BIOGRAPHY:
Simeon was the youngest child of Gregor and Jeselle Alde, of the noble and ancient House Alde of Alderaan.
Gregor was a younger child in a family in which the eldest male children were expected to be the primary inheritors of the family’s business, political, and social position on Alderaan. Those limitations plus his intolerance for political and family intrigue led him to leave Alderaan to make a life for himself and his new bride Jeselle elsewhere. After considerable study, they decided on Nubia.
Gregor’s father wasn’t unkind or inconsiderate of his youngest son and was sympathetic when he announced his decision. He gave his son and new daughter-in-law a considerable sum as a wedding gift hoping Gregor would use it to make a good life for himself.He accomplished that goal with flying colors.
They invested significant amounts in some of Nubia’s industrial giants: Nubian Star Drives, Industrial Automation, TradeCo, Inc, and PharmCorp being four of the primary targets for their investments. Ever mindful of the House intrigue of Alderaan, they wished to keep a low profile; so, they kept their investments to that of minority ownership, never purchasing more than 10-15% of a company’s issued stock. This strategy allowed them to prosper and live affluently while avoiding conflict and controversy.
After living on Nubia long enough to feel settled, they had their first son and named him Trevor. Shortly thereafter, they had a daughter, Amilee, and a second son, Simeon.
Like his siblings, SImeon proved to be a quick study; comprehending and learning things easily. He attended university in Nubia City and graduated with a degree in biomedical engineering.
Simeon was found to be force sensitive as was common in the Alde line. Being a Jedi herself, his mother Jeselle trained Simeon in some of the basic light force skills. Like many of the things that initially attracted his interest, he soon grew bored with it and moved on to things more entertaining.
Simeon was extroverted and gregarious. He was usually the life of the party and frequented the local social scene. He had several, brief romantic interests, but, those too suffered from his lack of self discipline.
A time came when the family was notified that Trevor’s grandfather had died.This threw House Alde in turmoil - at least those living on Alderaan.The eldest brother was shortly thereafter found dead in his speeder at the bottom of a ravine and family leadership was in disarray. Several calls were received asking Gregor to return to help stabilize the family situation, but, he had no trouble denying those requests.
Unlike his brother, Simeon shared his father’s attitude towards Alderaan and the extended family. He had no interest in the Alde’s that might remain on Alderaan. He did however have a great interest and felt an odd compulsion to visit his family’s home world. Any plans he may have made to visit; however, were dropped when Alderaan fell to the One-Sith.
As usual, House Alde resisted the invaders and was dealt with severely. Gregor and Jeselle couldn’t by any means they tried determine if there were any survivors. It seemed likely they were all that remained of House Alde.
His father remained resistant to the idea of getting involved.Trevor, on the other hand, was even more interested. He had a burning desire to see his family’s home world before it was totally destroyed by the terra-forming – vong-forming they called it. When he was offered a contract to travel to Alderaan on behalf of Nubia Star Drives, he took it. Shortly after his arrival he disappeared and was not heard of again.
To his credit, Simeon had a deep love for his immediate family. Additionally, by the time he graduated from the university, his parents actually thought he might be maturing ~somewhat~ as his thoughtless actions and comments seemed to decreasing.
He secured safe passage to Alderaan and, against his parents better judgement, traveled there to try to find his brother.
