Medium Human, Colonial Administrator, Any
• Persuasion +4 vs NPCs
• Bureaucratic Authority (summon 1d4 Security Troopers with panic beacon)
• Energy pistol 1d8
Born on the Core World of Tarsis Prime, Hestrel was a career bureaucrat in the Verge Authority before being "promoted" (exiled, some whisper) to govern Veyra-9. His appointment came after a failed attempt to cover up a scandal, so his career hinges on proving the colony a success. He presents himself as a fatherly figure, but beneath the polished exterior, he is paranoid and willing to cover up any truth that threatens stability — even if it means sacrificing colonists.
Political leader, manipulative, preserves secrets about ruins.
