Ilian Kade
Overview
Ilian Kade is a senator of Lastor representing the Order Stability Front. A former officer who served in border units, he later became a liaison to the Olmara Planetary Council. His public stance is mild but in private he acts with precision and resolve. He balances political visibility with the demands of security management.
Background
Kade served in operational posts before entering the legislative sphere which gives him direct knowledge of inspection processes and information channels. His involvement in contact missions with the Sorestian Empire makes him wary of any remnants of past massacres and cautious toward any signal that may point to hidden escalation.
Motivations and Goals
He seeks to maintain a stable relationship with Coritha without violating Lastor’s sovereignty and to avoid open escalation at all costs. Kade is determined to keep control of the narrative before it passes into unofficial networks where it may be distorted or weaponized.
Networks and Relationships
He works closely with security committees and maintains a direct line with the City Security Service. He also holds trusted contacts within the Polity Protection Service. He relies on a small group of technical analysts who filter noise and deliver precise summaries.
Skills and Style
Kade is calm and measured. He speaks slowly and clearly and asks few but exact questions. He quickly discerns whether a signal is a political tool or meaningless noise. He knows when to let an issue pass without confrontation.
Weaknesses
His aversion to rupture can delay critical decisions. His strong sense of duty often puts him at odds with the more aggressive strategies promoted by the Polity Protection Service. Memories of past missions sometimes weigh on him and cloud his detachment.
Role in Story
Kade connects the Polity Protection Service report about an unknown trail to the escape of Alisa Geres. He authorizes soft control operations and supports targeted moves instead of noisy measures. He functions as a conduit between political decision making and operational action.
