Scion Altama

Scion Altama of the Citadel Altama, Guardian and Protector of Altama Prefecture, Defender of the Fertile Fields of Altama Prefecture, Beloved Patron of the Citizens of Altama, and Chosen of the Progenitors as his Incarnate Perfection, the Scion Altama was an inhabitant of the moon EdenWorld. The Scion Altama was described as small and slight, with a neatly trimmed white beard. He wore a tall as mark of his status. He also had the ability to impose his will on others through the power of suggestion. He used this power to send Bill Keeler and his landing Party on a dangerous journey to the Citadel Chiban. 
The Scion Altama ordered Bill Keeler's entire landing party killed, but failed to kill most of them. Later, Keeler sent a squad of warfighters to drag him out into the main square of his citadel and ritually humiliate in the traditional manner of Keeler’s people. At which point, Buttercup pulled the Scion’s underwear over his head and kicked him in the butt. 
Because of his ritual defeat, the Scion Altama lost all of his status. He was forced to flee the citadel in shame and was succeeded by a nine-year-old child who immediately ordered him hunted down and put to death.
