## Physical description

### Species

Enhanced Human with Domolaki and Valati traits

**Doctor Cassia Penelope Tsatsos,** (born 2176) known among the Domolaki as **Serangir** (meaning either *the Bringer of Justice* or *Revenge)* is a Grecian born Scientist and former President of the breakaway state CEHN in the 2220s. Following her self-inflicted exile, she entered talks with the race known as the Domolaki and eventually formed an alliance. In return for her supplying them information about humankind and her alliance, they granted her near-immortality.

## Early Life

Tsatsos was born to the Grecians **Christos** (2123-2217) and **Penelope Tsatsos** (Nee Karras), (2132-2227), both ethnic Greeks, in Constantinople in 2176. She was their only child.

Tsatsos had always aimed to pursue a scientific career, from being a young girl. She has always had a profound interest in astronomy, having always hoped to explore the stars.

Her time spent at University gained her degrees in Physics and Astrophysics; she also later gained a Doctorate.

## Scientific Career

Following her time at university, she became employed by the **Neo-European Space Agency** in 2201 as a scientific assistant, seeing various promotions over the next few years.

Eventually, Tsatsos became a leading scientist at NESA, being part of the executive team that was involved with designing the Space Cruisers *Tekin & Hayat,* due to her detailed knowledge of space travel, which NESA dubbed 'Rapid Interstellar Transportation,' or RIT for short.

She never actually met Tekin, although he did once write a personal letter to her congratulating her efforts at NESA. Additonally, Tsatsos would later suggest that Tekin wished to 'spend some personal time' with her, although the sources are conflicted.

She moved to the Martian Base of Alsada in 2209, where she continued to work for NESA, further specialising in RIT.

Additionally, Tsatsos was part of an initially quiet campaign for greater representation. Being a valuable employee of NESA, she was not punished too severely, and was permitted to run in the constituent elections in space due to her position in the Agency.

## Mars Directorship

When Tekin reluctantly granted representation for the Space Colonies, Tsatsos ran as a candidate for the Director of Mars in 2223, which she overwhelmingly won. Soon after, she showed her true colours and became vehemently against Tekin, demanding even further representation. When this was obviously not granted, she declared Mars independent from Neo-Europe.

## Escape

With several other key CEHN scientists, she left the Solar system in a smaller CEHN ship later named *Last Hope.*

## Personal Life

In 2207, Tsatsos married **Enver Belushi** (2177-2273), an ethnic Albanian who was a scientist and fellow astronaut. Their marriage ended in divorce six years later. Belushi was later a Loyalist in The Great Interplanetary War, fighting on the Neo-European side and was almost killed, until he was brought to Neo-Europe. However, by virtue of being Tsatsos' former husband, he was imprisoned, only being freed once Ernest Jackson became Premier. Tsatsos herself never had children, though dated two other NESA austronauts in the early 2220s, following which she prioritised her career, in both science and politics.
