Biography
Childhood
Albrecht Drayson was born in Year -8, Day 210 on Corellia. Son to Rogan and Kaiya Drayson, he has a younger brother Jorus and a younger sister Lannah. His family owns a small, relatively successful transportation and courier firm based on Corellia, as such he and his sibling never wanted for anything as they grew up. The Drayson children received the best education that was available and began to learn the family business from an early age. His was a good childhood, as compared to most. His parents could be strict disciplinarians, and constantly drilled the importance of personal and family honor into their children, but they also allowed Albrecht and his siblings a degree of independence. At the age of twelve Albrecht was with his father when some clients arrived at the families hanger to pick up a shipment his father had imported for them. When his father asked for payment, the men drew their blasters and fired, wounding his father. As the men turned their attention to their shipment, Albrecht grabbed his fathers small hold-out blaster and without thinking, turned the weapon on one of the men and fired, hitting him in the back and killing him. He then fired on the second man, who fell dead after being hit in the throat. After the incident, Albrecht was surprised at how easily he had pulled the trigger on another sentient, and was even more surprised at the lack of remorse, or feelings of any kind over what happened. Over the next few years Albrecht continued to learn the various business aspects of his father, negotiations, finance, piloting, computers and management skills, his father covered them all. Albrecht knew however that he didn't want to follow the path his father was setting before him. When, at the age of 18, Albrecht announced to his family he enlisted in the Corellian Defense Force his father was furious. After a heated argument, his father told him in no uncertain terms that if Albrecht were to leave, he would be disowned. Without a thought, Albrecht left the family estate, and didn't look back. He thought that it would bother him, but it didn't. In fact he was surprised that he felt nothing, no emotion at all.
The Corellian Defense Force
Albrecht initially entered the Corellian Defense Force Training Academy as just another cadet. It soon became clear to his instructors that he possessed certain skills and aptitudes which set him apart from the other cadets. He was transferred from basic cadet training to a specialized advanced training program which included training in demolitions, covert tactics, advanced weapons training and small unit command. Throughout his training Albrecht excelled, completing every task in a cold, calculated manner. After the year long training regimen, Albrecht graduated with the rank of Warrant Officer and was assigned to the Angelus Sanguinem (Blood Angels) squad of the 103rd Special Operations Wing as it's third officer. The 103rd specialized in small unit operations, ranging from anti-pirate sweeps to hostage rescue to high risk covert operations. Albrecht saw action almost immediately upon being assigned when the fifteen man unit was tasked with the eradication of a particularly bloody pirate band operating in the sector. After the pirate gang had been wiped out to the man, Albrecht further proved himself during a string of operations against various pirate gangs, terrorist cells and a few classified covert actions.
Over the next four years Albrecht rose through the ranks, achieving the rank of 2nd Lieutenant and being appointed the Dark Angels executive officer. In year 14, the Blood Angels were dispatched on a hostage rescue mission in the Rendili system. A terrorist group had seized control of the Parliament building and was holding several members of parliament and their staff hostage. The squad surrounded the governmental compound, and under cover of dark entered the Parliament building. At first things went according to plan, however, when the team began to close on the main chamber, everything wen terribly wrong. The point man of one of the elements failed to detect a booby trap in time. It exploded, killing the everyone in the five man element. The next few chaotic minutes were filled with shouts, explosions and blaster fire. When it was all said and done the terrorists were all dead, most of the hostages were rescued and Albrecht and five other Blood Angels emerged, wounded, but alive, the only remaining members of the squad. Upon returning to Corellia, the surviving members of the squad were called before and investigatory commission. Two very influential hostages had lost their lives during the assault, and there were questions that needed to be answered. In the end, after almost two days of testimony, the matter was closed. Details have remained classified to the highest levels. The surviving members of the squad received the highest honor, the right to wear the Corellian Bloodstripes, however they were also each transferred out of the 103rd Special Ops Wing and into other units. Albrecht took the re-assignment in stride, and when his term of enlistment expired, he left the service, opting for civilian life.
Credo of the Angelus Sanguinem
What is your life? My honor is my life.
What is your fate? Duty is my fate.
What is your fear? My fear is to fail.
What is your reward? Glory is my reward.
What is your craft? My craft is death.
What is your pledge? My pledge is eternal service. While the enemies of Corellia still draw breath, there can be no peace. While criminal hearts still beat, there can be no respite. While the wicked prey upon the weak and the innocent there can be no forgiveness."
Post military life
In the year since Albrecht left the Corellian Defense Force he has lived the life of a wanderer, never staying in any one place for long. He has taken jobs as a bodyguard, bounty hunter, freighter pilot and mercenary among others. He has currently signed on with the Arkanian Brotherhood.
Personal Information
Description
Albrecht is a male Corellian and stands 6'5" with a slightly muscular build. He has smooth, lightly tanned skin, and is clean shaven, but with an ever present five o'clock shadow. He wears his jet black hair in a short, utilitarian style. His cold, piercing, blue eyes scan his surroundings constantly. His stony expression is devoid of emotion and seldom changes.
His clothing choices are very simple and utilitarian. He favors his long, knee length duty coat which still bears his rank insignia and other duty patches from his military service. He also wears his old blast vest and typically a dark t-shirt. His padded utility pants sport the distinctive Corellian Bloodstripe running down each leg. He keeps his black, knee high armored boots highly polished.
Personality and Habits
Albrecht is very self-sufficient and chooses to rely on his own talents. He prefers his own council and does not work with other lightly or on a whim. In most instances Albrecht is cold and analytical in his decision making process. He counts himself lucky that he has never been burdened with emotion. Emotions only serve to cloud things, making difficult decisions even more so. The life he has chosen has no room for them. He is a quiet, stern individual, choosing to blend into his surroundings whenever possible. When he does speak however, it is in a clear, loud, commanding voice. He seldom engages in idle chatter or small talk. His personal honor is very important to him as such his word is his word, and never broken. Lacking in empathy Albrecht is not adverse to the use of force when it is needed and he is more than willing to shoot first.
