For the rest of his adult life Mons Vorndome was the curse and pest of the Quadrant. No worse enemy of freedom has ever appeared in the trappings of polite civilisation. Insatiable appetite for power, cold calculating ruthlessness and monumental greed for riches all presented themselves armed with fire, phaser and sword. The veneer of culture and good manners, of brilliant ceremonies and elaborate etiquette, only added a heightening effect to the villainy of his life's story. Better the barbarian conquerors of antiquity, primordial figures of the abyss, than this quiet, machiavellian creature, strutting amid the bows and scrapes of servitors and assassins to the torment of his age. Cruel and duplicitous, excelling in his lust for power, this Master of Engineers disturbed and harried the Galaxy with the lights of perverted science through decades of arrogant pomp. | For the rest of his adult life Mons Vorndome was the curse and pest of the Quadrant.

Vorndome instructed LeNoir to hire some jobbing Dorfmen mercenaries: Zamak Kalble and Svorna Destave from [[Byzatium]] to assassinate a leading [[Pythron]] General and decorated war hero, Clovis Wulfantine (father of the USS Independence-A’s Security Chief Eyas Wulfantine). General Wulfantine had recently decided to dispatch his own adjutant, Captain Leo Beaufytor, to find Eyas and assist him aboard the Independence following Eyas’ trial during the mission to Wheeler Colony. General Wulfantine was concerned that Eyas was struggling in his career in Star Fleet, and wanted the older and probably wiser Beaufytor to keep a brotherly watch over him. | Vorndome instructed LeNoir to hire some jobbing Dorfmen mercenaries: Zamak Kalble and Svorna Destave from [[Byzatium]] to assassinate a leading [[Pythron]] General and decorated war hero, Clovis Wulfantine (father of the USS Independence-A’s Security Chief Eyas Wulfantine). General Wulfantine had recently decided to dispatch his own adjutant, Captain Leo Beaufytor, to find Eyas and assist him aboard the Independence following Eyas’ trial during the mission to Wheeler Colony. General Wulfantine was concerned that Eyas was struggling in his career in Star Fleet, and wanted the older and probably wiser Beaufytor to keep a brotherly watch over him. Leo, like Eyas too, was raised on the planet [[Pythron|Pythro V]] in a close-knit but disciplined military family. Being the eldest of four, Leo was expected to be an example to his siblings on how to be a good warrior. Born just a year after a devastating alien attack upon Pythro, Leo’s early childhood lacked the normal comforts that later generations now enjoyed. Leo grew into a typical young [[Pythron]] male: tall, broad with long wavy blond hair (almost like a lion's mane to human eyes). He received his ceremonial armour at the age of 18 (as with Pythronic custom) which he wears proudly over his chest on ceremonial occasions. Leo was encouraged to join Star Fleet by his father’s friend, General Wulfantine. Leo went to the Star Fleet Academy, and graduated as a full Security / Tactical Ensign. However, instead of being posted to a ship, he decided to return to Pythro to serve as a military liaison between the Pythron Armed Forces and the Federation Embassy in the capital city of Bantok. He was also promoted to the rank of Captain in the Pythron Guards (equivalent of Lieutenant JG in Star Fleet), and was also made adjutant to General Wulfantine. | ||
