Samual Aleksandrovich

Samual Aleksandrovich is a Kolomna-born naval officer. His family owned a fruit-farming business on the Russian-ethnic planet, which (had he stayed) he would have run with his 3 sisters and 4 brothers. He left his home planet in 2558 at the age of 20 to join the Confederation Navy, becoming First Admiral in 2605.

During Laton's attack on Jantrit, Aleksandrovich was working as a lieutenant on a frigate aiding the Edenists. He lead a recovery team, saving 18 Edenists from a tubular honeycomb of polyp and earning a commendation. On this mission, he saw the suffering of the Edenists and came to realise the humanity in them through their suffering. From then on, he does his best to defend Edenists to Adamists who blindly mock them, and holds a deep hatred for Laton.

The commanding officer of the Confederation Navy, Admiral Aleksandrovich is in command of the military response to the possession crisis. A realist, he understands that military force is fundamentally unable to deal with such a problem. He is reluctant to agree to support the attempt to reclaim Ombey from the possessed for this reason, but agrees to the mission because he recognises the political necessity of securing a victory against the possessed for the purposes of public morale.
