SOCIAL INFORMATION
[*]Personality: A man who embodies the ideals of aristocracy and old-age Imperialism, Reginald Kardal is a natural politician. Instead of a morally and ideologically inclined stance on issues that affect the Empire, he is a staunch supporter of realpolitik, meaning that he always attempts to see the matter at hand in a practical, fact-financed manner that has gained him praise from his former and current peers. Much like the Grand Moff himself, Reginald keeps in line with the idea of restoring the old Galactic Empire, not much unlike the one that Emperor Palpatine ruled. Contrary to one Tanomas Graf, he does not believe in the doctrine of a 'more Pellaeon-than-Palpatine' government, but he does agree that only a monarch, vulnerable without the backing of other items such as a parliament that could act like a regency council in times of crisis, is a weakness that shattered the Empire, and their own if they do not ensure the balance.
While never failing to apply practical means, Reginald does indeed have a fiercely (some would argue extremist) loyal view of the now-Galactic Empire, having been old enough to serve in several of the resurgent Imperial Remnants from many years past, enough so that he shares a common stance with many other Imperials, the belief that the ends do indeed justify the means. Unlike his colleagues he is not one to order the complete and systematic eradication of a populace just to serve as a symbol of Imperialism, he makes sure that every possible consequence for this action is not one that could bring harm the integrity of his Empire. Some would go as far as to call him cunning in this respect, which is not far from the truth, he has been responsible in orchestrating the downfalls of political opponents and even his own superiors.
COMBAT INFORMATION
A native of Christophsis, Reginald Kardal was born over half a decade ago into a galaxy that many of the denizens scarcely remember, a galaxy without any major conflicts. As a boy he was raised in a relatively minor, but noble nonetheless household, relishing the perks of aristocracy. He attended the finest schools and proved to be one who exceeded expectations and would grow up to become a fine young man. Set up to inherit his family's mining corporation upon his eighteenth birthday, he decided to leave the planet so that he could experience everything the galaxy would have to offer him.
Several decades later, he had been in the military of a small Imperial remnant for some time, having achieved the rank of Army Major when some of the darkest times that the galaxy would face arrived. The galaxy broke out into war, the One Sith, the Galactic Republic, the Mandalorians, and other notable factions. That war, over the period of twenty five years evolved into the current one between the First Order and the Galactic Alliance, and Reginald was stateless for the first time in his life.
Until he found the Empire, which he was inducted into in a heartbeat, rising through the ranks in the process of the Empire's aggressive expansion in the various sectors of wild space, becoming a Marshal of the Imperial Army as well as a loud voice in the Moff Council. A fateful talk with the Imperial Grand Moff, Tanomas Graf, led to his largest promotion, he was crowned Imperial Emperor, to be the Head of State of the entire Empire except he was just a mere figurehead, a symbol that held very little power except for one that Graf could underestimate.
The power to rally the people, the Imperials.

COMBAT INFORMATION
- Weapon of Choice: Wits, Concealed Blaster Pistol, Guards
- Combat Function: Formerly a military leader, Reginald has a keen mind when it comes to command armies on a massive scale, tailoring strategies for individual battles instead of going 'by the book'. Outside of his command experience, he has the basic officer combat training consisting of the use of blasters and his own hands. He prefers to send others such as his guards if he has any to deal with 'issues' instead of having to do so personally, a wise decision given his status as the Empire's reigning monarch.
