Non-Canon NPC:
The Right Honorable Lt General The Lord Sir Alasdair Morgan Gunn, Ret.,
1st Count Gunn of Deneb, 1st Baron Gunn of Haliburn, Knight of Idle

  • Report current as of 141:1109 from Imperial Army personnel records and news service entries.

Description (Biography)[edit]

Lord Sir Alasdair is noted for his vigor and youthful appearance, the years seem to have left him untouched by the effects of aging.

  • (Game stats from play files... UPP: 88A9DD)
  • Circa 1079: Married Anya Giorgisdottir, whose father was a merchant on Idle.
  • As of this report he and his wife are awaiting transport on Inar/Inar (Deneb 1213) to their home on Deneb/Usani (Deneb 1925). They have a large house on a 10 Hectare estate, a gift from the Duke. This was a part of the Duke's personal lands. He did this to have Count Alasdair nearby for his counsel.
    • As a courtesy, both for rank in the Imperial Nobility and as a military retirement benefit, Count and Countess Gunn have been awarded membership in the Traveller's Aid Society.
    • The Count is not noted as being very interested in politics, save for the care of the men and women who were under his command over the years. In return for assurances of support for post-service benefits for veterans, particularly former enlisted, he has assigned his proxies in the Imperial Moot to the Duke of Deneb.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

  • Born: 135-1051
  • Birthworld: Tesb/Ahrhi (Old Expanses 2403) - UWP: D77A544-7
  • Ethnicity: Solomani
  • Leaving Tesb: Alasdair was celebrating his 18th birthday by standing watch at the minimal star port near the main settlement on Tesb. A scout/courier on detached duty from Yeaph/Ahrhi (Old Expanses 2105) landed after refueling at the system's gas giant. The pilot (Publius Ullerius) took a liking to the lad and his dreams of serving the Empire and agreed to take him to a world (along his patrol route) where he could enlist. Alasdair's parents approved and provided 25 kg of local semiprecious stones to pay for the lad's passage. During the trip, Publius and Alasdair had long talks and it was decided he was likely best suited to be a soldier. Publius made landfall on Rannow/Rusco (Old Expanses 2603). Using a local contact, Publius sold the stones for Cr 3750 to Sir Thomas, the Knight overseeing the world's governance. He then brought Alasdair to the Imperial Navy base and saw him properly enlisted in the Army, giving the new recruit Cr 500 as a nest egg.

Patents of Nobility[edit]

Military Awards[edit]

Wound Badge - 2nd Class (Silver Gikhikese /2nd Award)
MCUF-2nd Class
