated beyond recognition.

Months passed before Magnus left the sewers,and several more months passed before he finally obtained new identification.Now as Glaeken Trimegestus,he traveled as far as he could from the government which had betrayed him and used him to make themselves financially sound.Traveled as far as possible from the sounds of the wounded and dieing on the battlefield.He tried several jobs,and settled with surveying as the solitude set him most at ease.He returned to gathering warfare simulations though,returned to using computers to test his strategic mind.In the end,he was most at home waging war in some fashion,and was awaiting the Final Battle.
