Key Characters

#### Wil Sietinen

**Williame Reinen Sietinen-Vaenetri** *(b. 2000).* Known as “Wil Sights” around TSS Headquarters, Wil is second in line to the Sietinen Dynasty. He was the first to be awarded a Primus Elite Agent class designation, due to his unprecedented Course Rank (CR) score. He officially entered the TSS training program at the unprecidented age of twelve and graduated when he was only sixteen. He’s well aware he’s exponentially more powerful than any other Agent, and he’s afraid of what he can do with those abilities. He wants nothing to do with Tararian politics, finding it to be a waste of effort compared to the war crisis. He’s a natural problem-solver and enjoys using his exceptional intellect to develop creative solutions. Though he’d prefer to focus on designing spaceships and other engineering-type tasks, he is a capable leader and always rises to any occasion.

#### Cris Sietinen

**Christoph Sietinen-Talsari** *(b. 1975).* Cris is a gifted and charismatic natural leader; though rash in his youth, he’s grown into a fair, confident, and reliable commander. He's Wil's father and Lead Agent in the TSS (Earth moon Headquarters); he holds the highest CR on record until Wil smashes it. He is first-in-line heir to the Sietinen Dynasty, though he’s not excited about a future in business and politics. Wanting to explore his illegal telekinetic abilities, Cris ran away from Tararia at sixteen. Over the course of his explorations, he discovered that the quality of life throughout the empire wasn’t as great as officials on Tararia would have him believe. He committed himself to effecting true change in the Taran government, knowing it would be a decades-long effort.

#### Kate Vaenetri

**Katrine Vaenetri-Makaris** *(b. 1975)*. Kate is Wil’s mother and a Primus Agent. She is the fourth child of the Head of the Vaenetri Dynasty. Kate found an unexpected match in Cris when they met in the TSS, initially upset that he’d hidden his identity but ultimately happy that the two of them together could join forces to lead a revolution on Tararia. Though smart and capable in all areas, her greatest gift is her ability to read people and network. She found comfortable leadership role in the TSS, but her real calling is Tararian politics.
