Aran Cho

Aran Cho was a captain in the Imperial Navy. Born into a family of strict naval officers, he thus received his officers commission at a relatively young age. He quickly gained rank and was reputed to be a brilliant strategist and motivator. But as his crew could attest, he was no fair task master, personally administering corporal punishments, even for the most minor of offenses. He seemed to enjoy this and often chose one or two soldiers to pick on, and in his words "teach them the virtues of service." Despite this he managed to ingrain deep feelings of loyalty within his troops. By being fair to the many, his crew often turned a blind eye to the unlucky few.
