BIOGRAPHY:

The long and storied history of the rebel general known simply as Kalen is full of enough intrigue to fill a novel. For the sake of brevity, his life has been summarized.

Born into the Hapan nobility, Kalen Khal was married at seventeen to a minor member of the royal family, Princess Aros Daaray. She was a sadistic and cruel woman who used her position of power to abuse Kalen for her own enjoyment. Because Kalen was a man, he could not fight back without severe consequences. He endured this treatment for two years, until one day the princess went too far, brandishing a knife at him. He managed to seize the weapon and turned it on her, stabbing her seventeen times according to court records.

For this crime, he was arrested and branded with the epithet of 'womanslayer'—a brutish beast, the lowest of the low. Condemned to die, he escaped before his execution could take place, riding the coattails of a prison break staged by a group of pirates. He joined their crew, becoming a marauder. After ten years in space, he grew dissatisfied with piracy. He realized he was surrounded by old men who had once dreamed of a better world. But they merely took comfort in the fantasy, while reality got worse. Those old men could've started a revolution a long time ago, but they didn't, and for their inaction the youth suffered—he had suffered. So Kalen made a vow that he wouldn't be like them. He would make sure that the next generation of Hapans would never have to live through the things he did.
