| Dr. Anen Sonbef is a Laudean Émigré and a Medical Officer aboard the USS Excalibur-A. A man quick to smile, Anen is not a broody, stuck in the past exile and is a kind and caring man who is also a bit unorthodox, but on the tame side of the spectrum. Below the smile is a deeply philosophical man who is fascinated with questions of Life, Religion, Death and Existence itself.

Distinguishing Marks
Tone/VoiceQuick to smile and at ease in social situations, Anen is undaunted and happy, though is not peppy and he would never be considered 'annoying'. He is subdued in his joy and has a deeply philosophical side that most do not often get to see. Anen often tells it like it is, though he is measured and fair in doing so, often breaking open his 'ships stores' to level with a patient or a fellow officer. His accent is a sort of haughty, perfect one, to go along with his perfect smile. It carries well in all situations and is rather curious mixed with his happy spirit but sometimes poor command of Federation Standard. Some have said it's the voice of an angel, either a guardian one, or the heavenly voice of divine joy. He's also more than a bit mystical and eccentric, though these are manageable and well thought of traits, rather than a hindrance to his duties or annoyance to others. He doesn't particularly care for rank or title, favoring neither 'Doctor' or 'Lieutenant' over the other, hee would rather go by 'Anen' when possible, and sometimes demands it of close friends, regardless of situation. That being said though, most know him by 'Doctor Sonbef', or some variation there of. One thing he does not like being addressed as is 'Lord' or 'Anen of Imyremeshaw' (would it be that anyone could pronounce it). He also dislikes being called 'Sir' by his subordinates, favoring a neutral address like 'Doctor' or his rank. A profoundly powerful Fielder, Anen is very much in touch with the energy of the world around him and the people inhabiting it. His abilities have not isolated him though he sometimes struggles with describing an entire dimension of reality that others cannot perceive.

A kind man, sympathetic but firm in his convictions, Duanre was a good man, a good councilor and a good father. A moderate and liked by many, Duanre thought he could control the more violent movements of the Revolution. In doing so though, he missstepped, and drew the ire of the revolutionary gangs. Seeing that it was no longer safe, he sent his family away while he himself stayed behind to try and control the situation. In the last days of the Revolution, revolutionary gangs stormed the palace and slaughtered many of the nobles and government officials who remained, leaving only the immediate Royal Family unharmed. Many of the corpses could not be identified and many more were lost in the succeeding months. It is probable, though not confirmed, that Grand Vizier Duanre Sonbef is among the deceased.
A somewhat tragic figure, Princess Gautseshen, Lady Sonbef, was a widely admired figure in the days before the Revolution. Admired for her charity, hospitality and moderate political views, she was initially sympathetic to democratic stirrings. In full revolutionary fervor however, her own beliefs mattered little. Like the rest of her family, she was forced to flee for her life when the Revolution hit its most violent phase. Fleeing with her children along with most of the other high-ranking nobles and royals, she settled on Betazed. It was there that she learned of the probable death of her husband, and her descent into a deep depression quickened. Unable to comprehend such a betrayal by her own people, Lady Sonbef is now a broken woman, who spends most of her days, sitting with a vacant look in her eyes in the gardens of the First House of Betazed.
Colleagues
ChildhoodBorn a noble of House Imyremeshaw of the Kingdom of Byrque on Til'ahn in the city of Maahes, Anen wanted for little as a child. A Prince by birth, Anen's mother was a member of House Reidar and a relative of beloved Empress Meskhenet, while his father's family was of Damodara Commoner extraction, but had been raised to nobility and had produced several Viziers, perhaps due to their close ties with the ever powerful Fielding League. Born a powerful Fielder and into a distinguished Noble (even Royal) House, Anen was predetermined to be destined for great things. Educated by the best tutors, and instilled with a noble value of Noblesse Oblique, in line with Byrque values of Community and cooperation. Anen was known as a bright, intelligent and enthusiastic child, who was the light of his parent's lives. His interest in the arcane and also the healing arts presented themselves in these early years and he underwent training by the masters of the Fielding League, while also studying areas of medicine and political theory. On the cusp of adulthood, he was recognized as the shining future and favored son of House Imyremeshaw and he was given a token, if official position in the Royal Court beside his father. He later chose to enter the University of Maahes, despite the growing discontent with the Monarchy after first contact, studying to become a medical Doctor. Early Studies and Revolution2380 would prove to be a turbulent year for all of Til'ahn and the University of Maahes was a hotbed for revolutionary activity and democratic thought. While a student of the sciences and a noble himself, Anen couldn't help but be swept up in it. He associated with moderates, much like his mother, though he also engaged in debates with his more radical peers. Eventually those 'radicals' became violent when change proved too slow. In the course of The Great Revolution, Anen was forced to leave his schooling and seek shelter in the palace walls. While he still snuck out to attend rallies, he quickly learned that it would no longer be safe to remain in the city, or even the planet. Anen's father saw a similar situation, especially after brutal massacres of nobles or those sympathetic to the Monarchy all over Til'ahn. His mother Gautseshen had remained in contact with Betazoid nobles who had attended one of the First Contact galas a year earlier, and like many other nobles, arranged to be transported to Betazed. The FlightIt took weeks for those ships to arrive though and the Revolution was entering its most violent phase. The Palace was almost breached twice and when an evacuation of the royal family was attempted, the arriving shuttles were shot down by small arms fire from the protestors outside. For over two weeks, they were trapped, huddling together in fear of what might come. Eventually, reactionary military forces broke the siege of the Palace and the nobility of Byrque began a mass exodus to Lokesh City, where they boarded any off-world transport they could find. Anen and his family were fortunate to gain passage on one of the first transports to leave, and were quickly ferried to Betazed. All along the trip through Federation space though, news from Til'ahn continued to arrive over subspace. While the details were sketchy, a violent, total planetary coup appeared to be in progress and all of the monarchies of Til'ahn appeared to be falling. Death lists of those nobles who had emigrated were posted by revolutionaries, the members of House Imyremeshaw among them. Once a Prince, Anen was now an exile, with nothing left than an empty title from an insignificant world.
