Ishiyama Kaii

Ishiyama KaiiCogent Sheet
**Ishiyama Kaii** is the current Lord Marshal of Kaikyo, holding rule over the Kaikyo Guard, and thus by extension over the rest of the country's political apparatus. To many, he is considered the most powerful man in the country, even though ostensibly the Oyabun is the outward face for the government.

## History

### Early Life and Career

Born to a well positioned military family, his father was one of two Grand Admirals of the Kaikyo Astronaval Guard, being responsible for the Great Northern Flotilla, which ensured that the northern frontier of the country was kept clear of pirates or external threats. Being an only son, Kaii would be faced with an incredibly regimented childhood, designed to make him into a proper inheritor of his family's legacy.

Attending military academies, officer schools, and being under the tutelage of numerous fellow Admirals; from a young age Kaii would be taught the art of both war and military statesmanship. At the age of seventeen he would be granted his first commission; assisting command officer on the missile destroyer *KAG Kunisada*.

#### Assistant Commander of the *KAG Kunisada*

The *KAG Kunisada* was assigned to the 3rd Fleet of the Northern Flotilla, the 3rd Fleet's principal responsibility being light security and piracy interdiction, along with adopting rear-line maneuvers in times of war. Generally, it was considered the least prestigious of the Northern Fleet, though with the *Kunisada* serving as the flag; his father expected him to serve aboard it well, and to demonstrate capability in a more rough environment.

The captain of the *Kunisada* was an apathetic and callous individual, ruling by pure dictate and harshly reprimanding those that failed to live up to his standards. Unbeknownst to the leadership of the vessel, after several months of sailing several crew members had organized contacts with a nearby pirate station, pretending that they were genuinely traitorous; in all reality they simply wanted a massed attack on the vessel when it was alone to give cover for their murder of the captain.

Their plan being struck, the captain would find his room being suddenly fragged between changes of shift, happening concurrently to a massed attack by several shuttles. On meal break with first lieutenant having the bridge, Kaii would be forced to rally available marines aboard the vessel to bring the ship back under control, a firefight ensuing over the next forty minutes. At the end of it, the halls would run red with the blood of sailors, the mutiny crushed; but the ship's defenses faltering under mismanaged defensive PDS fire. The mutineers had thought fending off a massed swarm would be easy enough for a vessel of the KAG.

Forcing his way to the bridge, he would find his first lieutenant dead, a petty officer first class instead holding the helm. Having nearly everyone on the bridge shot who didn't loudly return a cheer towards the Oyabun he made, he would assume control of the vessel; quickly turning the ship around in a suicidal charge towards the swarm of shuttles.

Some would dodge, but the ship would find itself battering through the cloud of ships, anti-matter explosions from breached miniature QBD drives rattling around it. Their numerical advantage removed, and numbers rapidly plummeting under the organized fire of the vessel's PDS systems, the pirates would make a hasty retreat.

The *Kunisada* had proven itself worthy of life, and of service in the Oyabun's Astroguard.

#### Captain of the *KAG Kunisada*

The message from the Admiralty would be clear; immediate field promotion to acting Captain of the fleet flagship *KAG Kunisada* and Admiral of the 3rd Northern Fleet. With this mission came a new directive; find the haunt of the pirates that struck them and liquidate.

Reconsolidating the 3rd Northern Fleet, he'd set out several etheric bends out from the northern frontier of Kaikyo, in the process having makeshift repairs administered to the *Kunisada*. Jumping out and maneuvering towards the planet of KASR-3581, a barren planetoid, a concerted assault would take place. Over the course of several hours, the swarms of shuttles would be dispatched, and the station's weapon systems would be disabled.

Rather than be captured, the station would find itself gravitational tugged by the fleet, and sent careening towards the surface of KASR-3581-- All souls onboard. The only thing that would remain of the station was a crater.

The *Samurai of Kunisada* he would be called in the Kaikiri press.

But to his closest confidants and friends, or at least those that were still living after the mutiny debacle, he balked under the public attention; while believing he had fought well for his country, he also understated his accomplishments and would state that he was simply doing what was required of him. Above all else, though, he just simply despised the attention by virtue of its nature.

He would hold similar opinions when the Supreme Guard Council advised his permanent ascension to the rank of Admiral, replacing his late previous superior. However, at the insistence of both sitting members of the Council, which included his father, he would accept the position along with the advisory of a retired admiral for a duration of four years as he adjusted.

#### Admiral of the 3rd Northern Fleet

The 3rd Northern Fleet under Kaii's rule would be completely reconsolidated and structurally rebuilt, shaking off the lackluster reputation it had held for at least two centuries by that point; conversely, pirate activity on the frontier of Kaikyo's north would precipitously plummet. He would hold this position until his twenties, practically living on the *Kunisada* for the whole while. Eventually, his tenure would end with the death of the 1st Northern Fleet's Admiral, who was also his Father's close friend.

#### Admiral of the 1st Northern Fleet

The 1st Northern Fleet, compared to the 3rd Northern Fleet, was a completely different situation. Consisting of the main ships of the line for the Great Northern Flotilla, the flagship would be the mighty *KAG Isimura*, an imposing gun battery titan. Managing over a ship with over twice the crew, and a fleet with countless more components, he would be hard pressed to adapt; even more-so the 1st Northern Fleet would find itself at rest most of the time, and he would begin his first introductions with the politics of the KAG-- And he had made some enemies.

Admiral Miyamoto Kuniyuki, head of the 2nd Northern Fleet, had been widely considered the favored to eventually lead the 1st until Kaii made his mark. Maligned, and now stuck in a position he had previously thought was just a stepping stone, he brewed. Over the course of two years, he would plot a vast conspiracy with the goal to assassinate Admiral Kaii.
