Alexander Tylger (Alexander Rai`ix Chume Tylger Pal`durath Hapesah) (born Year -36, D286) is the King of the Hapes Consortium. He is the third male to reign as monarch in the formerly matriarchal state. Tylger was born in to a life of privilege on the planet Arxian in the Zadaria system, as the Hapan Civil War was raging across the Hapes Cluster. After the death of his mother, he was adopted by the Princess Lana Da`tanah Pal`durath, his father's cousin and one of the contenders for the Hapan throne. He received a classic Hapan upbringing during his childhood, and following the reunification of the Consortium, Tylger attended some of the best schools and universities in the Hapes Cluster. There he majored in Political Science, with minors in Culture and History, and became closely associated with a new generation of conservative Hapans as a consequence of his affiliation with the Pal`durath family. Later, he embarked upon a military career before making a move on to the Consortium's political stage.

Over the years, Tylger shifted between military and political life as the need arose, before finally settling in the government once and for all in Year 4. Within the Hapan political circles, Tylger became a controversial figure, forming a conservative bloc along with several nobles of similar heritage. Over the years they successfully blocked the influence of foreign ideals and revolutionary ideas, keeping the Consortium on a more traditional path. King James finally made Tylger his heir apparent in Year 10, following two years as Lord Regent. With the retirement of James in Year 11, the Consortium observed the "Month of the Vacant Throne" before Tylger's coronation on D108. He adopted the Pal`durath surname upon the day of his coronation.

Since becoming ruler of the Hapes Consortium, Tylger has sought to bring about a new renaissance and cultural revival among his peoples, drawing upon his heritage to instill a sense of continuation in the line of Hapan monarchs.

Personal Life, Personality & Beliefs

Tylger is a tall Hapan with a tan complexion and dark hair. He was supposedly born with heterochromia iridum, with one eye being bright blue and the other dark red. This is considered to be somewhat of an imperfection among the beauty-obsessed Hapans. A skirmish with pirates in the Transitory Mists during the early days of his military career led to to the loss of his right hand, which had to be replaced by an artificial one. For much of his life, the cybernetic replacement was worn in the form of an exposed metallic skeletal hand, but in recent years it has been replaced with one covered by synthetic skin, leaving no apparent evidence of artificiality.

Considered laid back with a peculiar sense of humour by those who know him on a personal level, Tylger has typically projected an image of being a no-nonsense, strict, and rigid government official to the public across his career. This public image was strengthened by traditional use of majestic plural in public speeches following his rise to the throne.

He follows typical Tini'duranist and Draconian beliefs that are synonymous with Hapan conservatism.

Fortune

Prior to his ascension to the Hapan throne, Tylger was something of a socialite and jet setter, both inside the Hapes Cluster and elsewhere in the Galaxy. He frequented exclusive establishments such as the C-3 Passenger Liner Scorpio and other resorts that attracted the galactic elite. There, and in galactic trading circles, he established many connections that secured lucrative business and trading deals that expanded his family's significant wealth. While retiring from casual trading years ago, he has maintained numerous sources of income that fill House Tylger's coffers, including prominent commercial endeavours on his home planet of Arxian.

View on the Galactic Civil War

"The Hapes Consortium has endured for four thousand years and will continue to thrive long after rebellions and insurrections have crumbled in to dust. We share the Emperor’s vision of a Galaxy where order reigns, as this will mean a peaceful future for the Hapes Cluster."

— Tylger in his speech to the Galaxy's leaders at the Coronation Ball in Year 11.

Tylger has typically adhered to the traditional Hapan belief that the affairs of the Galaxy outside the Hapes Cluster is of little concern to Hapans or the Hapes Consortium. However, being on the centre stage of the Black Sun Crisis which threatened the Hapan control of the planet Lorell, he became keenly aware of the dangers that break with isolationism posed to the Consortium. This particular event is often cited as what thrust the Hapes Consortium in to the galactic limelight and making it a major player in galactic political affairs. As such, King James sought diplomatic relations with the major powers of the Galaxy which eventually led to the founding of the Imperial Union.

The Rebel Alliance and Jedi Order's hostile reaction to the Consortium's non-aggression pact with the Galactic Empire in Year 4 cemented Tylger's beliefs that the rebel factions of the Galaxy could not be trusted to respect Hapan sovereignty. While not seeking conflict with the states that make up the Galactic Alliance, Tylger's reign has been marked by skepticism towards the efforts to reinstate the Galactic Republic, seeing democracy as a direct threat to the Hapan monarchy.

View on religion

Tylger's father, Laz Tylger, is a staunch follower of the Arxian-Dweian Orthodox Movement that developed in Zadaria during the Hapan Civil War, and gave military support to it as it experienced a conflict with more liberal branches of the religion. Consequently, Alexander was raised to be a follower of the religion and remained devoted to it until recent years. Upon his ascension to more senior offices within the Hapan Government, Tylger seemingly abandoned his religious beliefs, or at least became less public about them. Typically the Hapan monarchs have historically been skeptical of religion, and religious practice was outlawed for centuries in the Consortium due to the Queen Mothers of old fearing that deity worship would interfere with devotion to the Crown. It was not until the Hapan Civil War that the old bans were lifted due to lack of enforcement, and the reunification of the Consortium brought about religious freedom. Even so, Hapan monarchs have typically been atheists, and the Royal Court preaches devotion to the sovereign above all.

Views on the Force

Owing to the demise of the Lorell Raiders at the hands of the Jedi Knights prior to the founding of the Hapes Consortium, Hapans have been notoriously skeptical of Force users and great steps were taken in the past to dismiss the Force as mere superstition. Once the Consortium closed its borders, knowledge of the Force was unfamiliar to anyone outside the Royal Court.

While Kings Andrew and James before him remained casually indifferent towards the Force, Tylger has displayed a great deal of skepticism in line with the monarchs of old. He has frequently stated that much of the Galaxy's suffering over the millennia is owed to petty conflicts between what he describes as selfish cults of Force users seeking supremacy. Even so, the Consortium has maintained its own Force Order in recent years that serves the Hapan throne. Tylger displayed paranoia of the Force during his Coronation Ball, which saw many of the Galaxy's leaders and Force wielders in attendance, by wearing a Ysalamiri on his shoulder, and also decorating the room with the creatures in order to temporarily diminish the power of Jedi and Sith alike.
