## Biography

### *Early Life*

Born to minor nobles Geoffrey Blackadder and Gertrude of Hingerton on the 14th Relona, 29 BCV, Edmund Blackadder is a native of the borough of Hantery, found in the sector of Brintshire on Alsakan. It is thought his family are descendants of a notable Petty King of Archais: a kingdom once situated on the planet. Though the evidence for this is non-existent and is a way of Gmaking the irrelevant family members feel better about themselves.

Despite the health services of his immensely rich and powerful world, he still suffered numerous health problems in infancy and the heir of family estate was almost switched to his imbecile cousin twice removed: Second Technician of Red Dwarf, Arnold Rimmer. It's here when he met baldrick due to Baldrick's family traditionally serving Blackadder's family since the idea of 'family' was invented.

Nevertheless, he grew to be a sort of ordinary but ridiculed boy who had an ugly speech impediment where he couldn't say his B's, which became prime comedy in the Heffleyan FSC Private Boarding School that he attended. Despite being noble, his family's estate was relatively small and any research on the matter had to be undertaken from the school library- rather than an expensive human speech therapist. He did eventually learn the /b/ sound by the age of twelve, but in turn became fascinated by all the sounds as he fell in love with the grammar and history of the Basic language. This would inspire his career.

He found a few friends and had a few achievements, but left alone in 11 BCV to attend the University of Alsakan. He eventually gained a Master's Degree in Galactic Basic Language and Human Linguistics five years later (as well as a Grade 6 on the Jizz Organ but he doesn't like to talk about it). This is where he met his "friends" Solicitor Anatoly Smorin, Lord Percy Percy and something called a deathstick. He later took a gap "year" -which ended up being a week- where he was forced to help his Stewjoni cousin MacAdder, the Thane of the *Clan MacAdder*, trawl and sell kippers. This is as bad as it sounds.

### *Career*

Since that week when he was forced to listen to MacAdder discuss a beverage known as Irn Bru, he had several hardships in terms of employment. He didn't have enough credits to fund post-graduate education so his degree became undesirable without a fat old Doctorate on it. He attempted to forge some sort of new hydrogen isotope with his friend Lord Percy to make a good profit in the freighter-fuel industry, but only the greenest compound of "Green" was made, which is very greeny green but had the same worth as a dusty brick smothered with ketchup and was unsellable.

He later found several jobs writing for small bulletins and news papers across Alsakan before finally enrolling himself in a butler academy and becoming, well, a butler by 4 BCV. He was then employed as a majordomo of the household and eventually the Groom of the Stool for the Prince-Regent of Alsakan: who is a bigger knobhead than Baldrick. He did his job well, but once got into a problem with one of the Alsakani counts of high prestige. Not known is much about this, but apparently Blackadder made a deal with the cousin MacAdder to do the duel for him. He was also involved in the fighting the movement against the Alsakani monarchy and may have been the legendary Scarlet Pimpernel.

### *Later Political Career*

After the previous representative of Alsakan, Robert de Scunthorpe (59 BCV-6 ACV), was ensnared by a falling wardrobe and unfortunately was squished to death, Edmund Blackadder was put into the position by the Prince-Regent due to the Prince-Regent growing quite fond of Blackadder and seeing him as a close family friend *(Blackadder doesn't feel the same because the Prince-Regent is an absolute posh buffoon)*.

After this brief job, he later ran for Senator against this man called "Write-In" who keeps running for different regions. He still won a majority against Write-In's gluttonous democratic conquest, and was sworn in as Senator of the Inner-Core and Arrowhead on 6 ACV. He started the duel-monthly satire newspaper of Private Eye, and had submitted numerous legislation- for food hygiene, Boy Scouts and prison quality.

In 8 ACV, he switched constituencies and became Senator of the Coruscant and Core- despite the tragedy that occurred when Lord Percy sadly passed away a few days before.

## Personality, Political Policies and Pastimes

A craven, spoilt, defenestrating, irresponsible boasting, narcissistic twat that thinks he's smarter than everyone else. At times he can be somewhat charitable, sometimes just and shows a good amount of empathy at times, but isn't exactly an innocent Jedi master in terms of morals either. He is your average CHF (Core Human Force-believer) and has conservative policies and wants a stronger action against illegal immigration, terrorist attack and to counter the continuing de-centralisation that's tearing the Republic apart.

He is a patron of many Inner-Core arts and often wears the flamboyant traditional clothing from each world in the region. He has a personal gallery, several shares in the pod-racers of Malastare, is a landlord of some Alderaanian and Corellian commercial property and an avid fly-fisherman. He says he likes to skii, but he's awful at anything active. He just says this to get good press and polls from Alderaan and Corellia.
