Leslie Shawnasee

Leslie Shawnasee, Lord High Admiral, was the Commander of all Gretian Naval Forces starting in 1277 under Emperor Edward I. He was born in Greyborough sometime in the 1220s, into an impovershed family, and was sold (illegally) into the Navy in his early years. In 1236, he was aboard the HMIS King Edward II when it was attacked by Ikisian Pirates, resulting in the Gretian-Ikisian War, where he was able to raise to prominence in the wars close in 1244. During the Arcadian Revolt, he was able to put down the rebel fleet, and was promoted to Admiral in the Imperian War in 1265. Following the death of the previous Admiral, he was made Lord High Admiral by Emperor Edward I, and continued in that office under the reign of his daughter, Empress Evelyn I. In 1286 (242) he was stationed on the Empress Elizabeth in the Northern Oceans near Iksis, when he responded to a distressed Ikisian vessel about attacking barbarians. The resuling Battle of the Western Seas sparked the Great War, in which he commanded Imperial vessels.
