Good Ol' Scoundrel
Name: Akash Guul, The Puppet Master
Loyalties: [member="Tai Fa"]; loosely affiliated with Vitor Avendahl
Role: Spymaster
Development Threads: Appears in Independence Day: X : X : X : X : X
Age: 45
Species: Givin
Appearance: Akash possesses the almost identical features that Givin have with only rougher features and a slightly more protruding skull differing Guul from the rest of his race. He would be seen, more often than not, wearing loose and comfortable clothes of expensive fabric and various embroidery. Sometimes, he could be seen with less striking clothes such as those found on the picture to your right.
Personality: Akash Guul is a poet, first and foremost. He is a man of abstract thought. An artist by nature and soul, he loves the use of symbolism and allegory in his speech. With a complete set of manners, Guul could easily pass for a respected noble of a wealthy and influential galactic family.
He is a calm and collected person, very methodical and pragmatic. No one has ever even seen the Givin express a destructive emotion such as anger or fury. Even when in a losing position, Akash is gracious and seems as if he had been instrumental in the actions that led him to lose. And one should not be surprised if that is the case ? A naturally talented plotter, he can weave his machinations in such a fashion that he may seem totally with no control while it being the absolute opposite.
There are rumors that Guul's superb loyalty to Lord Fa stems for the former's pursuit of a life worthy of a novel.
What better story could Guul write than the story of his life, right ?

History: What is known of Akash Guul to this day remain a puzzle of rumors. Some say only Lord Fa knows more but it is suggested that even the Thirriken does not know completely the backstory of his spymaster.
It is fair to say that Akash was brought up in a wealthy family on Yag'Dhul, possibly of a family that had extensive history with the Body Calculus. Unlike, most if not all, of his race, Akash developed, or was born with, a more creative way of thought. More abstract. However, still retaining the Givin's notable methodical and calculative way of solving things.
Nothing is known of his childhood and teenage years but it is strongly believed that Guul had graduated Psychology with an excellent grade from a prestigious Corsucani university, others even suggest he had even reached the rank of assistant professor further down the road. That information was not as credible as the rumors that said that Akash Guul was a poet and a novelist. Many seem to have met Guul in locations such as libraries or catching him finishing off words on what seemed to be a piece of poetry.
Whatever the truth behind those claims was, one thing was certain - Guul was fiercely loyal to Lord Tai Fa. He had also been instrumental in expanding the Thirriken's influence across the galaxy, along with supplying him with tons of information and generally having his back.
His personal motives ? Unknown.
Perhaps, he really just wanted to write a bestseller.
Intent: Flesh out the mysterious spymaster that serves Tai Fa and who will occasionally make an appearance in some of Vitor's storylines.
