Born on Toydaria the young boy grew up near a spaceport, and watching the huge freighters and transports come and go. When he was a teen he apprenticed with a relative loading cargo, and soon enough found a berth aboard a tramp freighter.
Over the year or so he learned to pilot the ship as well as how to operate its systems, learning quickly and serving ably among the crew. When he returned to Toydaria he was told that his parents had enrolled him in the Qenan naval academy and the boy was sent offworld. In four years he graduated as a naval lieutenant aboard an in-system patrol ship.
His career saw advancement, through merit to be sure, but also through chance and the grim but true fact that war produced job openings that peacetime did not. When the cruiser he was serving aboard was hit and the Captain killed, Hades took command, saved the ship and the crew, and was rewarded with a field promotion that became permanent.
He commanded the cruiser for several years, serving with distinction and developing a reputation for cunning strategy. His next command was a carrier, and then he was promoted to flag rank, and given command of a defense sector. In the admiralty, he found his true calling. His natural creativity allowed him to develop tactical approaches no one else could see.
Eventually the nickname of the Tinkerer that he'd carried ever since his first command began to fall into disuse. It had always been spoken with respect, and Hades hadn't minded too much. But by the time he was promoted to the position and rank of Grand Admiral, the troops and crews of the QDF had a new name for him. They called him the Old Master.
When the Qenan government signed on with the United Galactic Federation, it was Grand Admiral Hades who was selected as the senior military commander of all reserve forces. The Remnant, the Lilaste Order and the Draconians would all retain individual commands. The Federation Navy would be under Hades' command. He would of course have to answer to the UGF's defense minister, but the rest of the UGF navy was under the old master's command.
