## Biography

### Early Life and Adulthood

Around the year 5900 ASA, Herman Sauler was born on the planet Hailstorm to parents from Borealis. His family was brought to noble status by Lord Edgar Stone of House Stone, and so House Sauler became a powerful asset for House Stone ever since its formation took place. Herman presumably spent much of his life traveling between Hailstorm and the Borealan capital of Borealis, which he most likely considered to be his true home over the desolate icy rock he was born on to cement his ability to be chosen as Sentinel.

At some point in his life, the prison population of Hailstorm reached one million, and in what seemed like a twisted miracle, Herman Sauler was chosen as the planet's first Sentinel through divine means. Sauler assumed the role of warden of the penal colony and continued his work well into his old age.

### Jailbreak

In 5957 ASA, the Dawns had infiltrated the Hailstorm penal colony by cover of a battle between Borealan and imperial Drazarian military forces in the space surrounding the planet. Either during or before the skirmish between the Borealans and Drazarians, Herman Sauler was transported off-world to a safe location on Borealis, with the Praeliorian Elite Gris Véridémi temporarily taking his place as warden at the request of Sentinel and Lord Danton Stone.

The imprisoned House Lafayette, whose members were kept confined on Hailstorm for a decade, were successfully freed by the Dawns, and Véridémi was killed. Herman Sauler was informed of the events that occurred on Hailstorm by Lord Oswald Rosewood, captain of the Thorns and Lord of House Rosewood.

#### Aftermath

In the immediate aftermath of the Hailstorm jalibreak, Herman was still being kept safe on Borealis. He was in contact with Ambassador Percival Hayes, a close associate of Sentinel Stone. Sauler spoke with Hayes about what happened on Hailstorm, and sarcastically wished him good luck before ending the transmission.

When news of the crimes committed against House Lafayette by House Stone and its allies were announced for the galaxy to see during a Galactic Embassy hearing, tensions rose even further on Borealis. Rumors circulated amongst the people of the lower city levels regarding House Stone's involvement in a conspiratorial plot to undermine House Lafayette. In a public announcement, Danton misleadingly absolved Herman Sauler of any responsibility relating to the situation as a whole, instead attributing Sauler's actions to Borealis' "supposed allies of Praelior."
