Lissandra Drummara

## Biography

Officially, the **Deputy Director of Aventis Security**, also known as an **"Esper"** in **Aventis** language, **Lissandra Drummara** of **House Drummara**, a former vassal of the much larger and more prestigious **House Rumania**, is actually the head of a secret organisation known as **"The Order of Merlin"**. The Order is similar to the **Starfleet** clandestine organisation known as **Section 31** and is officially denied by every major house within the Aventis Empire.

Born on the **15th April 2404**, on **Aventis Prime**, Lissandra's father an esteemed member of the **Aventis High Council**, Lissandra demonstrated an intense dedication to both her family and the Empire during her formative years. Her family, House Drummara were respected and powerful within the Aventis Empire, with some even claiming that House Drummara could one day replace House Rumania as one of the **Three Great Houses** of the Aventis Empire.

At **18**, Lissandra was offered a rare opportunity from an emissary of **House Fullex**, a rival Great House to her family's patrons. Officially she would join **Aventis Intelligence** as an operative but unofficially, her exceptional skills and quick thinking would induct her into the ancient **Order of Merlin**, a clandestine espionage group that answered to no house within the Aventis Empire.

Lissandra leapt at this opportunity, seeing this as a great chance to accrue both more power and glory for her family with the Aventis Empire. At **22**, Lissandra's father died and she ascended to a position on the **Aventis High Council**, something that had never happened before as the council used to be exclusively male. For this action, she received great support from **Queen Celia I** and the two became great friends, with Lissandra becoming fanatically loyal to both her and her succeeding daughter, **Queen Hild I**.

By **2443**, Lissandra had ascended to the head of the **Order of Merlin** and used her position on the **Aventis High Council** to carry out the clandestine objectives of the Order. She was responsible for the murder of **Aeron Malthusus, Ordo Gladii** of the **Church of Iron**, when the church attempted to gain independence from the Aventis Empire. However she escaped justice by manipulating a young **Eomer** into accepting blame for the crime, who was undercover with her at the time posing as a married couple. As a result, Eomer was expelled from the Order of Merlin and had his memory of his time as a covert operative wiped.

In **2453**, Lissandra resurfaced again, attempting to use the **United Systems Commonwealth** starship, **U.S.S. Mako**, commanded by her former pupil, **General Eomer** to launch an attack on **House Telkana** who had uncovered evidence that Lissandra and the Order were responsible for several high profile deaths of members of **HURRICANE**, a **Nitavis Independence Movement** encountered by the **U.S.S. Thunderchild (NCC-24521-B)**. To this end, Lissandra designed a **Computer Virus** to wipe the evidence from the **House Telkana** system once to ship had docked with the Mako.

These efforts were partially successful and although Eomer and the Mako crew discovered Lissandra's deception, the information came too late and Lissandra was able to escape on an experimental **Aventis Stealth Vessel**, remarking how it was her word against the Mako.
